ProShop Automated Tool Life Alerts
Every 30 minutes during production, WebRun opens ProShop ERP, checks tool life and cycle counts against each tool's rated life, pings the shop floor on Telegram when a tool crosses your warning threshold, and adds it to a running reorder list in Google Sheets.
How do I get alerted before a cutting tool reaches end of life mid-run?
WebRun checks ProShop ERP every 30 minutes for tools approaching their rated cycle life, then sends a Telegram alert naming the machine, tool, and job before a worn tool scraps a part. Each flagged tool gets added to a running reorder list in Google Sheets, so the tool crib always has a current, prioritized restock list ready.
- Worn tools get flagged before they scrap a part
- The tool crib always has a current reorder list
- Operators get a floor alert instead of finding out mid-run
Built for CNC machine shops · precision manufacturers · tool crib managers · shop floor supervisors

Questions, answered
Does it stop the machine or swap the tool?
No. WebRun only reads tool life data and sends an alert. Changing a tool or stopping a cycle is always a decision for the operator, not WebRun.
Will it order replacement tooling on its own?
No. It only adds the worn tool to a reorder list in Google Sheets for purchasing to review. It never places an order or charges a card by itself.
How does it know a tool's rated life?
It reads the tool life and cycle count fields you already track in ProShop ERP, so the threshold matches whatever your shop has set up for each tool.
