Float in a digital agency

easy to use, easy to understand, customer journey is really good, lots of functions, easy and good design, intuitive, good service, scheduling is easy and viewable
What do you dislike about the product?
you can tag a project as billable but you cant tag single tasks as billable or not. i would like to have the opportunity to tag every single tasks as billable or not. also, if you have small tasks with 1h or 2h for all of your people, you really have to spend a lot of time to maintenance.

long term planning is really good with float and you can also use great report functions. iits a very easy way for everyone to see how people are scheduled
Decent time tracking software

What do you dislike about the product?
- Percent of time budget used is not obvious from the Log Time screen

Good Ressource Planning Tool

Helped to automate our scheduling for the team
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is really easy to use and onboard the team onto. It's very clear, searchable and the reporting features suit what we need.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the moment it doesn't allow you to schedule pockets of work not yet confirmed, acting as a placeholder (if it goes over a person's total hours in a day) - you need to use a separate track (paid license) to do that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes schedule documents quicker being able to block out and drag and drop tasks
Very useful product for our team
What do you like best about the product?
Since we started using Float we don't have to care about out allocation on each project, in our team we have many projects and sometimes it was very difficult to inform each time every person it the team that today his assignment has changed, but Float makes this process much easier

Actually, I don't see any big disadvantages in this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projects allocation, since we have many employees who works on several projects.
