How to set up your multinational resource pool in VOGSY

VOGSY is specifically designed to help you manage project teams that span across multiple countries and subsidiaries. Setting up a unified, multinational resource pool is easy. This article will walk you through the essential steps.

A global resource pool is made up of local teams from your various business units. To accurately reflect this, you must first link each employee to their specific "home" company or department within your organizational structure.

• Action: Go to the Employees section in the back office and assign each person to the correct company or department. This ensures they are part of both their local team and the global resource pool.

To ensure resource availability is calculated correctly, it is crucial to set up the appropriate holiday schedule for each location.

• Action: Create a unique holiday schedule for each country or region where you have a subsidiary. Then, associate that schedule with the corresponding company or department.

VOGSY can help you find the most suitable resources for your projects. To enable this, you need to add skills and activities to your employee profiles.

• Action: In the Employees function, assign specific skills (e.g., "Java," "API Integration," "Financial Modeling") and skill levels to each person. This allows you to search your entire global talent pool for the right expert for any project.

To properly track the costs when employees work on projects outside of their home company, you must set their intercompany cost rate.

• Action: For each employee, specify their intercompany cost rate. This special rate is automatically applied whenever they log time on a project belonging to a different subsidiary, ensuring accurate cross-company financial tracking.
