Stop overselling limited handmade goods. We balance stock between your physical brick-and-mortar storefront, Shopify store, and Etsy shop, tracking low-stock alert thresholds and flagging deadstock.
- Real-time inventory matching across Square, Shopify POS & Etsy
- Setting automatic low-inventory reorder alerts for best-selling items
- Generating monthly slow-mover and deadstock reports for markdown sales

"We stock over 2,500 distinct items from 90 different independent makers on Faire. Ingesting new products, building variant tags, and printing barcode labels in Square used to take my entire Sunday. My SageDoer VA takes vendor catalogs, maps them into Square, and generates barcode sheets in hours. Total game changer."
Claire Lindley
Founder, The Curated Nest Boutique (Charleston)
"Between our brick-and-mortar storefront and our Shopify store, keeping inventory in sync was an endless nightmare. We were constantly having to cancel orders because someone bought the last candle off the shelf. SageDoer keeps our multi-channel inventory reconciled daily. Zero oversells in 6 months."
Marcus Ross
Owner, Highline Mercantile & Gifts (Denver)
"Our Q4 corporate gift box orders went from 120 boxes to 850 boxes. There is zero chance my team could have handled the personalized gift card notes, address verifications, and ShipStation batch tracking without SageDoer. Having a Dedicated PM audit every shipment gave us 100% on-time delivery."
Sophia Hernandez
Co-Founder, Artisanal Box Co. (Seattle)
"Freelance gig sites were useless for our boutique—freelancers who didn't understand why greeting cards need spinner rack categories or how damaged Faire shipments need immediate photo proof. Having a PM oversee our VA's daily task list is unmatched. At $6/hr, it pays for itself thirty times over."
