In short

How do I find slow-moving inventory automatically before it ties up cash?

WebRun finds items in Epicor Eclipse with no sales in the last 90 days every Monday, checks the inventory valuation in QuickBooks to see how much cash is tied up in each, and posts your purchasing team and branch managers a ranked Slack report. It only reports and flags return-eligible items, any actual return or markdown stays a human decision.

  • Cash tied up in dead stock surfaces weekly instead of once a year at physical inventory
  • Purchasing gets a ranked list by dollars tied up instead of a raw item count
  • Vendor-return-eligible items are flagged before the return window closes

Questions, answered

Does it return or write off inventory on its own?

No. WebRun only reports which items are slow-moving and flags ones eligible for a vendor return. Any return, markdown, or write-off is still a decision your purchasing team makes.

How does it define slow-moving?

It flags items with no recorded sale in the last 90 days, excluding anything held for an active job commitment or special order.

How is the report ranked?

It's ranked by dollars tied up, using the inventory valuation from QuickBooks, so the items costing you the most cash sit at the top.
