In short

How do I get automatic alerts for roasted coffee lots approaching their freshness deadline?

WebRun scans your Cropster roasted inventory every morning and ranks every lot by days remaining in its freshness window. The dispatch team gets a Telegram FEFO alert before the day's picks begin, so the oldest roasts ship first and no lot goes stale sitting behind a newer batch.

  • Dispatch team ships oldest roasts first every day without manual checks
  • No roasted lot expires in the warehouse unnoticed
  • Urgent lots are flagged at the top of the daily Telegram alert

Questions, answered

How does it define the freshness window?

You set the freshness window in days during setup, for example 30 days post-roast for filter or 21 days for espresso. WebRun applies your threshold to every lot it scans in Cropster.

What if no lots are expiring soon?

It sends a brief all-clear Telegram message so your team knows the check ran and inventory is fresh. No guessing whether the alert was skipped.

Can it handle multiple freshness windows for different product types?

Yes. You can configure separate thresholds for espresso, filter, and single-origin lots, and the alert will apply the correct window to each lot type based on how it is tagged in Cropster.
