Manually entering new product SKUs, descriptions and pricing across Shopify, POS and accounting systems

Returns and exchanges requiring manual adjustment across multiple platforms to keep inventory accurate

Implementation

How we implement data entry automation for your retail & e-commerce business.

Capture Product and Transaction Data

Automatically extract product details, pricing, quantities and supplier information from purchase orders, packing slips, invoices and returns documentation. Data is captured from email, PDF and scanned document sources.

✓ Tools: OCR Engine, Email Parser, Shopify

Validate Against Product Catalogue and Pricing

Each entry is validated against the current SKU catalogue, approved supplier pricing and promotional pricing rules. Duplicate SKUs, pricing errors and unrecognised products are flagged before entering the inventory system.

✓ Tools: Validation Rules Engine, Shopify, Square

Update Inventory and Sales Systems

Validated data synchronises across POS, ecommerce platform and accounting software. Stock receipts update available inventory across all sales channels, and supplier invoices flow directly to accounts payable.

✓ Tools: Shopify, Square, Xero

Generate Inventory and Sales Reports

Automated reporting tracks stock levels, sell-through rates, supplier lead times and margin performance by SKU. Reorder alerts trigger when stock falls below defined thresholds across any channel.

✓ Tools: Power BI, Google Sheets, Shopify Analytics
