Automated GoFrugal Stock Transfer Suggestions
Every Monday, WebRun opens GoFrugal, compares stock on hand for every SKU across your outlets, drafts a suggested transfer from each overstocked outlet to the nearest understocked one, lists the plan in Google Sheets, and pings your operations team on Telegram to confirm before anything is dispatched.
How do I balance stock levels between retail outlets automatically?
WebRun compares stock on hand across your GoFrugal outlets every Monday, matches overstocked outlets against nearby ones running low on the same SKU, and drafts a suggested transfer for each pair. It lists the plan in Google Sheets and pings operations on Telegram to confirm, so stock reaches the outlets that need it before a shelf goes empty.
- Overstock at one outlet clears before it becomes markdown stock
- Shortfalls filled from a nearby outlet instead of a new purchase order
- Every transfer suggestion left for a manager to confirm before dispatch

Questions, answered
Does it move stock or dispatch anything on its own?
No. WebRun only drafts a suggested transfer in GoFrugal and lists it for review. A manager still has to confirm and dispatch the transfer, so no stock moves between outlets without a person acting.
How does it decide which outlets to pair?
It compares stock on hand and recent sell-through for each SKU by outlet, then matches an overstocked outlet to the nearest one running low on the same item, so the suggested transfer actually solves a real shortfall.
What if two outlets are both low on the same item?
It only suggests a transfer where one outlet is genuinely overstocked against another's shortfall. If every outlet is low, it leaves that SKU off the transfer plan instead of forcing a move that would just shift the shortage.
