The Postmark jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Comparing supplier quotes
Today
Quotes from suppliers arrive in different threads, formats and attachments in Postmark. Comparing them means opening each one and copying figures into a note.
With Flann
“Find the last quotes from our three packaging suppliers in Postmark and compare them.”
It searches Postmark, opens the quotes including PDF attachments and lays out price, minimum order and delivery terms side by side in the chat. No changes, just answers.
What you stop doing: Supplier comparisons stop needing a spreadsheet of their own.
Chasing replies you are owed
Today
You send a question to a supplier, a landlord or a client and then lose track of it in Postmark. Weeks later you realise nobody ever answered.
With Flann
“Which emails I sent from Postmark this month still have no reply?”
Scanning your sent mail in Postmark, Flann finds the threads where you were the last to write and the question still stands. It lists them with a one-line summary and drafts a polite nudge for each.
What you stop doing: Unanswered requests stop disappearing into the sent folder.
