How do I know which units to restock before the season starts?
WebRun checks Ideal DMS every Monday for unit inventory sitting below your seasonal stocking target, then nets out what is already on order in QuickBooks so nothing is double counted. It posts your purchasing team a ranked shortage list in Slack before the season starts, so popular mowers and snow blowers do not run out mid season.
- Purchasing sees this week's shortage list before the season ramps up
- Units already on order are netted out so nothing is double flagged
- Popular categories like mowers and snow blowers stay in stock through peak season
Built for outdoor power equipment dealers · OPE dealership GMs · dealership purchasing managers · lawn and garden dealers

Questions, answered
Will it place orders with the OEM distributor automatically?
No. WebRun only flags which categories are short against your seasonal target. Your purchasing team still places every order with the distributor by hand.
How does it decide what counts as a shortage?
It compares on hand units in Ideal DMS against the stocking target you set for each category and season, then nets out anything already on order in QuickBooks so a pending shipment is not flagged twice.
What if I already reordered a category this week?
It reads live purchase order data in QuickBooks every Monday, so any category with a matching open order drops off the urgent list automatically.
