Repetitive Gigasheet work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Pulling up the file a customer needs
Today
A customer asks for last year’s warranty certificate and you are scrolling folders in Gigasheet on a small screen. Too many files are called scan, final or copy of final.
With Flann
“Find the warranty certificate for the Patel kitchen job in Gigasheet”
Flann searches Gigasheet by name, date and the text inside each document, not just the file titles. The match arrives in the chat with a note of where it is filed.
What you stop doing: No more digging through badly named folders while a customer waits.
Filling in the same template again
Today
Quotes, welcome letters and job sheets all start from the same template in Gigasheet. You copy it, rename it and retype the details every time, and an old customer’s name sometimes slips through.
With Flann
“Make a welcome pack for Sarah Okafor from the new member template in Gigasheet.”
A fresh copy of your template in Gigasheet is filled with the name, start date and membership details you gave, and checked for anything left over from the last person. You see the finished document before it is saved.
What you stop doing: Retyping a customer’s details into a copied template is a thing of the past.
