Where Flann saves you time in Missive
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Missive is connected.
The same question, answered well
Today
Many of your emails ask the same things: prices, availability, delivery areas, opening times. You type a slightly different answer every time in Missive.
With Flann
“Reply to the new enquiries in Missive using our price list and delivery areas.”
Same facts, every time.
What you stop doing: You no longer retype the price list into an email every day.
Passing emails to the right colleague
Today
Emails for the kitchen, the warehouse or the accountant all land with you in Missive. Forwarding each with a sensible note takes attention you do not have in the middle of a busy day.
With Flann
“Forward the catering enquiry in Missive to Mona with a note to quote by Thursday.”
Within the right thread in Missive, Flann prepares the forward to Mona with a short note that says what you need and by when.
What you stop doing: Forwarding stops being your job in the middle of the rush.
