Where Flann saves you time in Scrapingbee
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Scrapingbee is connected.
Building the monthly report
Today
Your accountant, partner or investor wants a monthly summary. You copy figures out of Scrapingbee into a document and format them, and it is always later than you promised.
With Flann
“Draft the monthly summary for my business partner from Scrapingbee.”
The month’s key figures come out of Scrapingbee, set against the previous month and the same month last year, with a short sentence on each change. You read the draft in the chat and ask for edits.
What you stop doing: Copying figures into a document every month is no longer your job.
Finding what earns and what does not
Today
Instinct tells you which products or services carry the business, but checking means exporting from Scrapingbee and sorting a spreadsheet.
With Flann
“Rank our services by revenue for the quarter from Scrapingbee. What’s slipping?”
Every product or service in Scrapingbee is ranked by revenue and by volume, and Flann points out the ones slipping compared with last quarter. You get the top and the bottom of the list, not the whole thing.
What you stop doing: Exporting and sorting spreadsheets to test a hunch is over.
