AK Alloys
Automating high-volume product updates for a wholesale metal supplier.
//The Challenge
AK Alloys received a supplier sheet every month with thousands of products, and the team had to manually upload new listings and update existing ones for prices and quantities. What should have been a routine operations task became a heavy, repetitive workload that consumed hours each month and left room for costly mistakes.
//What We Built
We built a Shopify automation using the Shopify API to ingest the supplier data, map it to the catalog, create new products, and update stock and pricing for existing ones automatically. The process was streamlined into a reliable monthly workflow that cut the work from roughly 80–100 hours down to about 15 minutes.
//The Outcome
15 mins
Monthly sync cycle
