"Float has been really helpful in planning our traffic"
What do you like best about Float?

simple UI. ease of use, no-nonsense responsive navigation, float helps you visualize the the capacity traffic and schedules so that you can make some sense out of it.

What do you dislike about Float?

not much to dislike, works like a charm. it would be better if it could also provide a way for the team members to update the deviations in allocation. This would help the project co-ordinator to gauge delays early on.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

we use float to render our resourcing schedules. This helps us broadcast resource availability and manage traffic for multiple projects. with the ease of use that float brings, it gets really easy to fig out information from the data.

"Perfect for small teams"
What do you like best about Float?

The visual aspects of team allocation is really nice. Good reporting also.

What do you dislike about Float?

When teams are big, or people is allocated to many projects, view may not be that useful.

"Float ; An useful software for an easy planning"
What do you like best about Float?

Overall planning for teams, easy day-by-day task management, task categories, projet / customer management, api to retrieve planning on other software (such as notes calendar)

What do you dislike about Float?

Still quite difficult to manage 1/2 day task, no way to plan meeting easily

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Team management has always been quite messy on our teams, and no overall was available with Notes calendar, so Float has been worshiped when we got it

"Great tool for scheduling across a busy creative team"
What do you like best about Float?

The quick and intuitive means by which projects and jobs can be added, updated and moved around in schedules. It's a really handy way to both view and quickly update the full picture of workloads, schedules, availability and project progress.

What do you dislike about Float?

While excellent for immediate-term planning, I would like to see a little more in the way of options for longer-term, or non-date-specific, planning - perhaps the ability to add a "pending" column that sits persistently alongside the day and date columns, to act as a reminder of jobs that will come onto schedule soon but aren't ready to be assigned to a particular day/week! It would also be useful to be able to less evenly proportion time across days - e.g. spread a job over two days but assign more hours to one than the other, rather than the equal split as present. These are feature requests rather than issues, though - on the whole the experience is excellent and does exactly as you'd hope/expect.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been trialling Float in order to replace a pen-and-whiteboard system in our office - it replicates the experience of that board almost exactly, with the added bonus that our team and other teams within the agency can view the schedule from anywhere, rather than needing to be at the office location. So far, with the exception of the minor suggested tweaks above, it has done everything we've needed it to.

"Simple and effective"
What do you like best about Float?

Float makes it simple for me to view all my team members' availability and check who is working on which projects from one location. The interface is intuitive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about Float?

Integration with other systems could be improved.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Float keeps everyone on the same page when it comes to resource scheduling. With the ability to view all our team members' availability in one place at a glance, it helps avoid scheduling conflicts - and also helps project managers see where we have extra capacity.

"Great flow and usability."
What do you like best about Float?

Simply and easy to navigate interface, it's not overly complicated or busy. Streamlines our workflow and allows for a quick overview of what's happening in the coming weeks.

What do you dislike about Float?

When dragging and moving jobs around they always revert back to one day, which can be frustrating. It would be great if it was easier to update client details and leave notes on client files.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Structuring our weeks and identifying gaps and overrun in our scheduling has been a huge help. Overall, Float has helped us to be more efficient as an agency.

"Mark Kerrs Review"
What do you like best about Float?

The ability to have Float synced up with our offices #slack group. Float also has a very clean look, easy to see whats going on and check others schedules.

What do you dislike about Float?

Seems a little resource heavy on my work computer. Sometimes when scrolling from left to right or vise versa, the program likes to hang on me and then shoot me a few months ahead.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Schedule coordination among other project mangers, seems to make it much easier. Less time over scheduling sub contractors as its easy to just login float and check the open schedules.

There's nothing negative, would only improve the design to have more vivid colors

"Fast and easy time planning for teams"
What do you like best about Float?

It's quick and easy to plan out each member of the team's schedules and keep track of how things are progressing. Also, should business or client needs change, it's super simple to move things around.

What do you dislike about Float?

Sadly, there doesn't appear to be any way to have dependent tasks like you would in more of a traditional float chart style setup which would be handy for some projects where tasks must be completed in a series so you don't have to move multiple tasks around one by one.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling has been made quicker and easier so there's been a great timesaving, also the team all have full visibility of what everyone across the agency are doing and what's upcoming.

"Love the Calendar View"
What do you like best about Float?

Love how easy this software is to learn and implement at our organization. The calendar view where we can see what all of our employees are working on at the same time has been very helpful.

What do you dislike about Float?

It's hard to delete a user when an employee moves on to another company. Even though we have removed their profile from Float, their names still appear in various drop down menus.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Float as our traffic management software.

"small installation business"

We moved from a server-based system which needed to load on a PC connected to our office network. Having our schedule in the cloud was an instant success and being able to view on the go and on devices is a huge benefit for us.

What do you dislike about Float?

There are a few bugs early on but the customer support team were very quick to address. a better iOS app would be good.

Being able to edit our schedule quickly and when things change is a huge step forward.

"Excellent resource planning software"
What do you like best about Float?

Easy to use, integrates well with Slack, and provides a good iOS app that works well on iPad. Google Calendar integration is also handy.

What do you dislike about Float?

Lack of dedicated Android app, although the web functionality is usable.

What problems is Float solving and how is that benefiting you?

We switched from a mishmash of resource planning spreadsheets to Float. Using Float has given us a single place to look when planning resourcing.
