Automated Lab Blank Reorder Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Ocuco Innovations, reads frame and lens blank stock levels against their reorder points and open jobs, drafts a purchase order email to each supplier for items running low, and posts your purchasing team a Slack summary of what needs reordering and how urgent it is.

In short

How do I automatically reorder frames and lens blanks before running out?

WebRun checks frame and lens blank stock in Ocuco Innovations every morning against reorder points and open job demand. It drafts a purchase order email per supplier for items running low, left unsent for purchasing to approve, and posts a Slack reorder summary ranked by urgency, so the lab never stocks out mid-job while a human approves every order.

  • The lab stops running out of blanks mid-job because low stock is flagged at dawn
  • Purchasing reviews one drafted PO per supplier instead of building each by hand
  • Items that will stock out before the next delivery are surfaced first

Built for optical lab purchasing teams · wholesale lens labs · lab inventory managers · ophthalmic labs

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it place orders with suppliers automatically?

No. WebRun drafts each purchase order email in Gmail and leaves it unsent. Purchasing reviews the items and quantities before sending, so no order goes to a supplier on its own.

How does it decide what to reorder?

It compares each frame and blank's on-hand quantity to its reorder point and to blanks already committed to open jobs, so items that will stock out before the next delivery are flagged first.

Can it group items by supplier so I send one PO each?

Yes. It groups low items by supplier and drafts one purchase order email per supplier, so you review a single PO per vendor rather than an order per item.

Put this on autopilot.
