Where Flann saves you time in Smartproxy
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Smartproxy is connected.
Your weekly numbers on Monday morning
Today
Every Monday you log into Smartproxy, 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 Smartproxy.”
Flann pulls the main figures from Smartproxy, 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.
Keeping an eye on competitors
Today
Checking what nearby competitors charge means visiting several websites and writing it all down. So it happens once a year, if that.
With Flann
“Use Smartproxy to check what the gyms near us charge for a monthly membership.”
Using Smartproxy, Flann gathers the published membership prices from those gyms’ websites and lays them out next to yours in one short table. It notes the date it checked, since prices change. Nothing on your side changes, and nothing is sent anywhere.
What you stop doing: Visiting competitor websites one by one with a notepad is a thing of the past.
