Automated Landscape Material Reorder Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens Aspire, reviews material inventory levels alongside the week's upcoming jobs, identifies mulch, seed, fertilizer, or other supplies running below reorder point, drafts a purchase order for each shortage, and posts a Slack alert so your operations manager can review and approve before anything is ordered.
How do I automatically track and reorder landscaping materials like mulch before I run out?
WebRun opens Aspire every Monday, compares current material inventory against upcoming job requirements, and drafts a purchase order in Gmail for every supply running below a safe threshold. A Slack alert highlights critical shortages and the draft PO count, giving your ops manager a reviewed reorder decision before any shortage delays a crew.
- Material shortages are spotted before they delay a job, not after the crew arrives on site without supplies
- Draft POs are staged and reviewed so quantities and suppliers are always verified before ordering
- A Google Sheets log builds a purchase history automatically for cost tracking and supplier negotiations
Built for landscaping operations managers · landscape company owners · grounds maintenance purchasing teams · multi-crew landscape contractors

Questions, answered
Will it place purchase orders automatically?
No. Every draft PO is staged in Gmail unsent and flagged in Slack for your operations manager to review. No order is placed until a human approves the quantities, supplier, and timing.
How does it decide how much to order?
WebRun calculates the gap between current on-hand stock and the material required to cover the next two weeks of jobs, then adds a 20% buffer. You can adjust both the buffer and the forward-planning window in your settings.
What if a delivery arrived after the run but before the PO is approved?
The Google Sheets log marks each flagged item as pending. Before the next run, update the log or Aspire inventory to reflect the delivery, and WebRun will skip that item the following Monday.
