Where Flann saves you time in FeedBear
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once FeedBear is connected.
Turning a voice note into tasks
Today
Ideas and jobs come to you while driving or walking the floor. By the time you are at a screen to put them into FeedBear, some have gone.
With Flann
“Put everything from this voice note into FeedBear as tasks for this week.”
Flann transcribes the voice note, splits it into separate jobs, gives each a clear title and suggests a due date and an owner from your team in FeedBear. You see the list as one card.
What you stop doing: Remembering jobs until you get to a screen is no longer required.
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 FeedBear and checking them against the project is slow, so invoices go out late.
With Flann
“How much billable time for Harbour Studio is in FeedBear and not invoiced yet?”
Every billable entry for that client is pulled from FeedBear, 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.
