In short

How do I route container repair estimates to the principal for approval automatically?

WebRun opens MRI Intermodal Software every morning, collects repair estimates awaiting principal approval, and drafts an itemized sign-off email to each lessor or line, listing every damage line and its CEDEX code. It leaves the emails unsent for a coordinator and posts the depot a Slack list of estimates still pending, oldest first.

  • Every repair estimate reaches its principal the same morning it is raised
  • Coordinators review a drafted email instead of writing each one from scratch
  • No estimate sits unapproved because the pending list is checked every day

Questions, answered

Will it send the approval request to the principal on its own?

No. WebRun drafts each principal email and leaves it unsent for a coordinator to review. Nothing goes to a lessor or shipping line until a person approves and sends it.

How does it group estimates for each principal?

It groups by the container principal recorded in MRI Intermodal Software, so a lessor with five containers gets one itemized email covering all five rather than five separate messages.

What if an estimate was already approved in MRI Intermodal Software?

It reads the live estimate status each morning, so anything already approved, rejected, or converted to a work order drops off the pending list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
