Where Flann saves you time in AnyDB
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once AnyDB is connected.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into AnyDB, set the date range, compare it with the week before and try to remember what normal looks like. By the time the picture is clear, the week has started without you.
With Flann
“How are we doing? Last week against the week before, from AnyDB.”
Flann pulls the main figures from AnyDB, sets them against the previous week and sends a report card in the chat with the few changes worth your attention. Ask a follow-up and it digs into the detail.
What you stop doing: Setting date ranges and comparing columns by eye every Monday is finished.
Seeing where visitors came from
Today
You put an offer out last week and want to know whether it brought people to the website. The answer is in AnyDB, several menus deep.
With Flann
“Where did website visitors come from this week, and how did the offer page do?”
Traffic sources and page visits are read from AnyDB and explained plainly: which channels sent people, how the offer page compared with your usual pages, and whether visitors booked or bought. No talk of sessions or bounce rates unless you ask. Nothing is changed.
What you stop doing: Clicking through analytics menus to judge an offer is behind you.
