Where Flann saves you time in Stackby
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Stackby is connected.
Reading the long contract for you
Today
Supplier agreements and leases run to pages of dense clauses. You skim them late at night, or sign without properly reading the renewal terms.
With Flann
“What does the new linen supplier contract in Stackby say about notice and price rises?”
Every page of the contract in Stackby gets read, not just the first few. You get the notice period, the renewal date, any automatic price rise and anything unusual, each with the clause it comes from.
What you stop doing: Skimming clauses late at night before you sign is over.
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 Stackby and never quite finish.
With Flann
“Tidy this month’s uploads in Stackby into the right client folders.”
Each new file in Stackby 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.
