Where Flann saves you time in Amazing Marvin
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Amazing Marvin is connected.
Nudging the team about late jobs
Today
Some tasks in Amazing Marvin have sat past their due date for days. Messaging each person to ask how it is going feels like nagging, so you put it off.
With Flann
“Chase whoever has overdue jobs in Amazing Marvin, nicely.”
Overdue tasks in Amazing Marvin are grouped by person, and a friendly nudge is drafted for each one, naming the job and asking for a new date if they need it.
What you stop doing: Writing the awkward chaser to each person is no longer yours to do.
Getting billable time ready to invoice
Today
Agency and consultancy work depends on billing the time you tracked. Pulling each client’s billable entries out of Amazing Marvin and checking them against the project is slow, so invoices go out late.
With Flann
“How much billable time for Harbour Studio is in Amazing Marvin and not invoiced yet?”
Every billable entry for that client is pulled from Amazing Marvin, grouped by project and person, with anything missing a description marked. You get a summary ready to turn into an invoice.
What you stop doing: Combing through time entries before every invoice is no longer needed.
