In short

How do I automatically generate reorder alerts and draft purchase orders for my liquor store?

WebRun scans your City Hive inventory every morning, finds every SKU below its reorder threshold, and drafts a purchase order grouped by distributor in Google Sheets. It then posts the draft to your buying channel in Slack so a human can review and approve before anything is sent to a distributor.

  • Out-of-stock gaps caught before customers notice them
  • Buyer receives a ready-to-approve PO draft every morning
  • Reorder data logged by distributor for trend review

Built for liquor store buyers · bottle shop owners · beverage retail managers · wine and spirits retailers

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send purchase orders to distributors on its own?

No. WebRun drafts the PO in Google Sheets and notifies your buyer in Slack. Nothing is sent to a distributor until your buyer reviews and approves it.

How does it know when a product needs reordering?

It reads the reorder threshold you configure in City Hive. Any SKU at or below that quantity appears in the draft. You can adjust thresholds per product at any time.

What if some items are already on order?

You can flag those SKUs as pending in your City Hive settings or the Sheets log, and WebRun will skip them on the next run so your buyer is not shown duplicates.

Put this on autopilot.
