Automated Costume Reorder Alerts

Every morning, WebRun opens Artisan POS, checks costume variants (size, style, and color) against how fast the season is selling, drafts a purchase order in QuickBooks for anything trending toward a stockout, and posts the draft list to Slack for you to approve.

In short

How do I know when to reorder seasonal costumes before they sell out?

WebRun protects your seasonal costume sales every morning. It checks Artisan POS for costume variants selling faster than expected, drafts a purchase order in QuickBooks sized to cover the rest of the season, and posts the draft to Slack for a manager to approve, so no size or style sells out before you can reorder it.

  • Best-selling costume sizes get reordered before they sell out
  • Purchase orders are drafted and sized to the season automatically
  • Nothing ships to a vendor without a manager's approval

Built for costume shop owners · party supply retailers · seasonal retail buyers

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it submit the purchase order to my vendor?

No. WebRun only drafts the purchase order in QuickBooks and posts it to Slack for review. A manager has to approve and submit it before anything is ordered or charged.

How does it know which sizes are running low?

It compares each costume variant's remaining stock in Artisan POS to how fast that variant has been selling this season, not just a flat reorder point.

What happens to costumes that aren't selling?

They're left off the draft order. WebRun only flags variants on pace to sell out, so slow movers don't get reordered by mistake.

Put this on autopilot.
