In short

How do I get alerted when fabric bolts are running low?

WebRun watches your fabric bolts in Like Sew every morning. It reads the remaining yardage on each bolt, compares it to your reorder point, logs anything low to a Google Sheet grouped by vendor, and posts your buyer a ranked Slack reorder list, so best sellers get restocked before they run out.

  • Best-selling fabrics get reordered before they run out
  • Your buyer opens Slack to a vendor-grouped reorder list
  • No manual bolt-by-bolt yardage counts each morning

Questions, answered

Will it order fabric on its own?

No. WebRun only builds a vendor-grouped reorder list in a Google Sheet and Slack. Your buyer places every purchase order. Nothing is ordered without a person.

How does it know a bolt is low?

It reads the live remaining yardage in Like Sew each morning and compares it to the reorder point you set per SKU, so only bolts at or below that point make the list.

Can it group the list by supplier?

Yes. It groups every low bolt by vendor in the sheet and the Slack post, so one purchase order can cover each supplier in a single go.

Put this on autopilot.
