What Your Merchandise Manager Virtual Assistant Executes Daily

Merchandise directors shouldn't spend 20 hours a week on SKU spreadsheets, line sheets, and PO follow-ups. Delegate the operational grind to vetted specialists.

01

SKU Catalog & Variant Setup

Flawless entry across multi-channel stores. We build matrix variants, assign parent-child relationships, map barcodes (UPC/EAN), and keep PIM files synchronized.

  • ✔ Matrix SKU generation (size, color, inseam, material)
  • ✔ UPC/EAN barcode assignment & line sheet creation
  • ✔ Bulk CSV imports into Shopify, NetSuite & Amazon
02

PO Generation & Vendor Management

Eliminate late vendor deliveries and billing discrepancies. We generate purchase orders, track factory ex-factory dates, and reconcile inbound receipts.

  • ✔ Creating, revising & tracking purchase orders in ERP
  • ✔ Chasing overseas supplier production milestones
  • ✔ Reconciling vendor invoices against warehouse ASNs
03

Digital Shelf & Category Sorting

Maximize average order value (AOV) and conversion. We arrange collection pages, establish smart product filters, configure cross-sells, and feature high-margin styles.

  • ✔ Optimizing Shopify collection sort rules (Margin / Velocity)
  • ✔ Tagging related products, bundles & checkout cross-sells
  • ✔ Setting out-of-stock badges and pre-order lead times
04

OTB Support & Re-order Alerts

Never lose revenue to preventable stockouts. We monitor safety stock levels, calculate weeks-of-supply (WOS), and prepare restock recommendations for your approval.

  • ✔ Weekly Weeks-of-Supply (WOS) & sell-through calculations
  • ✔ Low-stock warnings across 3PL warehouse nodes
  • ✔ Dead-stock & aging inventory identification for clearance
05

Promotional Calendars & Markdowns

Seamless execution for seasonal sales, Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and flash clearance events. We schedule compare-at prices and discount tags without pricing errors.

  • ✔ Scheduled bulk price updates via CSV or Launchpad
  • ✔ Staging promo discount codes & tiered volume rules
  • ✔ Competitor retail pricing sweeps & MAP compliance checks
06

Sales, GMV & Gross Margin Reporting

Start Monday mornings with verified numbers. Your assistant consolidates sales units, GMV, return rates, and gross margin by category into clean executive summaries.

  • ✔ Daily & weekly flash reports across retail channels
  • ✔ Return rate tracking and high-defective SKU audits
  • ✔ Category contribution margin & revenue breakdowns

Clarifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers on how our managed virtual assistants support retail and e-commerce merchandise teams.

Your Project Manager is your single operational touchpoint. Rather than spending your valuable time training, supervising, and spot-checking CSV files, you communicate priorities directly to your PM. They perform quality audits on SKU data, verify barcode assignments against your line sheets, and ensure deadlines are met before any changes affect your live sales channels. You only pay for the assistant's productive output—the PM oversight is 100% free.
Yes. Our merchandising VAs routinely generate purchase orders in systems like NetSuite, Cin7, or QuickBooks Commerce, confirm FOB/ex-factory delivery windows with domestic and overseas manufacturers, monitor production timelines, and cross-reference bill of ladings (BOL) against 3PL warehouse ASN receiving slips.
We enforce strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) prior to accessing your systems. Access is provisioned via role-restricted accounts or secure password vaults (1Password, LastPass). We never share unreleased designs, pricing architecture, or supplier contract terms outside your private environment.
None. Unlike freelance marketplaces that charge 20% to 40% in platform cuts or recurring client fees, SageDoer charges strictly the published hourly rate ($7/hr part-time or $6/hr full-time). There are zero onboarding fees, no contract lock-ins, and zero software surcharges.
Because SageDoer is a fully managed service, your Project Manager maintains standardized operational documentation (SOPs) for your catalog structure, naming conventions, and PO workflows. If your assistant is sick or unavailable, your PM immediately deploys a qualified internal replacement to prevent any launch delays.
