It has transformed our creative deparment going from excel sheets sent around via email at the end of the week to everyone having an account and checking their workload for the day. It has also meant I can work closer with the finance department to forecast and see hours burnt.
Float completely transformed our creative department as it allowed me to be much more reactive with organising the workflow of the floor. Float gave me back so many hours to manage projects. It's very easy to use and a great way to see what projects are booked in with who. We have multiple projects and the colour coding tool for clients is a dream!
The only con I have found with Float is aligning the same projects tasks in one line. For instance Person A could have Project X with 1st development ending on tuesday and 1st comments on wednesday starting 2nd development, if they have another project, say project Y that could be in the same row as 1st development and 2nd development could be a line below making it a bit hard to follow.

Our company went from 1 to 5 people in the past year. We also have interns or students that are only here for a while. We now have a tool that allows us to follow up projects and team schedules in a very clear way without creating big overhead costs. It works fast and efficient for us.
Easy to use. We can view the schedule of the entire team in one screen and make instant changes if necessary.
When creating tasks, the difference between creating projects and clients can be annoying. Also: provide more colours! ;-)

Its a user friendly tool that makes resource management and managing a team of 40 with varying skillsets, availability, and calendars feasible.
It is not customizable, few api integrations that have worked, no development hope even when communicating with brand reps. You almost are forced to use it as is, off the shelf, or not at all.

Float has saved my life a time or two! Either by reminding me about an upcoming appointment I'd forgotten or even by lending me a few bucks for gas to get me through till pay day! Thanks Float!
Not a thing to complain about here THANK YOU FLOAT!

It's helped us grow a lot and help more people. It's really helped us spend less time doing admin work and more time doing real work and helping people. It takes some getting used to and commitment but it's beautifully designed, intuitive, and a big part of our success.
How easy it is to use. It's easy to jump in and also complicated enough that you can really use some advanced features.
There are of course small issues here and there but none worth mentioning at all. It's truly a great product and really helpful.
Thank you for your review, Adam! Excellent to hear that Float is saving you time on admin work so you can do more of what you do best!
