Hi, I'm Denis, a full-stack developer with experience building automation systems for e-commerce workflows. I understand you need a virtual assistant who can handle customer calls, manage product listings, and automate repetitive tasks across platforms like BigCommerce, Shopify, and Amazon. The focus is on improving efficiency through automation while maintaining reliability. I’ve worked on similar systems where manual data entry and cross-platform updates were streamlined using tools like Python, Google Apps Script, and automation platforms. For example, I built a system to sync inventory between Shopify and a warehouse management API, reducing errors and saving several hours per week. Here’s how I’d approach this: First, we’d review the current workflows to identify the most time-consuming manual tasks. Then, I’d design lightweight automations using tools like Make or n8n, starting with the highest-impact areas. Testing and documentation would be built in from the beginning, with a 30-day reliability period to ensure stability. For phone support, I’d use clear scripts and call logging to maintain consistency. A common challenge is handling edge cases in automation—like partial product data or API rate limits. I’d build in retries, logging, and manual fallback steps to keep things running smoothly. I can start working right away. Let's connect and discuss the details. Thanks, Denis.
