Point of Rental Seasonal Restock Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens Point of Rental, compares this year's booking pace and turn-down rate by equipment category against the same week last season, drafts a purchase request in QuickBooks for any category trending toward a shortage, and posts your fleet manager a Slack alert to review and approve before anything is ordered.
How do I know which rental equipment categories to restock before peak season?
WebRun compares booking pace and turn-down rate by category in Point of Rental against the same week last season every Monday. For any category trending toward a shortage, it drafts a purchase request in QuickBooks and posts your fleet manager a Slack alert to approve, so restocking happens ahead of the season instead of after work gets turned away.
- Shortage prone categories are flagged weeks before peak season hits
- Turn-down rate is tracked automatically instead of noticed after lost jobs
- No purchase request reaches a vendor without a fleet manager's approval

Questions, answered
Will it order equipment without approval?
No. WebRun only drafts a purchase request in QuickBooks and leaves it unsent. Your fleet manager reviews and approves every request before anything is ordered from a vendor.
How does it decide a category needs restocking?
It compares this year's booking pace and turn-down rate against the same week last season, and flags a category once turn-downs rise or utilization passes 85 percent.
Does it account for one off spikes, like a single large job?
It compares full week trends against last season rather than a single day, so a one time large booking is less likely to trigger a restock flag on its own.
