3. Detailed Resource Planning with TCmanager®
Successful seminar planning requires thoughtful resource management, where the specific requirements for trainers, equipment, and rooms are captured and controlled in detail. TCmanager® provides you with the necessary tools to optimally and economically utilize all resources and precisely manage their availability. Below, we present how TCmanager® Seminar Management effectively organizes trainers, equipment, and rooms to ensure the efficient use of these valuable resources.
3a. Trainer Planning and Availability
Trainers are one of the most valuable resources in seminar planning.

Room Booking and Availability:
- Detailed room descriptions regarding size, location, and technical equipment (projectors, whiteboards, etc.).

Thanks to the professional Seminar Management Software, the availability of each resource can be considered, significantly simplifying planning processes and utilizing resources more efficiently. This allows you to make flexible adjustments and immediately accommodate spontaneous changes without losing track. This facilitates management and reduces time-consuming coordination and planning errors.
