Where Flann saves you time in Slite
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Slite is connected.
Filling in the same template again
Today
Quotes, welcome letters and job sheets all start from the same template in Slite. You copy it, rename it and retype the details every time, and an old customer’s name sometimes slips through.
With Flann
“Make a welcome pack for Sarah Okafor from the new member template in Slite.”
A fresh copy of your template in Slite is filled with the name, start date and membership details you gave, and checked for anything left over from the last person. You see the finished document before it is saved.
What you stop doing: Retyping a customer’s details into a copied template is a thing of the past.
Filing the stray uploads
Today
Scans, photos and attachments land wherever they happened to be saved. Once a month you try to sort the mess in Slite and never quite finish.
With Flann
“Tidy this month’s uploads in Slite into the right client folders.”
Each new file in Slite is matched to the client or supplier it belongs to, and the ones called scan or untitled get a proposed name that says what they are. The whole plan arrives as one card you can edit.
What you stop doing: Sorting stray uploads once a month falls away.
