Repetitive Lokalise 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.

Totalling timesheets at the end of the week

Today

Before payroll you export timesheets from Lokalise, total them per person and look for anyone who forgot to clock out. It is the dullest job on a Friday.

With Flann

“Total this week’s hours by person from Lokalise and flag anything odd.”

Pulling the week’s entries from Lokalise, Flann totals them per person and flags timers left running overnight, missing days and duplicate entries. You get a short summary you can forward to whoever does payroll.

What you stop doing: Spreadsheet totals and hunting for forgotten timers are no longer your Friday.

Starting a new client project from the template

Today

Each new client or job means copying your template project in Lokalise, renaming it, adjusting dates and assigning people. Small mistakes slip in, like the last client’s name in a task.

With Flann

“New job for Clarke Dental, starts on the first. Set it up from our fit-out template in Lokalise.”

A copy of your template in Lokalise is renamed, dated from the start you gave and assigned to the usual people for each stage. Anything that still mentions the previous client is flagged.

What you stop doing: Copying and adjusting the template by hand for each new job is no longer on your desk.
