Resource scheduling and capacity planning for teams

www.float.com ↗

Float adds AI experience profiles and multi-currency rate cards — expanding from scheduling into project economics.

◆Current state
Float is a resource scheduling and time-tracking platform for agencies and professional services teams, shipping roughly every 2–3 weeks. The last 90 days show two substantive sparks: AI-powered experience profiles that surface who on the team has done similar work before, and multi-currency rate cards that bring consistent billing across clients and regions. Supporting releases added a dedicated Rates tab, Zapier project templates, people codes, and new API endpoints for project templates and rate cards.
◆Where it's heading
Float is building the financial layer of resource management — rate cards, multi-currency support, and a Rates tab form a coherent billing workflow that didn't exist six months ago. In parallel, AI experience profiles signal entry into talent-matching territory: the product can now answer 'who has done this type of work before' rather than just 'who is available.' These two vectors together position Float as a project economics tool, not just a scheduling view. The API expansion follows the financial features, suggesting partner and integration investment.
◆Prediction
The most likely next move is connecting AI experience profiles directly into project assignment — auto-suggesting matches during scheduling based on past work. On the billing side, rate card data likely feeds a revenue or margin reporting view as the next logical release.

    Float is the #1 resource management software, 8 seasons running

    Marketing announcement: Float claims the #1 resource management software ranking for the 8th consecutive 'season' (G2 or similar). No product changes. Brand positioning content that ships alongside the AI and financial features that earned the ranking.

    Rates tab, Zapier project templates, and people code

    Bundles three product updates: a dedicated Rates tab (centralizing rate management in the UI), Zapier project templates (so automations can pre-populate project structures), and people codes (structured identifiers for team members). Together these fill in the operational infrastructure for the rate card and billing features.

    Smart insights: know who’s done this work before, with AI experience profiles

    ⚡ SPARK

    Float's AI experience profiles give managers a direct answer to 'who on the team has done this kind of work before' — surfacing relevant past projects alongside each person in the scheduling view. This shifts Float from pure availability-based scheduling into skills-and-history-aware matching, a directional move toward AI-assisted resource decisions.

    New API endpoints: project templates and rate cards, and Zapier project updates

    Adds API endpoints for project templates and rate cards, expanding the programmable surface to match the features released in July. Zapier gets a corresponding update for project-level automations. Follows the standard Float pattern of shipping UI features first, then opening the API.

    Rate cards and multi-currency: consistent billing across every client and region

    ⚡ SPARK

    Rate cards and multi-currency support land together, enabling teams to bill different clients at different rates across different currencies from a single workspace. This is Float's first coherent answer to project-level billing — closing a significant gap against project management tools like Harvest or Teamwork Money.

    A new look: updates to the sidebar navigation

    Sidebar navigation redesign — structural UI change that reorganizes how users move between Float's views. Ships in the same week as rate cards, likely to accommodate the expanding feature surface. No new functionality.
