Trusted By National CPG Brands, Wholesale Distributors & Key Account Directors
"We expanded into 1,800 Target doors and 2,400 Walmart locations simultaneously. My account executives were spending 20 hours a week pulling POS data and disputing invalid OTIF fines. Sagedoer placed a dedicated assistant who runs our Greenfield pulls and disputes deductions in Retail Link. We recovered $43k in chargebacks in Q3 alone."
"SPS Commerce and TrueCommerce EDI order processing used to cause endless headaches when orders surged. Our Sagedoer VA processes EDI 850 orders, creates 856 ASNs with accurate GS1-128 barcode labels, and matches invoices to 810 documents without missing routing deadlines. Our buyer scorecards are sitting at green across the board."
"Amazon Vendor Central chargebacks for late ASN and barcode compliance were eroding our operating margin. Having a trained assistant monitoring our purchase orders, scheduling freight carrier appointments, and managing 1WorldSync item specifications gave our sales team their freedom back."
"Our dedicated project manager is the real difference. When our assistant needed to adapt to Kroger's vendor portal changes and new packaging specs in Salsify, the PM handled the onboarding and QA checks without me stepping in. At $6/hour, the ROI is unmatched."
