Low-Stock Alerts by Location
Every morning, WebRun checks on-hand quantities for every SKU at every warehouse location in NetSuite, compares them to location-specific par levels, and posts a site-by-site low-stock alert to Slack so the right team can act.
How can I automatically monitor low stock levels at each warehouse location?
Every morning, WebRun checks on-hand quantities for every SKU at every warehouse location in NetSuite, compares them against location-specific par levels stored in Google Sheets, and posts a site-by-site low-stock alert to Slack — so the right team can transfer or replenish the right location before a stockout occurs.
- Low stock flagged at each location before a stockout occurs
- Right team alerted for the right warehouse without manual checks
- Replenishment decisions made on live location-level data every morning

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it raise purchase orders or transfer orders automatically?
No — it identifies the shortage and suggests whether to order or transfer, but creating any order is always your decision.
Can it handle dozens of warehouse locations?
Yes — it processes every location NetSuite has configured. The Slack alert is grouped by site so each location manager sees only what's relevant to them.
What if our par levels change seasonally?
Update the reorder points in NetSuite and WebRun automatically uses the new thresholds from the next run onwards.
