Repetitive Hex 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.
Looking up a record mid-conversation
Today
A customer on the phone asks when their membership renews or what they ordered last time. Finding the record in Hex means a laptop, a login and a search screen.
With Flann
“When does Priya Shah’s membership renew? Check Hex.”
Within the chat, Flann searches Hex for the record and replies with the renewal date, plan and last visit. If two records match, it asks which one you mean. Looking up changes nothing, so it happens straight away.
What you stop doing: Opening a laptop to answer a simple customer question is unnecessary now.
Building the monthly report
Today
Your accountant, partner or investor wants a monthly summary. You copy figures out of Hex into a document and format them, and it is always later than you promised.
With Flann
“Draft the monthly summary for my business partner from Hex.”
The month’s key figures come out of Hex, set against the previous month and the same month last year, with a short sentence on each change. You read the draft in the chat and ask for edits.
What you stop doing: Copying figures into a document every month is no longer your job.
