In short

How do I get automatic low-stock alerts for locksmith parts before they run out?

Every morning, WebRun opens Housecall Pro, reviews the parts inventory in your Price Book, identifies every item at or below its reorder threshold, and posts a ranked low-stock Slack alert sorted by criticality. Your team reorders before a technician arrives on a job without the part they need.

  • Low-stock parts are flagged every morning before technicians head out
  • Out-of-stock items are marked urgent so nothing critical is missed
  • Team reorders proactively instead of reacting to a stalled job

Questions, answered

Will it place reorder requests automatically?

No. WebRun posts a Slack alert for your team to review and act on. All purchase orders are created by your team after reviewing the low-stock list.

How do I set the reorder threshold for each part?

Set the minimum quantity threshold in Housecall Pro's Price Book for each item. WebRun reads those thresholds and surfaces anything at or below them.

What if we do not track inventory in Housecall Pro?

This workflow requires parts to be listed in Housecall Pro's Price Book with quantities tracked. If inventory is managed elsewhere, contact the team to connect the right source.
