Where Flann saves you time in Ideal Postcodes
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Ideal Postcodes is connected.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open Ideal Postcodes, 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 Ideal Postcodes 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.
Who still has access
Today
Staff come and go, and old logins linger. Checking who can still get into which system is a job nobody wants.
With Flann
“Does Ana still have an account in Ideal Postcodes? She left last month.”
Flann looks up Ana in Ideal Postcodes and tells you exactly what access she still has. Want it removed?
What you stop doing: Closing the door behind people who left no longer depends on memory.
