Float Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Review team allocation

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)

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Data mining is best and really like the search capabilities in the tool

Lacks reporting high-level information to the management

Project management - this is the best tool for the entire team to look into the status, schedule and allocation of work

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.

Integration with other systems could be improved.

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.

Ease of use, its straight forward and quick to add/edit/remove projects, and move jobs form on e person to another, which is great for a fast-moving agency schedule Float makes it easy to see potential bottlenecks for resourcing, or shortfalls in workload.

There were a few minor UI issues, these have been resolved by a recent update.

Float provides a nice, simple to use, top-level view of the company schedule.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Float is easy to use and make it easy to understand work that has been scheduled.

The scrolling can be a bit jumpy sometimes

With Float we're able to schedule our client work in advance and our time can quickly and effectively plan their time.

It is very visual and practical. Easy to use and see. Its simplicity is its higher strength.

I would like a Project Gantt aditional tool. Tasks in the Project would appear on resources assignation.

A more organized assignation for me and my colleagues.

The design and functionality of the app make it one of the best and friendliest apps to use to organize your time and check what your team members are working on.

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

Helps me organize my time, and check what my colleagues are working on and if they are at the office or not

Clean and simple view or task scheduling easy to view addition info speed of loading

have not found myself in need of any features not offered.

Delivering creative studio resource scheduling

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.

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.

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.

Everyone knows what they need to work on and for how long. As a user who's juggling multiple projects at any one time, it makes my daily work life a lot easier.

I've been using Float for roughly six months now and I have not yet encountered any issues.

Effective time management is the biggest benefit.

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.

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.

We use Float as our traffic management software.

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.

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.

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

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

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

The global overview of my work week and the drag and drop feature make it easier for me to plan ahead. Plus, it's making my timesheeting way easier.

Not much to say here. Maybe a few improvement could be made on the design of the calendar elements.

Float is a good tool to manage your work schedule, making it seamless.

Helps me in knowing the long term and short term plannings

No notifications when there is a change, not sure if it is switched off in my company

It helps me know the projects I would work in the future
