Manage Simplekpi group items and users from WhatsApp
Flann connects Simplekpi to the WhatsApp chat you already run your business from. You ask, and Flann picks the right Simplekpi action. Numbers only help when you look at them, and dashboards are easy to ignore. Ask Flann “How are we doing?” and it reads Simplekpi and sends back a report card in the chat: what went up, what went down, what deserves a closer look.
51 actions in Simplekpi. 24 only look things up, and 27 create, update, send or delete. You connect with your API key.

Checking today against a normal day
Today
Midway through a quiet afternoon you wonder whether it is just today or the whole week. Opening Simplekpi on your phone to check means pinching and zooming through charts.
With Flann
“Is today slower than a normal Tuesday? Check Simplekpi.”
Today so far in Simplekpi 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.
Finding what earns and what does not
Today
Instinct tells you which products or services carry the business, but checking means exporting from Simplekpi and sorting a spreadsheet.
With Flann
“Rank our services by revenue for the quarter from Simplekpi. What’s slipping?”
Every product or service in Simplekpi 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.
