Repetitive Manus 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.
Answering “where are we with my job?”
Today
Clients ask for updates at awkward moments. To answer, you open Manus, find their project and piece together what has happened since you last spoke.
With Flann
“Where are we on the Morgan bathroom refit in Manus? Draft an update for the client.”
In Manus, Flann reads the project’s finished, current and waiting tasks and writes a plain-English update the client will understand, without internal notes or jargon. You see the draft in the chat.
What you stop doing: Piecing together a client update from the board yourself is over.
Starting a new client project from the template
Today
Each new client or job means copying your template project in Manus, 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 Manus.”
A copy of your template in Manus 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.
