Automated DairyComp Feed Reorder Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens DairyComp 305 to confirm the current milking herd count, checks your feed inventory log for corn silage, grain mix, and mineral against typical daily consumption, drafts a QuickBooks purchase order for anything projected to run out before next week's delivery, and posts a Slack alert for a manager to approve before it's sent to the supplier.
How do I keep feed inventory from running low without warning?
WebRun confirms your current milking herd count in DairyComp 305 every Monday, checks feed inventory levels against typical consumption for that headcount, and drafts a QuickBooks purchase order for anything projected to run out before next week's delivery. It posts the draft to Slack for a manager to approve, so no order reaches a supplier unapproved.
- Feed reorders are drafted before a bin runs out, not after
- The order quantity adjusts automatically when herd size changes
- No purchase order reaches a supplier without a manager's approval
Built for dairy farm owners · farm managers · feed and nutrition managers · farm bookkeepers

Questions, answered
Will WebRun place the feed order with the supplier on its own?
No. WebRun drafts the purchase order in QuickBooks and posts it to Slack for a manager to approve. No order reaches your supplier until a person reviews and approves it.
How does it estimate how much feed we'll use?
It multiplies typical daily consumption per cow by the current milking and dry cow count confirmed in DairyComp 305, so the projection adjusts automatically when your herd size changes.
What if a feed delivery is delayed?
Update the expected delivery date in the inventory log and WebRun's projection adjusts on the next run, flagging the shortfall earlier if the gap has grown.
