Automated Ekos Distributor Depletion Reports
Every Monday, WebRun opens Ekos, pulls each distributor's depletion volume, product sold through to retail, for the trailing 30 days, checks it against invoiced shipments in QuickBooks to separate real sell through from unsold stock sitting in a warehouse, logs the trend to a running Google Sheet, and posts a depletion report to Slack ranking distributors from strongest to weakest.
How do I know which distributors are actually selling through?
WebRun pulls each distributor's trailing 30 day depletion volume from Ekos every Monday, checks it against invoiced shipments in QuickBooks to spot unsold stock sitting in a warehouse, logs the trend to Google Sheets, and posts a ranked Slack report, so your sales team knows which distributors are truly selling through and which need a conversation.
- Underperforming distributors surface weekly instead of at the annual review
- Unsold stock sitting in a distributor warehouse gets flagged before it goes stale
- Depletion trend history builds automatically for every distributor conversation

Questions, answered
What is the difference between shipped volume and depletion?
Shipped volume is what you invoiced to the distributor in QuickBooks. Depletion is what the distributor actually sold through to retail in Ekos. A growing gap between the two means stock is sitting unsold in their warehouse.
Does it contact underperforming distributors directly?
No. It only posts an internal Slack report ranking distributors for your sales team. Reaching out to a distributor about slow depletion stays a decision your team makes.
How far back does the trend go?
Each report covers the trailing 30 days, and the Google Sheet keeps a rolling history so you can see whether a distributor's depletion is improving or sliding over time.
