Questions, answered
How far in advance does it flag products before they expire?
You configure the alert window when setting up WebRun, for example 3 days before the best-by date. Products already expired are flagged as urgent and sorted to the top of the pull list.
Does it track expiry dates or does Cantaloupe store them?
It reads the expiry data stored in Cantaloupe Seed Pro for each product. Your team needs to enter expiry dates when loading product information into Cantaloupe for this workflow to function.
Does it notify machine locations or customers about expiring products?
No. The pull list is an internal Slack message for your drivers only. No messages go to location contacts or consumers.
