The Scrapfly jobs you can stop doing yourself
You stay in charge of what goes out. Flann does the reading, the drafting and the chasing.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into Scrapfly, set the date range, compare it with the week before and try to remember what normal looks like. By the time the picture is clear, the week has started without you.
With Flann
“How are we doing? Last week against the week before, from Scrapfly.”
Flann pulls the main figures from Scrapfly, sets them against the previous week and sends a report card in the chat with the few changes worth your attention. Ask a follow-up and it digs into the detail.
What you stop doing: Setting date ranges and comparing columns by eye every Monday is finished.
Cleaning up duplicate records
Today
The same customer appears in Scrapfly three times with slightly different spellings. Reports count them separately, and nobody gets round to merging them.
With Flann
“Find duplicate customers in Scrapfly and show me what you’d merge.”
Records in Scrapfly that share a phone number, an email or a close spelling are grouped as likely duplicates.
What you stop doing: Merging duplicate records one by one is no longer on you.
