Client Overview- A US-Based Electrical Supply Distributor

The client is a US-based distributor of electrical components, including circuit breakers and related equipment. The company supplies products nationwide to customers who place orders through their e-commerce platform.

Their catalog includes a wide range of technical products where accuracy matters. Even small mistakes in part numbers or specifications can lead to incorrect orders and returns.

As their product range grew, the team found it harder to keep listings accurate and up to date. They needed a better way to manage product data without slowing down operations.

The Challenge - Manual Catalog Management Slowing Growth

We reviewed their catalog process and found several gaps that affected both speed and accuracy.

• Manual Product Updates

  The team handled product uploads and edits manually in Shopify. This took time and increased the chance of errors.

• Part Number Mismatches

  Product details did not always match the correct manufacturer part numbers. This created confusion and inaccurate listings.

• Delayed Pricing Updates

  Supplier price changes were not updated quickly. Some listings showed outdated pricing or availability.

• Difficulty Handling Large SKU Volumes

  As the catalog expanded, managing thousands of SKUs became harder to track and maintain.

• Inconsistent Product Formatting

  Product titles, descriptions, and specifications were not uniform. This affected both search visibility and user experience.

These issues led to incorrect listings, slower updates, and missed sales opportunities.
