How do I hand off steel to a coating vendor without missing a piece mark?
WebRun checks Tekla PowerFab every morning for piece marks newly moved to ready-for-paint or ready-for-galvanizing status, groups them by vendor and coating spec, and prepares a DocuSign work order for each one. The envelope is left unsent for review, and a Teams alert tells your shop lead the handoff is ready, so no piece ships to coating without a checked packing list.
- No piece mark ships to coating without a checked, complete work order
- Vendor handoffs are grouped by spec so nothing gets mixed up
- Every work order is reviewed by a human before it reaches the vendor
Built for structural steel fabricators · shop leads · AESS shops · paint and galvanizing coordinators

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it send the work order to the coating vendor on its own?
No. WebRun only prepares the DocuSign envelope and leaves it unsent. Your shop lead reviews the piece list and spec, then sends it themselves.
What if a job has more than one coating vendor?
It groups pieces by the vendor assigned to that job's spec in Tekla PowerFab, so each vendor gets its own work order instead of one mixed list.
Does it track when the vendor returns the coated pieces?
No, this workflow only covers the outbound handoff. Set up a separate delivery or receiving alert if you also want return tracking.
