Where Flann saves you time in Crowdin
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Crowdin is connected.
Overnight problems, summarised
Today
Errors build up overnight. Nobody reads the logs until something breaks in front of a customer.
With Flann
“Anything go wrong overnight on our systems?”
Flann reads the overnight errors and incidents in Crowdin, groups the repeats and ranks what is left by how much it affects customers. You get the few things worth knowing. Nothing is changed; this is a report.
What you stop doing: No more scrolling through logs you were never meant to read.
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 Crowdin: 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.
