Making it right with a discount

“Give Priya a discount on her next order, her delivery was late”
For Priya, Flann prepares a single-use discount code in Countdown API and drafts an apology that includes it. You set the amount or accept its suggestion.
What you stop doing: Turning a complaint into a goodwill gesture takes a message, not a session in the admin.
Getting today's packing list
Today
Each morning someone opens every unfulfilled order in Countdown API to work out what to pick from the shelves. Small orders, many clicks.
With Flann
“Packing list for today please”
Adding up the items across every unfulfilled order in Countdown API, Flann sends you one pick list sorted by product rather than order by order. It changes nothing.
What you stop doing: Opening orders one at a time to build a pick list is finished.
