Automated simPRO Job Cost Overrun Alerts
Throughout the day, WebRun checks each active simPRO job's actual cost against its quoted cost, posts a Telegram alert the moment a job goes over budget, and sends you a text if the overage crosses the threshold you set, so nothing quietly eats the margin.
How do I catch simPRO jobs that go over their quoted cost?
WebRun checks every active simPRO job's actual cost against its quoted cost throughout the day, posting a Telegram alert the moment one runs over budget. When an overage crosses the threshold you set, it also texts you directly, so a job quietly eating its margin gets caught within the same shift, not at month end.
- Cost overruns get flagged the same day, not at invoicing
- Big overages reach you by text within the same shift
- Margin erosion on a job is visible before the job closes

Questions, answered
Will it stop the job or change costs in simPRO?
No. WebRun only reads quoted and actual costs. It never edits a job, a quote, or logs any cost on its own.
What counts as a big enough overrun to text me?
Whatever threshold you set during setup, for example any job that goes 15 percent or more over its quoted cost. Smaller overruns still show up in Telegram.
Does it check jobs that are already closed?
No, it only checks jobs still marked active in simPRO. Closed or invoiced jobs are skipped.
