In short

How do I automatically track reorder points in Cin7 and get alerts before I run out of stock?

WebRun opens Cin7 every morning and scans every active SKU against its configured reorder point. Items at or below the threshold are ranked by urgency and posted to Slack as a prioritized buy-list, so your purchasing team can raise orders before a stockout affects sales or fulfillment.

  • Reorder-point breaches caught every morning before stockouts happen
  • Buyers open Slack to a ranked, ready-to-act restocking list
  • Zero SKUs missed, no matter how large the catalog

Questions, answered

Will it automatically raise purchase orders?

No. WebRun surfaces the items that need restocking and posts them to Slack for your buyers to act on. Purchase orders are drafted by your team, keeping a human in the loop before any spend is committed.

What if a SKU has an open PO already in flight?

Cin7 shows quantity on order alongside on-hand stock. Configure your reorder logic to account for incoming stock, and WebRun will read those values and only flag items that genuinely need attention.

How many SKUs can it scan each morning?

WebRun reads all active SKUs in your Cin7 catalog each run. Whether you have 50 or 5,000 lines, every item is checked against its reorder point on every run.
