The CompanyCam jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Making weekly checklists repeat
Today
Opening checks, cleaning rotas and Friday stock counts get recreated by hand in CompanyCam each week. When you are busy, the list simply does not appear, and neither does the cleaning.
With Flann
“Make the closing checklist a repeating task in CompanyCam, weekdays, assigned to Jordan.”
Each step of the checklist becomes a sub-task in CompanyCam, set to repeat on weekdays.
What you stop doing: Recreating the same checklist every week is not something you do any more.
Getting billable time ready to invoice
Today
Agency and consultancy work depends on billing the time you tracked. Pulling each client’s billable entries out of CompanyCam and checking them against the project is slow, so invoices go out late.
With Flann
“How much billable time for Harbour Studio is in CompanyCam and not invoiced yet?”
Every billable entry for that client is pulled from CompanyCam, grouped by project and person, with anything missing a description marked. You get a summary ready to turn into an invoice.
What you stop doing: Combing through time entries before every invoice is no longer needed.
