Automated Cable and Connector Reordering
Every Monday, WebRun reads the cable, reels, jacks, and connectors your active jobs require in Conest IntelliBid, compares them against the on-hand quantities in QuickBooks inventory, and drafts a reorder email to each distributor for the shortfall that waits in Gmail for you to approve before it goes out.

Questions, answered
Will it order material without me?
No. WebRun drafts each reorder email and leaves it unsent in Gmail. You confirm the quantities and distributor, then hit send, so nothing is ordered or committed on its own.
How does it know what an active job still needs?
It reads the required cable, reels, jacks, and connectors on your active job estimates in Conest IntelliBid and totals what is still to be installed across live jobs.
How does it decide when to reorder?
It subtracts your on-hand quantity in QuickBooks inventory from what jobs need, and drafts a reorder only for items that fall below the reorder point you set.
