Catch project kits you can no longer fully build

Every morning, WebRun opens Rain POS, reads the component list behind each project kit, checks the stock of every skein and notion it needs, works out how many complete kits you can still build, logs the shortfalls to a Google Sheet, and posts you a Slack alert about kits about to go short.

In short

How do I know when a project kit is short on components?

WebRun checks your Rain POS project kits every morning, reads the skeins, needles, and notions behind each one, and counts how many complete kits you can still build. It logs shortfalls to a Google Sheet and posts you a Slack alert, naming the limiting component per kit, so a best-selling kit never quietly runs out mid-season.

  • Popular kits stay buildable through the season
  • You see the exact component holding up each kit
  • No purchase orders placed without your decision

Built for yarn shops · needlework stores · kit makers · shop buyers

Questions, answered

Will it reorder components on its own?

No. WebRun only flags which kits have gone short and names the limiting component. You place every purchase order yourself. Nothing is ordered without a person.

How does it know a kit is short?

It reads the component list behind each kit in Rain POS and checks the on-hand stock of every skein and notion, then reports the lowest buildable count and which component is the bottleneck.

Does it tell me what is causing the shortfall?

Yes. For each short kit it names the exact skein color or notion running low and how many units short it is, so you can reorder just the one component holding up the build.

Put this on autopilot.
