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.

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.

Float, an essential tool that powers our team scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
We use Float to schedule tasks across our team, ranging from tasks that take a few hours to complete, to projects that take multiple days or weeks. It gives us the ability to see who is available for scheduling, and allocate (or reschedule) work coming in.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have duplication between Float and our team's Google calendars, but at different levels of granularity, so we can't automate synchronisation. We haven't been able to resolve that, so team members still need to book the work in their calendars as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Float has become essential to our scheduling and traffic, and is the go to place to check our capacity for planning new projects. For our scheduling, it is in constant use to keep track of and allocate work across a diverse team.
Useful software to track time
What do you like best about the product?
The design is easy on the eye and intuitive.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can feel a little clunky at times and buggy. For the most part it is ok, but some of the processes could be easier and more flexible in how a user can interact with them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to better track our time against projects to make sure we are charging appropriately.
What is Float?
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to navigate & learn to use right from the start.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have heard it can be difficult to edit from a managerial point of view.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Float as a daily task management tool, so it is easy to see who on what team has what type of work booked for a certain day/week
Recommendations to others considering the product:
give it a try; definitely worth testing out
Mark Kerrs Review
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product 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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Color Coordinate your users
Great product to keep tracking of your team's taks
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is the easy navigation and display of the information. The whole team knows at a glance what other team members are all the time and that's really useful when you have to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the font size feels a bit small. Also, it would be cool to have integration with other apps like Slack or Google Docks in order to share some notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The whole team knows what other team members are all the time
Overall a Good, Helpful Product
What do you like best about the product?
Float is quick and easy to use. It takes no time at all to create a new project, add resources and allocate the resources time on the project. It's also easy for our team members to login and see their allocation for the coming weeks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a way to zoom in. The blocks are sometimes difficult to see. I've tried only selecting one person but that doesn't change the size or give me the ability to adjust the zoom.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Float for a resource allocation overview. We don't get into the day to day details. We use it to show a projects length, who is assigned to the project and how many hours a day they should be spending on this project to forecast whether they should be assigned to any new projects coming in.
Love the Calendar View
What do you like best about the product?
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 the product?
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 the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Float as our traffic management software.
Very good for creative teams
What do you like best about the product?
Float helps to organize the demands to our team of designers and copywriters. By showing all the resources and tasks in a calendar, all at once, it's easy to understand that we have to prioritize things and decide if we need to hire freelancers or if some tasks can wait.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I strongly dislike about Float. I just wish it was more affordable to small startups.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Like I said, sometimes the account or finances team don't understand how much time it takes to create and produce a material, but Float makes it visible and easy to negotiate and understand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're in trouble to organize team's demands or if you're part of a team flooded with tasks without priority, this is the tool for you.
