Resource scheduling and capacity planning for teams

www.float.com ↗

Float is moving from who's-free scheduling toward staffing on experience and pricing on rate cards.

resource-managementschedulingai-matchingrate-cardsagencies
◆Current state
Float's 2026 releases add commercial and intelligence layers on top of its core scheduler: multi-currency rate cards, a Rates tab, and AI experience profiles that surface who has done similar work before. API and Zapier coverage for project templates and rate cards keeps those layers open to automation. The October releases are scheduler polish: clearer role display, then calendar event statuses, faster allocation entry and project update improvements.
◆Where it's heading
The product is reaching from resource availability into project economics and staffing judgment. Rates, roles and experience data are becoming first-class objects, while October's work tightens the daily scheduling loop that those layers sit on.
◆Prediction
Expect role- and rate-aware forecasting next, such as budget or margin projections tied to the roles assigned in a plan. The entries show the data model forming but not yet the forecasting output.
