It ranks flagged shipments by urgency and posts an immediate alert to Slack, so your licensed brokers can file before CBP issues a penalty, with no missed deadlines from manual tracking.

- Team receives a ranked alert so the most urgent shipments are actioned first
- CBP penalty risk drops significantly compared to manual queue review

Questions, answered
Will it file the ISF on my behalf?
No. WebRun only detects and alerts. Filing the ISF requires your licensed broker to review and submit it, which WebRun never does on its own.
How early does it alert before the deadline?
It flags shipments as soon as the ISF is unfiled and the vessel ETD falls within 24 hours, giving your team the maximum remaining time to act.
What if the ISF was already filed but Descartes hasn't updated yet?
WebRun reads the live status in Descartes each run, so once the filing is recorded there it is automatically removed from future alerts.
