In short

How do I track storm driven demand surges before a branch runs out of stock?

Every few hours during active storm season, WebRun opens DMSi Agility and compares each branch's order volume against its normal baseline by product and zip code. It logs the surge and current stock position in Google Sheets, and pushes a ranked Telegram alert to purchasing the moment a branch risks running out of a high-demand item.

  • Purchasing sees a stock-out risk hours before the branch actually runs dry
  • Every branch's surge is tracked independently, not lost in a company wide average
  • Reorder decisions are based on today's real order pace, not last month's forecast

Questions, answered

Does it reorder stock automatically when a branch runs low?

No. WebRun only flags the branch and product in Telegram with the current stock position. Placing a reorder or transferring stock between branches stays a decision for your purchasing team.

How does it define a demand surge?

It compares each branch's order volume for the day against its trailing 30-day average, so a branch showing well above its normal pace is what triggers a surge entry in the report.

Can it watch more than one storm-affected region at once?

Yes. It checks every branch in DMSi Agility each run, so branches in different states can each surge and get flagged independently the same day.
