Questions, answered

Does this contact customers about overdue containers?

No. The report is internal only. It flags overdue containers in Slack for your ops team to follow up. Any customer communication is a separate step your team takes.

Can it track containers across multiple depots or regions?

Yes. WebRun reads all containers visible in your AMCS account, so multi-depot operations are all included in the same weekly report.

How far back does the inventory history go?

Each weekly run appends a new snapshot to the Google Sheet, so your history grows automatically. You can look back at any week's counts directly in the Sheet.

Put this on autopilot.
