In short

How do I track and chase overdue supplier orders for upcoming window treatment installs?

WebRun checks Markate every morning for window treatment jobs with installs due in the next 7 days, identifies those with pending or overdue supplier orders, and posts a prioritised chase list to Slack. Full order details are also logged in Google Sheets so nothing falls through before install day.

  • Delayed installs caught days in advance rather than on the day
  • Ops team has a daily, ranked supplier chase list in Slack
  • Full order history tracked in Google Sheets with no manual data entry

Good to know

Questions, answered

Does it contact the supplier automatically?

No. WebRun posts an internal Slack list for your team to action. No supplier or customer is contacted without your involvement, keeping all external communication under your control.

How does it know which orders are overdue?

It reads the job notes and status fields in Markate for expected delivery dates and received confirmations. Jobs with upcoming installs and no received confirmation are flagged as at-risk.

What if the same job appears day after day?

It will continue to appear until Markate shows the product as received or the job is rescheduled, giving you a persistent reminder to follow up with the supplier.

Put this on autopilot.
