Repetitive SeaTable work Flann takes off your plate
These are the jobs that come back every day or every week. Message Flann instead, and keep the decisions for yourself.
Checking today against a normal day
Today
Midway through a quiet afternoon you wonder whether it is just today or the whole week. Opening SeaTable on your phone to check means pinching and zooming through charts.
With Flann
“Is today slower than a normal Tuesday? Check SeaTable.”
Today so far in SeaTable is set against the same day over recent weeks, and you get one line on whether you are behind, level or ahead. If you are behind, Flann says where.
What you stop doing: Pinching and zooming through charts on a small screen stops.
Logging daily readings and counts
Today
Fridge temperatures, stock counts or class attendance have to go into SeaTable every day. They are written on paper first, then typed up when someone remembers.
With Flann
“Fridge one at three degrees, fridge two at four, freezer at minus eighteen. Log it in SeaTable.”
Your message or voice note becomes a row in SeaTable, with the date, time and who logged it, and any reading outside the safe range you have set is flagged to you straight away. Simple.
What you stop doing: Typing up paper logs at the end of the day is no longer needed.
