What Your Greengrocer Virtual Assistant Executes Daily
Free up 20 to 30 hours every week from pre-dawn order entries, market invoice reconciliations, and custom box logistics so you can focus on building grower relationships, inspecting fresh produce quality, and serving local customers.
Pre-Dawn Order Intake, Catch-Weights & Chef Invoicing
Never miss a midnight chef order or lose profit on estimated weights. We aggregate orders from Fresho, Choco, WhatsApp, and voicemail before morning cutting begins, matching real scale weights directly to final restaurant invoices.
- Consolidating late-night chef texts into unified morning pack sheets
- Updating scale catch-weights across bulk crates, melons, herbs & root veg
- Dispatching accurate PDF invoices to hospitality accounting desks by 7:00 AM
PLU Price Books, Daily Market Rates & E-Commerce Updates
Protect your gross margins against volatile terminal market spikes. We update daily selling prices across Square, Shopify POS, and online storefronts, maintaining correct 4-digit and 5-digit PLU codes for organic and conventional produce.
- Updating organic (9xxxx) and conventional PLU codes across POS registers
- Adjusting per-lb and per-kg prices according to morning wholesale auction costs
- Deactivating sold-out seasonal produce online to prevent checkout refunds
CSA Veg Box Subscriptions, Custom Swaps & Add-Ons
Scale your weekly community farm box revenue without drowning in customer emails. We manage subscriber preferences in Harvie, Farmigo, or Shopify, accommodating vegetable dislikes, vacation skips, and artisanal pantry add-ons.
- Processing member vegetable preference swaps, size changes & vacation holds
- Generating categorized packing station pick lists (leafy greens, root veg, fruits)
- Managing automated recurring credit card billings and dunning recovery
Van Route Optimization, Driver Manifests & Drop Proof
Ensure fresh berries and crisp greens arrive before restaurant lunch prep and residential doorsteps wilt. We optimize multi-stop van delivery routes in Routific or Circuit, verify gate codes, and send automated tracking texts.
- Sequencing routes according to restaurant delivery windows and traffic buffers
- Dispatching live digital manifests to driver smartphones with gate access notes
- Archiving driver porch delivery photos and notifying customers of arrival
Terminal Market PO Audits & Short-Weight Claims
Stop absorbing losses for damaged pallets or short-weight crates. We reconcile wholesale terminal market invoices (Hunts Point, New Covent Garden, local growers) against receiving scale logs, filing credit claims immediately.
- Three-way matching vendor electronic bills, purchase orders & receiving sheets
- Filing instant credit requests with photos for crushed fruit or spoiled produce
- Reconciling vendor statements in QuickBooks to ensure credits are applied
Traceability, Spoilage Tracking & Harvest Newsletters
Maintain strict food safety compliance while cultivating a loyal community. We log cooler temperature checks, audit daily cull/shrinkage percentages, and format weekly seasonal harvest emails with storage tips.
- Logging daily spoilage and waste logs to identify unprofitable crop lines
- Maintaining FSMA 204 lot traceability and organic certification records
- Designing weekly recipe newsletters in Klaviyo or Mailchimp to drive sales

"Every morning at 4:30 AM, I was stuck entering late-night chef orders from WhatsApp and Choco into Fresho while my truck drivers waited on the dock. SageDoer's assistant organizes all incoming orders into consolidated pick sheets by 5:00 AM, matches catch-weights, and sends invoices. I finally get normal sleep."
Liam Haverford
Founder, Valley Harvest Produce Purveyors (San Francisco)
"We run an organic grocery market and deliver 350 weekly customized CSA veg boxes. Handling individual customer item swaps in Harvie and building delivery routes in Routific used to take 20 hours a week. SageDoer manages member swaps and generates packing manifests with zero mistakes."

Co-Owner, Meadowbrook Farm Market & Veg Boxes (Bristol / UK)
"Reconciling daily Hunts Point Terminal Market invoices against receiving scale tickets was our biggest financial leak. In our first 60 days, our SageDoer VA caught over $3,800 in short-shipped berry crates and damaged stone fruit that our suppliers credited immediately."
Antonio Rossi
General Manager, Rossi & Sons Fine Produce (Brooklyn / NYC)
"Updating PLU codes between organic and conventional produce in Square POS and Shopify was always messy. Having an operations pod that handles our price books, logs daily cull shrinkage, and schedules our weekly harvest email newsletter at $6/hr is unbeatable."
