Automated Plant Livestock ETA Updates
Every hour, WebRun opens M2X, reads each inbound load's live ETA, compares it to the plant's booked processing slot, posts any load running early or late to Slack, and drafts an ETA update email to the plant contact for your team to review and send.
How do I automatically notify a plant when a livestock load will miss its slot?
Every hour WebRun opens M2X, reads each inbound load's live ETA, and compares it to the plant's booked processing slot. It posts loads running off their slot to Slack and drafts an ETA update email to each affected plant in Gmail for your team to review and send, so plants plan around real arrival times.
- Plants learn about a late load while there is still time to adjust
- Dispatch sees the exact minutes off slot, ranked worst first
- On-time loads never generate a needless email to the plant
Built for livestock haulers · cattle transporters · processing plant schedulers · feedlot logistics teams

Questions, answered
Will it email the processing plant without me?
No. Each plant ETA update is drafted in Gmail and left unsent for your team to review and send. The internal Slack alert posts automatically, but no message reaches a plant customer without human approval.
How does it know a load will miss its slot?
It compares each load's live ETA in M2X to the plant's booked processing slot every hour and flags any load projected to arrive outside its window, with the exact minutes early or late.
What if a load is running exactly on time?
Loads projected to arrive inside their booked slot are left off the alert and no email is drafted, so your team and the plant are only contacted about arrivals that actually need attention.
