Automated project44 Late Shipment Reporting
Every morning, WebRun signs into project44, reads the tracked shipments in transit, picks out the ones whose estimated arrival has slipped past the promised date, records each delay with its new estimate and reason in Airtable, and writes the exception digest into your Notion operations page for the morning stand-up.
How do I get a daily list of late shipments before customers ask?
WebRun signs into project44 every morning, reads every shipment in transit, and flags the loads whose estimated arrival has slipped past the promised date. It logs each delay and its new estimate in Airtable and publishes a ranked exception digest to your Notion operations page.
- Delayed loads are known before the customer calls about them
- Carrier slippage is tracked shipment by shipment in Airtable
- The morning stand-up opens to a ready-made exception list
Built for logistics teams · supply chain managers · freight brokers · manufacturers and distributors

Questions, answered
Will it contact carriers or customers?
No. WebRun reads shipment status and writes internal records only. It never emails a carrier, messages a customer, or updates a shipment record in project44.
How does it decide a shipment is late?
It compares the current estimated arrival against the promised date on each tracked load. Anything estimated to arrive after the promise is flagged with the hours of slip.
Can I see which carriers slip most often?
Yes. Airtable keeps one row per delayed shipment with a slip count, and the Notion digest groups the day's exceptions by carrier, so repeat offenders become visible over weeks.
