Hello there!
Today, I'd like to talk about a program that generates inventory data for available products based on CSV inventory data from Yahoo and Rakuten.
This program serves as a valuable tool in enhancing client efficiency by streamlining their operations.

I recently received a request from a client regarding their shop management operations on Yahoo and Rakuten platforms.
The client manages their shop inventory by referencing inventory data from various manufacturers.
These inventory datasets are provided in CSV or Excel formats, allowing for flexible linking based on not only product codes but also other specified criteria.
Some products require exceptional inventory management, such as maintaining a specified inventory level or preventing changes in inventory quantity.
The program is designed to handle such specifications seamlessly.
Moreover, the program simultaneously reconciles inventory data from Yahoo and Rakuten, enabling verification of inventory disparities between both platforms.

A CSV file, short for Comma-Separated Values, is a file format used to represent tabular data, making it easily editable and viewable in applications like Excel or text editors.
By utilizing this program, the manual task of reconciling inventory data from Yahoo and Rakuten is automated.
What once required three weekly sessions now takes just 10 minutes a day, significantly improving both the efficiency and accuracy of inventory management.
Manual errors that occurred previously have also been greatly reduced, further enhancing operational efficiency.

The development cost for such a program, capable of data processing and file output, typically ranges from $140 to $200.
Automating inventory management has led to improved efficiency for the client, significantly reducing the time spent on manual tasks.
With reduced manual workload and improved accuracy, the client's operational processes are expected to become smoother.
If you're facing similar challenges, feel free to reach out for a consultation anytime.
