Pulling up the file a customer needs
Today
A customer asks for last year’s warranty certificate and you are scrolling folders in GoFile 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 GoFile”
Flann searches GoFile 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.
Reading the long contract for you
Today
Supplier agreements and leases run to pages of dense clauses. You skim them late at night, or sign without properly reading the renewal terms.
With Flann
“What does the new linen supplier contract in GoFile say about notice and price rises?”
Every page of the contract in GoFile gets read, not just the first few. You get the notice period, the renewal date, any automatic price rise and anything unusual, each with the clause it comes from.
What you stop doing: Skimming clauses late at night before you sign is over.
