The RedCircle API jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Is the website up right now
Today
A customer says the site will not load. You open RedCircle API, cannot find the right screen and end up texting your developer to ask.
With Flann
“Is the website down? A customer says checkout isn’t loading.”
Flann checks the status in RedCircle API and tells you whether the site and checkout are responding, and if not, since when. A problem is described plainly, with a suggestion of who to tell. Looking it up changes nothing, so the answer is immediate.
What you stop doing: Finding out whether there is a problem no longer needs your developer.
Fridge and sensor check-ins
Today
Fridges, sensors and connected equipment report into RedCircle API, but nobody looks unless something has already spoiled.
With Flann
“Are the fridges and freezers all at the right temperature?”
Flann reads the latest readings from RedCircle API and tells you whether anything sits outside its normal range. A unit that has been drifting is named, with how long it has been drifting.
What you stop doing: Walking round checking displays just to feel sure is no longer needed.
