Questions, answered
Does it contact vendors or order parts automatically?
No. WebRun posts alerts to Slack and logs incidents to Google Sheets so your team can decide how to respond. It never contacts suppliers or places orders on its own.
How does it know a machine went down?
It reads operations in Fulcrum that were paused or flagged with equipment-related delay reasons by your operators. The more consistently your team logs delays in Fulcrum, the more complete the alerts will be.
Can I see which machines fail most often?
Yes. The Google Sheet log accumulates every incident over time, so you can filter by machine to see frequency and total downtime for trend analysis and maintenance planning.
