We are an online Shopify retailer that works with over 40 partners and manufacturers and as a result, we have thousands of products and SKUs that need to consistently be up to date to match the pricing and product specifications on our partners’ websites as well as being alerted to any products that are either newly added, or discontinued. To ensure our product data remains accurate and up-to-date across platforms, we seek assistance in two key areas:
? Web Scraping: Scraping partner websites to monitor all product changes, including new additions and discontinued items.
? Shopify Automation: Developing a system to integrate scraped data into either directly sent to Shopify to update our existing products or into a format that we can bulk update directly to Shopify ourselves, and notify us of any new or removed products.
Our existing team that would use this system is not proficient in coding or scripting so we want to use pre-existing systems or software as much as possible along with documentation and instruction so that our team will be able to update or expand this system as necessary. We are not opposed to the idea of custom solutions, but it does need to be future and issue proof along with all the proper documentation should we need to expand or repair it down the line so as such they are not as desirable to us.

c) Duration: This is a single project/short-term assignment.
