Origin story

From its origin in 2013, Resource Hero has gone from an internally used, macro-ridden spreadsheet, to a Salesforce native app providing resource management to over 3,500 users ranging from small businesses to Fortune companies around the globe.

Before its creation, Resource Hero co-founder and Local Wisdom managing partner Pinaki Kathiari researched a variety of solutions for a cohesive, customizable resource management platform for his growing business. With no solution in sight, Pinaki teamed up with fellow co-founder Bill Kuehler to create Resource Hero, an app dedicated to simplifying both the day-to-day and big picture aspects of resource management. Their everlasting quest to create the most easy-to-use, flexible, and cost-effective product makes Resource Hero the best option for resource planning, time tracking, and reporting.
