How do I automatically alert my team when yard equipment maintenance is coming due?

It sends a Telegram alert to your maintenance team grouped by urgency and writes a prioritized work-order list to Google Sheets, so planned maintenance never catches your yard by surprise.

  • Maintenance-due equipment is flagged 14 days out, not on breakdown day
  • Maintenance team starts Monday with a prioritized Telegram alert and a Google Sheet work-order list
  • Active-load equipment is flagged as priority so downtime is avoided during peak operations

Questions, answered

Does it schedule the maintenance work orders automatically?

No. WebRun alerts your maintenance team and creates a prioritized list in Google Sheets. Scheduling and dispatching work orders is done by your maintenance planner based on the list.

What equipment types does it monitor?

It monitors trailers, yard spotters, and dock levelers by default. You can add other asset types, such as reach trucks or generator sets, in your WebRun setup if they are tracked in YardView.

What if a piece of equipment is taken out of service before its maintenance date?

If YardView shows the unit as inactive or out-of-service, WebRun skips it on the next run. The Google Sheet row is marked as inactive automatically so your work-order list stays accurate.
