Where Flann saves you time in Bannerbear
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Bannerbear is connected.
Cleaning up product photos
Today
New stock arrives and every product needs a clean photo for the online shop. Cutting out backgrounds one by one in Bannerbear swallows an evening.
With Flann
“Here are today’s photos of the new candles. Clean white backgrounds in Bannerbear, please.”
Every photo goes through Bannerbear, losing its background and gaining a centred product sized to match the rest of your shop. You see them side by side with the originals.
What you stop doing: Cutting out backgrounds by hand, photo after photo, is finished.
Transcribing the training session
Today
You record a staff training walkthrough so new starters can catch up later. Nobody watches a long recording, and typing it up yourself never happens.
With Flann
“Transcribe Tuesday’s training recording in Bannerbear and turn it into a short guide for new starters.”
First the recording goes through Bannerbear, then the transcript is shaped into a short guide with steps, warnings and who to ask. The full transcript stays alongside it in case you need the exact words.
What you stop doing: Hoping staff sit through long recordings is no longer the plan.
