Questions, answered
Will it automatically raise emergency purchase orders when a demand spike is detected?
No. WebRun alerts your team in Slack with the data they need to act. Raising an emergency PO is a human decision, ensuring no unplanned spend goes out without approval.
Can I adjust the 50-percent spike threshold?
Yes. Configure WebRun with your preferred sensitivity threshold during setup. A lower threshold catches smaller spikes earlier; a higher one reduces noise for stable SKUs.
What if the spike is caused by a single large order rather than a trend?
WebRun uses a 7-day rolling average rather than a single day's sales, which smooths one-off large orders. Genuine multi-day acceleration above your threshold will still trigger the alert.
