Repetitive Bestbuy work Flann takes off your plate

Processing a refund request

A refund means checking the order, confirming what was paid, deciding the amount and then working through the refund screens in Bestbuy. It is fiddly every time.
With Flann
“Refund Tom for the broken mug, keep the shipping”
Locating Tom's order in Bestbuy, Flann works out the amount for the mug alone and prepares the refund alongside a short apology. You see the figure before anything moves.
What you stop doing: Clicking through refund screens for a single item stops eating into your day.
Knowing what to reorder

Comparing stock levels in Bestbuy with what has sold lately, Flann gives you a short reorder list with the best sellers at the top. That is a look-up.
