In short

How do I reorder drywall mud and tape before a job runs out?

Every Monday, WebRun reads the finishing consumables each active job was estimated in The EDGE, totals what has already been bought in QuickBooks, and flags jobs where joint compound or tape is running low. It drafts a reorder for your review and pings you on Telegram, so no crew runs out and no order is placed without approval.

  • Crews stop losing hours to mid-job runs for more mud and tape
  • Reorders are drafted from real usage, not a guess
  • Every purchase order is reviewed before it reaches the supplier

Questions, answered

Will it buy materials without asking me?

No. WebRun drafts the reorder purchase order and leaves it unsent, then alerts you on Telegram. You review the quantities and release the order to the supplier yourself. Nothing is purchased automatically.

How does it know a job is running low?

It compares the finishing consumables each job was estimated in The EDGE against what has actually been purchased in QuickBooks. When the remaining amount drops below your reorder threshold, that job is flagged.

Can I set different thresholds per material?

Yes. You set separate reorder points for joint compound, tape, and corner bead during setup, so a fast-moving item can trigger a draft earlier than a slow one.

Put this on autopilot.
