Questions, answered
Will it automatically place purchase orders with suppliers?
No. WebRun posts the replenishment list to Slack for your purchasing team to action. It never places orders, sends emails to suppliers, or commits spend on its own. Your buyers remain in control of every order.
What if an item already has an open purchase order?
Items with an existing open purchase order in Wherefour are skipped from the alert list automatically, so your team only sees genuine gaps that need action.
How does it decide which items are most urgent?
Items already at zero stock appear first, followed by those with the fewest days of supply remaining based on current quantity versus reorder point. The list is ranked so the most critical gaps are always at the top.
