Automated Depot Stock Count
Every morning, WebRun opens MRI Intermodal Software, reads current depot stock, tallies containers, tanks, and chassis by type, size, and status, appends the day's count to a Google Sheet, and posts the team a Slack snapshot with the day-over-day movement.
How do I compile a daily depot stock count automatically?
WebRun opens MRI Intermodal Software every morning, tallies every container, tank, and chassis by type, size, and status, and appends the count to a Google Sheet with the change since yesterday. It then posts your team a Slack snapshot of the yard, flagging any category that moved more than usual, so the whole depot starts the day on one number.
- The whole team starts on one agreed yard number every morning
- Day-over-day movement is calculated automatically, no manual counting
- Unusual swings in repair or hold status surface the moment they happen
Built for container depots · depot managers · equipment control teams · yard supervisors

Questions, answered
Does it change anything in MRI Intermodal Software?
No. WebRun only reads the depot stock control view. It never moves a unit, changes a status, or edits inventory. It records a read-only count and posts a snapshot for your team.
Is the Slack snapshot posted automatically?
Yes. The snapshot and the sheet are internal only, so WebRun posts them on its own each morning. Because nothing leaves your team, there is no external message to approve.
Can it break the count down the way our yard is organized?
Yes. It tallies by whatever categories, sizes, and statuses your MRI Intermodal Software stock view uses, and you can tell it which breakdowns matter most in your run settings.
