Are outsourcing firms feasible for automation?

Data entry has become rare in all the outsourcing firms now.

Almost every e-commerce solutions outsourcing firms can unite various changes. Right from the latest techs to automating VBA, PHP and scraping. This is because they are familiar with managing the e-commerce platforms. This means, outsourcing the automation needs will help you reach your business goals credibly.

Besides, the use and demand for artificial intelligence have grown in the market, too.

So, many e-commerce owners have questions, like:

Will it be possible to scrape 10,000 product data along with the layered navigation data from the site and list it on the online store within a week?

If a job requires scraping or extracting product data from the vendor website followed by arranging and organizing it on the e-commerce site, what will be the cost for two vendors with 2000 items?

Well, all have their set of question. That is why every retailer strives harder. This way they offer all types of services on time while making profits. But, in case of acute urgency, the work is handed to others without knowing how the products are listed.

But when you assign such a task to the experts, you will get assistance in extracting the product data as soon as possible. This means they will also format it on your store as you request in a professional manner.

If you get attracted to automation software or use freelancers, then you may end up losing the online store’s professionalism. Here your profits may turn into a loss. Plus, you won’t be able to achieve success.

Let us take a look at some of the ads:

If you come across such ads, you may want to talk with the firm’s executive and implement the features without thinking twice. But when you take a closer look down the line, you realize that the products listed in the store aren’t aligned as per your e-commerce platform.

For instance, recently, 17,000 products were added to a retailers Bigcommerce e-commerce Platform Store. This was done with the help of various companies. All of these 17,000 products were taken and added by freelancers. Then the firm approached Intellect Outsource to add a few products representing a new brand. Sadly, there were problems with many orders. On a closer survey, it was found that not all the products were added as per the request of Bigcommerce firm.

When adding a product with various options and variants, it is vital to add it as a custom option. Likewise, various optional products are added as single products. Once these errors were pointed. The retailer understood the difficulty of automation.

Well, we aren’t saying that automation or scraping is a bad thing. But, it is key that only vital and orderly data is listed on your e-commerce stores after the process.

As it is visible in the ads, the extraction method may be done well. But, when these extracted data arrives at your e-commerce store. They need to be uploaded in a manner that suits best for your e-commerce store.

For instance, if a user using the Magneto platform wishes to list PDF or other files on the product pages, then he will ask for advice from the top module development firm. The user may end up buying and installing the lowest-priced extension. Here the user is wasting time and money. Plus, he is also hurting the store’s performance. This is because he has no knowledge of its functionality. So, if you think this method is easy. The trust us, only a proper grasp on the topic will prove lucrative.

When you hire an e-commerce data entry specialist with skill in managing e-commerce, you can encounter successful automation. Right from product data, order, inventory and customer management of your store will run smoothly.
