Ask whether the site is up, why an alert fired or what changed this week, and you get a plain answer drawn straight from Felt.

Where Flann saves you time in Felt
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Felt is connected.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open Felt, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.
With Flann
“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”
Flann checks the status in Felt and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.
What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.
Passing a fault to the right person
Today
When something breaks, you forward a screenshot to your developer with a vague description. They then ask the questions you could not answer.
With Flann
“Send Dan the details of this error so he can look at it.”
Flann gathers what Dan will need from Felt: when the error started, how often it happens and which part of the system is affected. It drafts a clear message to him with those facts.
What you stop doing: Your role as messenger between customers and developer comes to an end.
