“Why should I switch from spreadsheets to resource management software?” Two key reasons: boosting efficiency and increasing project profitability 💰 Just ask Martin Mattli, Head of Operations and Quality Management at the full-service software agency Apps with love - digital tools for life. Frustrated with the inefficiencies of juggling time tracking and scheduling across spreadsheets, Martin took the lead in finding a better way. He championed the switch to Float, bringing project schedules and time logging into one central tool. The results? → Fewer mistakes, thanks to automated time tracking → Hours saved from manual updates and fixes → A clear view of short- and long-term priorities → A smoother workflow that helped his team focus and thrive And the payoff was big: Martin’s team logged 33% more hours—not by working more, but by getting visibility into key data in Float.

With visibility into capacity, skills, workload, and rates, teams make smarter, more profitable resourcing decisions from the start. We’re purpose-built for resource management—no bloat, no workarounds. While others focus on what’s being delivered, we focus on who’s delivering it. Because matching the best-fit people to the right work is your organization’s superpower. Internally, we work with the same intent. We’re a fully remote, asynchronous-first, high-talent-density team, and we hire on merit, not location.

Scaling a team is exciting. But keeping track of who’s available, on leave, or working part-time? That’s the hard part 😥 Instrument knew the pain firsthand. As their team grew, tracking capacity meant relying on multiple systems and manually updating spreadsheets. With Float’s API, they connected their HR tool to automatically sync time off, holidays, and work hours all in one place. Now, they have a live and holistic view of availability across the company. That means faster, smarter resourcing decisions with Float—avoiding overallocation and keeping work on track.
