The Apilio jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Who still has access
Today
Staff come and go, and old logins linger. Checking who can still get into which system is a job nobody wants.
With Flann
“Does Ana still have an account in Apilio? She left last month.”
Flann looks up Ana in Apilio and tells you exactly what access she still has. Want it removed?
What you stop doing: Closing the door behind people who left no longer depends on memory.
Fridge and sensor check-ins
Today
Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into Apilio, but nobody looks unless something has already spoiled.
With Flann
“Are the fridges and freezers all at the right temperature?”
Flann reads the latest readings from Apilio and tells you whether anything sits outside its normal range. A unit that has been drifting is named, with how long it has been drifting.
What you stop doing: Walking round checking displays just to feel sure is no longer needed.
