WebRun opens Cin7 every Monday morning and reads the full inventory valuation across all locations and product categories. It calculates the week-on-week change, flags large movements, and posts a structured breakdown to Slack so finance and operations start the week with the same numbers without anyone having to log in to Cin7.

  • Finance and operations aligned on inventory value every Monday morning
  • Week-on-week changes flagged automatically before anyone asks
  • No manual Cin7 report runs needed to get the weekly valuation

Questions, answered

Will it adjust cost prices or inventory values in Cin7?

No. WebRun reads the valuation data and posts the digest to Slack. It never writes to or modifies any Cin7 records.

How does it handle multiple warehouse locations?

WebRun reads stock and cost data across all warehouse locations configured in Cin7 and breaks down the valuation by each location in the Slack digest.

Can it also write the valuation to a Google Sheet for finance records?

Yes. Connect Google Sheets during setup and WebRun will write the breakdown there as well as posting to Slack, giving finance a running log of weekly valuations.
