Frequently-Asked Questions

The big picture

Fintrano makes your customer communication effortlessly professional. When you add a job to Fintrano:

  1. An immediate confirmation is sent to the customer
  2. The day before the job, an automatic reminder is sent to the customer by text and email
  3. When you are on your way, you press a button in the app and your customer receives your live location (think Uber / Deliveroo / DHL / Amazon)

No more confusion from your customer about what was agreed, and no more wasted trips for you because your customer forgot the appointment.

Yes, every subscription includes two weeks access completely free of charge. If you don't like it, you are free to cancel anytime.

But we think it will save you so much time, and generate so much customer goodwill, that after those two free weeks you'll be happy to pay!

That's one way to look at it, yes. Fintrano holds information on all of your customers, and the jobs you do for them. You can easily search for a customer, and see the history of the jobs you have done for them.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems typically do a bit more than that; handling enquiries, marketing, estimates and quotes. The more they do, the harder they are to learn. So we are keeping things deliberately lightweight and focusing on the benefit to your customers of clear, professional communication.

Think of Fintrano as a baby CRM, if you like!

Our number one focus is on ease-of-use. We want this to be simple - effortless even - to use. The more features we add, the greater the risk that the system becomes hard to work with.

So while it is absolutely possible to give Fintrano more features, they would need to be universally desirable before we would add them.

The specifics

At the starter level - Fintrano Grow - it costs just 80p per job. You will be charged for a minimum of 25 jobs (£20) each month, but each additional job costs just 80p.

For larger companies, our Fintrano Pro subscription costs just 60p per job, but you will be charged for a minimum of 200 jobs (£120) per month.

In each case, you are charged at the end of the month for your usage. VAT will be added to the cost.

Absolutely. We have top-of-the-range encryption securing your data while it is in transit, and at rest. That means that even if somebody was to physically hack our system, they would not be able to access the data.

That's no problem at all. A single job can be scheduled and rescheduled up to three times - after that it counts as a new job from a billing perspective.

Yes indeed. You can access the system on a PC/laptop via a web system, perfect for office-based administrators, as well as a mobile app, which is aimed at workers.

Almost everything can be done on both systems - the only thing that requires the app is the "I'm on my way" live tracking, which uses the smartphone's GPS.

So you can just pick the one which works best for you!

For workers

You are only tracked when you press the 'I'm on my way' button in the app. Once you are at your destination, it stops tracking you.

Glad to hear it! Fintrano is not about keeping tabs on workers. It is about delighting the people you are on your way to, giving them confidence about who is coming and when they will arrive.

It's the difference between dealing with a frustrated customer who didn't know who to expect, and a happy customer who knew exactly who was coming, and when you were on your way.

While you are on your way, the app will use a bit more battery, as it records your location every time you move 500m. Over the course of a day, depending on how much time you spend 'on your way', you might find it goes down 10-20% more than usual. Since these are the times you will probably be in a vehicle, that makes it easy to keep your phone topped up.

No. We send tiny packets of information, so you should hardly notice the data usage.

The tech

Yes.

It works perfectly on them too.

I'm sorry, 2008 just called; it wants its technology back.

Depending on the number of people you are tracking, you might want a nice big monitor, but Fintrano will work on any computer with an internet connection.
