Where Flann saves you time in Browserless
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Browserless is connected.
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 Browserless? She left last month.”
Flann looks up Ana in Browserless 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 Browserless, 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 Browserless 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.
