Notify contractors before a manufacturer price increase lands

When your team uploads a new manufacturer price sheet, WebRun logs the updated cost and sell price by SKU in Savance Enterprise (Klipboard), checks the margin impact against current pricing in Xero, and drafts a heads up notice for contractor accounts affected before the new pricing takes effect.

In short

How do I notify contractors before a manufacturer price increase takes effect?

When a new manufacturer price sheet is uploaded, WebRun logs the updated cost by SKU in Savance Enterprise (Klipboard), calculates the percent increase, and checks Xero for the margin impact and which contractor accounts order that SKU most. It drafts a heads up notice for each affected account in Gmail, left for your sales team to review before it goes out.

  • Contractors get advance notice before a price increase takes effect
  • Margin impact is calculated by SKU the day the new sheet arrives
  • Notices go only to accounts that actually order the affected SKUs

Questions, answered

Will it email contractors about the price change automatically?

No. Every heads up notice is saved as a Gmail draft. Your sales team reviews and sends it, WebRun never emails a contractor on its own.

How does it decide which contractors to notify?

It checks Xero for which contractor accounts ordered that SKU most in the past 90 days, so notices go to the accounts actually affected.

What counts as a price increase worth flagging?

Any SKU increasing more than your set threshold, typically 5 percent, gets flagged. Smaller adjustments are logged but do not trigger a notice.
