See if your capacity can cover next month's orders
Every Monday, WebRun reads each customer's latest forecast sent to Outlook, checks open press capacity and the current job backlog in DELMIAWorks, builds a Google Sheet comparing each customer's forecasted volume to what capacity can realistically cover, and drafts, but does not send, a heads up email for any account running short so your planner can decide how and when to raise it with the customer.

How do I know if my capacity can cover a customer's forecast?
WebRun reads each customer's latest forecast from Outlook and checks open press capacity against the current backlog in DELMIAWorks every Monday. It builds a Google Sheet ranking customers by capacity gap and drafts, but never sends, a heads up email for any account whose forecast exceeds available capacity, so a shortfall surfaces weeks ahead instead of showing up as a missed ship date.
- Capacity shortfalls surface weeks before a ship date is at risk
- Every customer's forecast is checked against real open capacity, not guesswork
- Nothing reaches a customer without your team reviewing the draft first

Questions, answered
Will it email the customer about a capacity shortfall?
No. WebRun only drafts an internal heads up for the account owner and leaves it unsent. Nothing goes to a customer automatically. Deciding whether and how to raise a capacity issue with a customer stays with your team.
Where does the forecast data come from?
It reads the forecast your customers already send to Outlook, whether that's an email figure or an attached spreadsheet, so it works with however each account currently shares their forecast.
What counts as open capacity?
Total press hours available over the next 4 weeks minus what's already committed to the job backlog in DELMIAWorks, so the gap reflects real remaining capacity, not just an empty schedule slot.
