A supplier calls, a customer queries a bill, a payment looks wrong. With Chaser connected, you message Flann and get the figure from the real record, not from memory.
30 actions in Chaser. 13 only look things up, and 17 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

The Chaser jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Friday round of overdue reminders
Today
Every Friday you open Chaser, filter the overdue invoices and write a chaser to each customer by hand. The tone drifts with your mood.
With Flann
“Who is overdue in Chaser? Draft reminders, firmer for anyone more than a month late.”
Flann pulls the overdue list from Chaser, sorts it by age and drafts a reminder for each customer, gentle for recent ones and firmer for the long-standing ones. One card per customer.
What you stop doing: You stop writing the same awkward chaser every week.
Matching payments to invoices
Today
Bank lines arrive in Chaser with vague references, and you match them against open invoices one at a time. A single partial payment can unravel the whole session.
With Flann
“Match this week’s bank payments to invoices in Chaser and flag anything that does not fit.”
Using amounts, names and references, Flann pairs each incoming payment in Chaser with the invoice it most likely settles. Partial payments and strays go on a separate list.
What you stop doing: No more scrolling bank lines hunting for the invoice they belong to.
