Facilitate Project Management with Detailed Reports
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Float organizes projects and facilitates staff time tracking, which has significantly alleviated essential work aspects for our implementation company. The reporting part is especially valuable, as it allows us to clearly see how many hours and costs are attributed to each person, something crucial for good resource management. Additionally, the setup process of Float was quite simple, which allowed us to start working effectively without complications. These elements have made me consider Float again in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
It might be useful to add a reminder to prompt people to log their hours.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Float to organize projects and manage people's workload, and I also find the reporting function on hours and costs very valuable.
Effective Time Tracking, Needs Easier Navigation
What do you like best about the product?
I find Float incredibly valuable for tracking how much time is spent on individual projects, which helps in understanding the actual versus perceived time intensity of projects. This feature is particularly handy in business cases where it allows me to analyze the time efficiency before and after new software is introduced. I appreciate being able to check my own hours and the automatic updates and integration with Salesforce and BambooHR. This connectivity means that less manual effort is required, as setting up new opportunities in Salesforce can quickly reflect in Float. The data-rich nature of Float enables me to have detailed insights into how much time has been spent on every project by every individual, providing a comprehensive view that is essential in my industry.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find Float's navigation to be somewhat challenging, especially when it comes to comparing between projects and understanding if the data is pertaining to me or other team members. Additionally, the process of tagging projects for time tracking purposes was cumbersome and not user-friendly, which led me to abandon that feature.

I use Float to log and track hours, which reveals how much time projects require, optimizing resource allocation. Its automatic updates and integration with Salesforce save me time.

Efficient Resource Scheduling, Minor Task Management Improvements Needed
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Float for allowing me to easily see what my colleagues are working on and communicate my availability at work, which significantly improves our team coordination. The resource scheduling feature is particularly crucial and beneficial, enabling me to see my team’s activities at a glance and efficiently plan resources accordingly. I find the setup process to be straightforward—using my company email for login and registration was seamless, which is certainly a plus. This efficiency in setup and login adds convenience, and the ability to manage and understand team tasks and schedules enhances our collaborative efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find task duplication across weeks challenging, which hampers the planning process. Additionally, the budgeting reports could be more intuitive, as the current layout makes them difficult to follow.

Float Keeps Our Agency Organised and Efficient with Seamless Scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
Float is an incredibly easy way to monitor the hours we are spending on each of our clients, as well as booking hours for upcoming projects and having a clear overview of availability / capacity. As an agency, we work on a cost-per-hour model and so having somewhere to book hours, organise capacity, and review client hours logged, is invaluable. We are also a growing agency, and Float really helps keep the workflow organised on a daily and monthly basis. We actually have a meeting every Monday, during which we go through Float and discuss each team member's priorities for the upcoming week, and are easily able to reassign hours to other team members with the simple drag and drop functionality. We are also able to use Float's API to automate the population of projects / hours per team member, making it much easier than other tools we have tried. I'm not quite sure how we managed before Float, now that it has been part of our daily lives for a number of years!
What do you dislike about the product?
There are three main things that I dislike about Float. Firstly, when reassigning hours to another member of the team, I will receive an error message approximately 5% of the time. It switches the hours back and you have to repeat the process. Secondly, when logging hours, there isn't a way to undo what you've logged. If you are still on the same screen, you can sometimes press ctrl+z to undo your previous action, but you can't have navigated away from the page you were on, else it can't be updated / un-logged. Finally, a lot of similar tools allow you to scroll left to right (and vice versa) by dragging the screen either left or right. Float doesn't have this functionality. Now this isn't a big issue, as there are other ways to scroll through the different weeks (the < > arrows at the top right of the page for example), but being able to drag your schedule left and right in order to view future / previous weeks would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float allows me to see what projects each of the team is working on, so that I know who to brief on which project and when. It also enables me to ensure that client hours are being delivered (by reviewing logged hours). We also used to spend countless hours scheduling projects for each upcoming month - now, the process is almost completely automated thanks to the Float API. We just update an internal spreadsheet we have containing information on client hours, and a script we've created plus the API does the heavy lifting for us. Float is saving is SO much time and really helping ensure we are delivering value for our clients. It also means that we can spend the time we would otherwise have spent on scheduling, on our clients and developing our services.
