Where Flann saves you time in Cloudsmith

Security warnings explained
Today
Late at night, a suspicious sign-in report lands in your inbox. Without context you cannot tell a real threat from a member of staff on holiday.
With Flann
“Got a suspicious sign-in warning. Is it real?”
Flann checks the sign-in details in Cloudsmith: where it came from, which account, and whether that person has signed in from there before. It gives you its reading and the reasons behind it.
What you stop doing: Warnings you could not interpret stop costing you sleep.
Fridge and sensor check-ins
Today
Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into Cloudsmith, 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 Cloudsmith 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.
