Sometimes, a person or company providing a service to your resort or your guests can be an employee or on-site contract supplier. Other times, it's a company or person that you want to treat separately. Planniac gives you some different ways to set these resources up so that you can select them when making plans.
Resources

Tour operators
Taxi or shuttle operators
In-house departments like housekeeping or maintenance

A freelance masseuse
Team Members
These are people who are usually employees or onsite subcontractors. They are set up in Admin Settings > Team Members. Depending on the department(s) they are in and the settings you use, they will be able to:

Be assigned tasks
Be marked as a resource to be assigned to certain Tour, Transfer, and Spa activities
