The backstory
Float gives agencies and consultancies a visual schedule for assigning people to projects and tracking capacity against billable hours, a focused tool for a problem that used to live in messy spreadsheets. Broader project management platforms are increasingly adding AI-driven workload balancing and capacity forecasting as a built-in feature, reducing the need for a separate resourcing tool for teams already using an all-in-one system.
