Questions, answered
Will it place orders with suppliers automatically?
No. WebRun posts the alert to Slack for your team to act on. Placing the actual purchase order with a supplier is always a human step.
How does it know the par level for each item?
It reads the par levels you have already set in ECRS CATAPULT inventory management. You keep those numbers in one place and WebRun uses them.
Can it alert on specific departments only, such as produce or dairy?
Yes. You can limit the scan to any department or vendor group inside CATAPULT, so the alert stays focused on the areas you care about most.
