Where Flann saves you time in Bright Data
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Bright Data is connected.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into Bright Data, 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 Bright Data.”
Flann pulls the main figures from Bright Data, 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.
Finding what earns and what does not
Today
Instinct tells you which products or services carry the business, but checking means exporting from Bright Data and sorting a spreadsheet.
With Flann
“Rank our services by revenue for the quarter from Bright Data. What’s slipping?”
Every product or service in Bright Data is ranked by revenue and by volume, and Flann points out the ones slipping compared with last quarter. You get the top and the bottom of the list, not the whole thing.
What you stop doing: Exporting and sorting spreadsheets to test a hunch is over.
