How do I get alerted to component shortages before they stall a production line?
WebRun checks FactoryLogix every hour for components falling short of what this week's kits need, texts the assigned buyer through Twilio the moment a shortfall appears, and posts your materials team a running Slack summary of every open shortage and the line it threatens, so a missing part gets expedited before it stalls production.
- Buyers hear about a shortage within the hour it appears, not at the next kitting meeting
- Every open shortage is visible in one Slack list ranked by age
- Shortages get expedited while there is still time before the scheduled kit pull

Questions, answered
Who receives the shortage text?
Only the buyer already assigned to that part in FactoryLogix, at your own phone number on file. WebRun never texts a supplier or customer directly.
Will it text me more than once about the same shortage?
No. Each shortage triggers one text when it is first detected, then it moves to the Slack summary so you are not paged repeatedly for something you already know about.
How far ahead does it catch a shortage?
As soon as FactoryLogix shows an on hand and on order quantity that will not cover the next kit pull, often days before the line is scheduled to run it.
