The Pneumatic jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Making weekly checklists repeat
Today
Opening checks, cleaning rotas and Friday stock counts get recreated by hand in Pneumatic each week. When you are busy, the list simply does not appear, and neither does the cleaning.
With Flann
“Make the closing checklist a repeating task in Pneumatic, weekdays, assigned to Jordan.”
Each step of the checklist becomes a sub-task in Pneumatic, set to repeat on weekdays.
What you stop doing: Recreating the same checklist every week is not something you do any more.
Starting a new client project from the template
Today
Each new client or job means copying your template project in Pneumatic, 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 Pneumatic.”
A copy of your template in Pneumatic 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.
