Float Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What type of companies typically use Float?
Float is built for operations and delivery leaders in professional services or in-house delivery teams. Our customers range from mid-market agencies in advertising, consulting, and design, to larger in-house teams at big brands you know and love. Float is not designed for shift work, rostering, inventory management, or individual freelancers.
Q: How quickly can we start seeing value?
Within the first few weeks. Once your people and projects are in Float, you get a picture of how work is happening across your team: who has capacity, which projects are on track, and whether you can realistically take on new work. For most teams, that’s information they were previously stitching together from spreadsheets and ad hoc conversations.
Q: Can Float replace spreadsheets for resource planning?
Yes. Many teams come to Float still managing resourcing in spreadsheets. Spreadsheets can work for a while, but they show you data in isolation. They can’t tell you how a staffing change on one project affects availability across others. Float connects your people and project data so you can see downstream effects without having to manually piece things together.
Q: Do we need to track time to use Float?
No. Time tracking is optional on Pro and Enterprise plans. You can use Float purely for scheduling and capacity planning. If you do enable it, time logs come pre-filled with scheduled work, which makes logging time less of a chore. It also lets you compare estimated vs. planned vs. actual hours while a project is still in progress, to see how you're tracking in the moment rather than finding out at the end.
Q: How does Float help with capacity and utilization planning?
Float gives you a live view of who’s available, who’s overloaded, and what’s coming up. It accounts for work hours, holidays, and time off automatically, so you don’t have to cross-reference multiple sources to figure out whether someone has capacity. It makes it easier to plan ahead and spot workload imbalances before they become a problem.
Q: Can we manage multiple teams or locations in Float?
Yes. You can set up separate teams for different offices or business units, or use tags to differentiate locations within a single account.
Q: How long does it take to get set up with Float?
Like all tools, it depends on your size and complexity; however, most teams find they’re able to get up and running within weeks. Plus, Float is made to work with the tools you already have, so there’s no big migration or implementation project. Import your team, connect your existing tools, and start scheduling.
Q: Do we need a dedicated admin to manage Float?
No. Most teams find that resource managers and project leads can handle the day-to-day without any special technical knowledge. Float is straightforward to use once it's set up, and most teams don't need a dedicated person to keep things running, although they might delegate scheduling to a centralized group of people.
Q: What data does Float store and how is it handled?
Float stores user, team, and project-related data required for resource management, including names, emails, photos, and project financial details. We're GDPR and SOC 2 compliant. You can read more at https://trust.float.com/

    "Minimum monthly cost of $150"

    3 out of 5 stars Edited 2022-09-07

    Pros: Does what you need for a scheduling/PM tool. It has strong visuals and a flexibility of what views to provide (if you can understand the methodology).

    Cons: Can be complicated and fiddly to get the view you need
    Not as cheap as it seems with a minimum cost of $150 if you go for the pay monthly option.
    This was not made clear (as far as I can see) in the trial, which means we've wasted our time evaluating this tool because it was approved based on 10 users.

    Overall: Considering this is a competitive marketplace with a number of other tools doing a similar job, this is too expensive in my view. There should be an option for smaller teams.
