EFI Automatic Ship Date Risk Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens EFI, compares each open order's current production stage, print, die-cut, glue, or pack, against its promised ship date, logs the ones running behind to a Google Sheet, and posts your team a Slack list ranked by days behind so they can pull at-risk jobs forward.
How do I spot packaging orders that will miss their ship date?
WebRun catches packaging orders before they blow a ship date. Each morning it opens EFI, compares every open order's production stage against its promised ship date, logs the ones running late to a Google Sheet, and posts a Slack list ranked by days behind, so your team can pull at-risk jobs forward in time.
- Slipping orders surface every morning, not at ship time
- A running sheet shows which orders go late and how often
- The team reschedules at-risk work before a deadline is missed

Questions, answered
Does it tell the customer their order is running late?
No. WebRun keeps the at-risk list internal, on your Google Sheet and in Slack. It never contacts a customer about a delay. Your team decides who to update and how.
How does it know an order is at risk?
It compares each order's current production stage in EFI, print, die-cut, glue, or pack, against its promised ship date. Anything whose progress puts it past that date is listed with days behind.
Is it safe to run every morning unattended?
Yes. It only reads order status, writes to your own tracking sheet, and posts an internal Slack digest. No order is changed and nothing goes out externally.
