What Ask Paddy can do for you

Ask Paddy can set up routines, book visits, draft paperwork, chase your team and build an audit pack. Here is what to ask for.

Set up rules that prompt staff and create tasks automatically based on real conditions like the weather and forecast.

Staff did not get the task or notification

Switching Modules On and Off

Choose which parts of Paddl your business uses under Settings > Modules, and what happens to the pages, alerts and Ask Paddy when one is off.

Send staff a task when the forecast matches
