Our client is looking for an on-going ecommerce product data entry team for their online store catalog management projects. He requiredto collecting all product information and images from giving data sources and manufacturerwebsites.

Client Project Instructions as follows

I'm building out a new dock products online store in USA. I've got most of the framework done,categories created with images etc. This is WordPress and WooCommerce. I need data entry staffto go to the manufacturer's website and start grabbing the images and pdf files for eachproduct. You can use test site as a guide to which categories (and subsequent products underthose subcategories) we'll be using. I need you to gather the images, .pdf files. Then thosefile names (which match SKU's) need to be added to the master import spreadsheet. Then I need totake the pricing and shipping information from a couple spreadsheets and copy them over to themaster import spreadsheet as well. We'll also need to assign products to thecategories/subcategories in the master spreadsheet too. We're looking at around two thousandproducts to sell in my online store at begining. Could be more.

We'll also need to create attributes for most products giving basic dimensions, material used(steel, aluminum, stainless etc), color selection if offered in different colors etc - thesewill be used for filtering in the sidebar. It's mostly the dock ladders section and thoseproducts that will have a lot more attributes (Number of Steps, Top Step Height, DistanceBetween Steps, Overall Width, Inside Width, Length etc - I can send a list of attribute we'llneed to use for those products. Not all products will have a bunch of attributes.

I can provide the data sheets sent me with all product details, pricing spreadsheet so you canlook over it. What they sent me has every product they sell. I won't be selling everything sowe'll need to identify that in the spreadsheet as well and remove products we're not selling.

I'm shooting to launch this online store soon so we have a month and a half until launch. Pleaseshare your thoughts.

Challenges

During the course of the project, we had faced numerous challenges, including:

1. Main category and subcategory identification from a broad collection of products in thevendor site, and right product category allocation to the client store.
2. Collection and identification of files from a massive cluster of files downloaded.
3. Our client insisted on the usage of a plugin for the documents. However, the custom tabplugin usage for this purpose was challenging and time-consuming.

To complete the data entry project within the stipulated time, while ensuring all specificationswere adhered to, we took the following steps:

1. We have settled the broad category identification and allocation matter by assigning thetask to the pool of proficient staff.
2. We have decided to use specific tools for quick and largescale file identification, andmanagement.
3. We have decided to embrace the challenge of managing the documents with a plugin. For that,we decided to create HTML codes to upload the files solely by plugin manually with specifictools.
4. In addition, we also decided to manage the specifications tab along with the files tab withthe custom tab plugin.
5. We extracted the data and populated the excel spreadsheet within required time.
