Flag slow-moving bin stock for a markdown decision

Every Monday, WebRun opens Common Ground, finds the records that have sat unsold in your bins the longest by genre, logs each to a Google Sheet with days in stock and a suggested markdown, and posts your team a Slack shortlist of slow movers to review, so aging stock gets priced to sell instead of gathering dust.

In short

How do I find and mark down slow-moving vinyl stock?

WebRun surfaces your dead stock every Monday. It reads days in stock by genre bin in Common Ground, finds the longest-sitting unsold titles, logs each to a Google Sheet with a suggested markdown, and posts your team a Slack shortlist to approve, so aging records get priced to sell while every price change still waits for a person.

  • Aging bin stock surfaces weekly instead of sitting unnoticed
  • Suggested markdowns scale with how long a record has sat
  • No shelf price changes without a person approving it

Questions, answered

Will it change my shelf prices automatically?

No. WebRun only suggests a markdown and posts a shortlist for review. Any price change in Common Ground is made by a person, so nothing is repriced without your approval.

How does it decide a record is a slow mover?

It compares each title's days in stock against your normal turn time and looks at how many copies you hold, so genuinely aging and overstocked records rise to the top of the list.

How is the suggested markdown set?

It scales the discount to how far past your turn target the record has sat, so a title that has lingered for months is suggested at a deeper cut than one only slightly slow.

Put this on autopilot.
