Automated SigmaNEST Material Reorder Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens SigmaNEST, checks sheet stock consumed by recent and queued nesting jobs against your reorder thresholds, posts a Slack alert listing any material running low, and drafts a reorder email to your supplier that your purchaser reviews and sends.
How do I get alerted before sheet metal stock runs out in SigmaNEST?
WebRun checks SigmaNEST every morning for sheet stock running below your reorder threshold against jobs already queued for nesting. It posts a Slack alert naming the material, gauge, and affected jobs, and drafts a reorder email to your usual supplier in Gmail, left unsent for your purchaser to review, so a shortage never stalls a nest by surprise.
- Low material stock is flagged before it delays a queued job
- Purchasing opens Gmail to a ready-to-send reorder draft instead of starting from scratch
- Reorder thresholds stay tied to what SigmaNEST actually has queued against stock
Built for fabrication shop purchasers · material planners · nesting programmers · sheet metal shop owners

Questions, answered
Will it place a purchase order automatically?
No. WebRun only drafts the reorder email in Gmail. Your purchaser reviews it, adjusts the quantity if needed, and sends it. Nothing is ordered on its own.
How does it know the reorder threshold?
It reads the reorder point you set for each material and gauge in SigmaNEST, so updating that value there updates the alert logic automatically.
What if a shortage would delay a specific job?
The Slack alert and the draft reorder email both name the jobs queued against that material, so purchasing knows exactly what is waiting on the order.
