Epica helps assign the right resources to the right tasks
Our virtual assistant facilitates effective resource allocation across multiple projects running in a company.
Epica uses natural language processing to find the most appropriate resource for the tasks based on historical data and predetermined models, e.g., experience with a certain client or equipment. This is one of the resource allocation models Epicflow has, and a resource manager can choose any option depending on the current needs and requirements.
Why the Entire Team Needs Epica Project Management Virtual Assistant to Deliver Better Output
Epica sends notifications to project
team members
- If they forget to log their hours (upon the project manager’s request),
- If they deviate from the established task priorities,
- If they have several personal tasks in progress; then Epica reminds them that they should work only on one task at a time to be efficient and asks to put one of the assignments on hold.
Epica shows the highest priority tasks
A resource can ask Epica about their daily tasks, and Epica will display the user’s task list with the tasks sorted by priority.
Epica AI assistant can calculate the best dates for a day off or a vacation for any project team member without harming the project flow
Any user can ask Epica whether a certain date or dates are suitable for having a rest or ask the assistant to define the best dates for a holiday. In response to this question, Epica shows a calendar with the dates marked with different colors.
- The blue and green colors mean that these days are suitable for a vacation.
- The yellow and red colors mean that the absence of the resource will harm the project flow and cause delays.
Based on this information, a resource can decide whether it’s reasonable to be absent on a certain day or if it’s better to postpone the vacation to avoid bottlenecks in the project flow.
