Resource scheduling and capacity planning for teams

www.float.com ↗

Float adds default access roles as it builds on rate cards and AI staffing profiles.

resource-managementschedulingpermissionsrate-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. The October 20 access roles release gives accounts a default permission structure that can be customized. Earlier October work polished role display, calendar event statuses and allocation entry.
◆Where it's heading
With rates, roles and experience data now in the product, Float needs finer control over who can see and edit them, and access roles are that layer. The scheduler itself gets steady polish rather than new direction.
◆Prediction
Expect access roles to be tied to rate and budget visibility, and more API coverage for the new role structure. The October entry has little detail, so scope is unclear.

    Calendar event statuses, adding allocations, and project update improvements

    Calendar event statuses, changes to adding allocations and project update improvements tighten the core scheduler. The changelog gives only the headline, so the scope looks incremental.

    Project and phase roles display enhancements

    Project and phase roles get clearer display, which supports Float's push to make roles the unit that rates and staffing hang on. The changelog gives no detail beyond the headline, so the change looks incremental.

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

    A review-site ranking announcement with no product change. It has no bearing on Float's trajectory.

    Rates tab, Zapier project templates, and people code

    A dedicated Rates tab, Zapier project templates and people codes make the rate-card system easier to operate day to day. This is follow-through on July's multi-currency launch.

    Experience profiles mark Float's step from availability scheduling into staffing judgment. They are the intelligence layer on top of the roles and rates data it has been building.
