Automated Wash Chemical Usage Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens TankSoft Pro, reads the detergents, caustics, and sanitizers logged against the prior day's washes, rolls up usage by wash type and by chemical in an Airtable base, and posts a Slack summary that highlights the heaviest-use wash types and any chemical running toward reorder.
How do I track detergent and chemical usage per tank wash type?
Every morning WebRun opens TankSoft Pro and reads the detergents, caustics, and sanitizers logged against the prior day's washes. It rolls up usage by wash type and chemical in an Airtable base, updates on-hand estimates, and posts a Slack summary flagging heavy-use wash types and any chemical below its reorder point, so chemical cost and stock stay visible without a clipboard.
- Chemical use per wash type is tracked without manual tallies
- Chemicals below their reorder point are flagged each morning
- No chemical is ordered without a human decision
Built for wash-bay managers · tank wash operators · procurement staff · operations supervisors

Questions, answered
Does it order chemicals on its own?
No. It tracks usage and flags anything below its reorder point in Slack, but it never places an order. Restocking stays a human decision, so nothing is purchased automatically.
How does it know how much chemical each wash used?
It reads the detergents and chemicals already logged against each wash ticket in TankSoft Pro, so the tracker reflects what your operators actually recorded per wash.
Can it show usage by equipment type?
Yes. It splits usage across tanker, IBC, ISO, and rail using the equipment class on each ticket, so you can compare chemical cost per wash type.
