Where Flann saves you time in Splitwise

Matching payments to invoices
Today
Bank lines arrive in Splitwise with vague references, and you match them against open invoices one at a time. A single partial payment can unravel the whole session.
With Flann
“Match this week’s bank payments to invoices in Splitwise and flag anything that does not fit.”
Using amounts, names and references, Flann pairs each incoming payment in Splitwise with the invoice it most likely settles. Partial payments and strays go on a separate list.
What you stop doing: No more scrolling bank lines hunting for the invoice they belong to.
Invoice the job on the way out
Today
You finish a job, head to the next one and promise yourself the invoice will go out tonight. Often it does not.
With Flann
“Invoice Hassan for the kitchen fit, materials plus labour, usual terms.”
Within Splitwise, Flann finds Hassan, builds the invoice from the lines you described and applies your standard payment terms. It stays a draft for now.
What you stop doing: Unbilled work stops living in your head.
