Spot supplier cost changes before they hurt your margin
Every 30 minutes during business hours, WebRun opens LithosPOS, checks each new purchase against the species' baseline landed cost, logs anything that jumped past your threshold to Google Sheets, drafts a query email to the supplier in Gmail, and posts a Slack alert so you can review before it's sent.

How do I catch supplier landed cost changes before they hurt my margin?
WebRun checks new LithosPOS purchases every 30 minutes during business hours, comparing each species' landed cost to its saved baseline. Any change past your threshold gets logged in Google Sheets, drafted as a supplier query email in Gmail, and posted to Slack for you to review, so you catch a cost jump the same day, not at month end.
- Cost jumps get caught the same day instead of buried in a monthly statement
- Supplier queries start as a drafted email, never sent without your review
- A running baseline cost history builds up per species automatically
Built for seafood markets · fishmongers · fish market owners · seafood buyers

Questions, answered
Will it email my supplier without me?
No. Every query is drafted in Gmail and left unsent. You review and send it yourself, nothing goes to a supplier automatically.
What counts as a cost change worth flagging?
Any landed cost move past the percent threshold you set, compared to that species' saved baseline in Sheets.
Does it change my retail prices when cost changes?
No. It only flags the cost change and drafts a supplier query. Any retail price change is a separate decision you make in LithosPOS.
