Automated Fire Parts Reorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun checks your parts inventory in BuildOps, identifies fire system components below reorder level, logs each item to a reorder tracker in Google Sheets, drafts a purchase order summary, and alerts your operations manager in Slack so parts are ordered before an upcoming job runs short.
How do I automatically get alerted when fire system parts need to be reordered?
WebRun checks your fire parts inventory in BuildOps every morning, identifies items at or below reorder threshold, logs them to a Google Sheets purchase order tracker, and alerts your operations manager in Slack with urgency ranked by upcoming job needs, so parts are ordered before a technician shows up short.
- Technicians never arrive at a job without the parts they need
- Parts needed for upcoming jobs surface before it is too late to reorder
- Operations manager has a daily low-stock summary without manual inventory checks
Built for fire protection companies · sprinkler and extinguisher service firms · fire alarm installation contractors · operations managers at life-safety businesses

Questions, answered
Will it place a purchase order with the supplier automatically?
No. WebRun drafts a purchase order summary in Google Sheets and alerts your operations manager in Slack. A human reviews and places the actual order so no unintended purchases are made.
How does it know what the reorder threshold is for each part?
It reads the reorder level configured for each part in BuildOps. You can set or adjust those thresholds in BuildOps at any time and WebRun will pick up the updated values on the next run.
What if a part is needed for a job booked this week?
Parts needed for jobs scheduled in the next 7 days are flagged at the top of the Slack alert so your operations manager knows which low-stock items are urgent versus routine restocks.
