vGroup Scheduler is Velrada's purpose-built group scheduling solution which sits on top of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service and Resource Scheduling, designed to simplify workforce coordination at scale. It enables dispatchers/schedulers to identify qualified resources, consolidate them around shared requirements, and schedule them as a unified group — reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency.
Large-scale utilities and infrastructure operators face scheduling demands that go beyond the capabilities of the standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service. Work orders frequently require multiple technicians to mobilise simultaneously, diverse skill sets to be coordinated across a single job, and execution managed over multiple days or work phases.
Out-of-the-box D365 Field Service scheduling is optimised for single-resource deployment, leaving dispatchers to bridge the gap manually. The result is repeated schedule searches, increased risk of resource misalignment, and limited visibility when managing group requirements at scale.
vGroup Scheduler addresses this directly. Through assisted, rule-based, and fully configurable scheduling for Requirement Groups at its core, it reduces both the effort and the margin for error in complex, multi-resource coordination.
