Where Flann saves you time in Uploadcare
Small jobs, repeated often, are where the time goes. Here is how they change once Uploadcare is connected.
Logging the day’s takings
Today
At closing you are meant to add takings, card totals and petty cash to a spreadsheet in Uploadcare. Tired, you skip it, and the gaps show up at month end.
With Flann
“Here’s the till slip. Add today’s totals to the takings sheet in Uploadcare.”
Cash, card and refund totals are read off the slip and matched to the columns already in your takings sheet in Uploadcare.
What you stop doing: Typing up the till slip after a long shift is off your list.
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 Uploadcare and never quite finish.
With Flann
“Tidy this month’s uploads in Uploadcare into the right client folders.”
Each new file in Uploadcare 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.
