In short

How do I automatically find overstocked SKUs in Cin7 that need a markdown?

WebRun opens Cin7 every Monday, calculates days of cover for every active SKU, and flags any item sitting above 90 days of supply. The overstock list is written to Google Sheets, sorted by tied-up cost value, with suggested actions so your team can quickly decide which products to mark down, promote, or return to suppliers.

  • Overstocked SKUs identified weekly before cash stays tied up for months
  • Buyers get a sorted, action-ready overstock sheet every Monday morning
  • Markdown and return decisions made faster with suggested actions attached

Questions, answered

Will it automatically mark down prices in Cin7?

No. WebRun flags which SKUs are candidates and logs them to Google Sheets for your team to review. Price changes are made by your team, so no pricing is altered without a human decision.

Can I adjust the 90-day overstock threshold?

Yes. Tell WebRun your preferred overstock threshold in days during setup and it will use that value instead of the 90-day default.

What does the suggested action column mean?

WebRun assigns a suggested action based on days of cover: items over 180 days get a supplier-return suggestion, 90 to 180 days gets a markdown or promotion flag. Your team makes the final call on each.
