When product data entry services are the right fit And when your catalog needs something else first
A good fit when
- New ranges wait weeks to go live because listings take so long
- Shoppers can't filter your catalog because attributes are missing
- You sell on several marketplaces and the listings drift apart
Look elsewhere when
- You want competitors' prices and listings tracked: see retail and ecommerce data collection
- Your product records need cleaning and standardizing first: see data standardization
- You need the store itself built or rebuilt
Our product data entry services in detail Each part of the catalog work, and what you get back
Extracting product information
Product information arrives in supplier spreadsheets, PDF spec sheets, packaging photos and manufacturer websites, and rarely in the same shape twice. Agents pull each fact from its source and record where it came from.
When two sources disagree, such as two different weights, the item goes to a person instead of the listing.
Writing and updating product descriptions
We write product titles and descriptions to your style guide, with the words shoppers search for. A person reviews each new description before it's published, and we update existing ones when a product changes.
Adding and removing product specifications
Specifications, images, features, offers and sale details change through the season. We add, change and remove them across your catalog, so a discontinued size or an old price doesn't stay live.
Product categorization and tagging
Each product goes into the category and tags your store uses, with every attribute its filters need. A shopper filtering for a size and a color finds every product that matches, not just the ones someone remembered to tag.
Product data entry for cross-selling and up-selling
Related products, accessories and better versions are linked on each listing. We set the links from rules you give us, such as matching collections, compatible parts or the next size up.
Keying information into ecommerce platforms
We key listings straight into Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or your product information system. For bulk work we prepare the platform's import file, and check the listings after it loads.
- Amazon product data entry to each category's template
- Bulk import files built and checked
- Listings kept in step across marketplaces
Questions about product data entry services What ecommerce teams ask us before the first range
What are product data entry services?
Product data entry services build and update the listings in an online catalog: titles, descriptions, attributes, prices, images and categories. Ecommerce product data entry services also keep listings in step across the stores and marketplaces you sell on.
Which ecommerce platforms do you work with?
We work in Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and most product information systems. We key into the platform through accounts you create, or prepare its bulk import file.
Can you write SEO product descriptions?
Yes. We write titles and descriptions to your style guide, using the words shoppers search for, and a person reviews each one before it's published.
How do you keep catalog data entry accurate?
Each category has a template that names its attributes and formats, and agents fill listings against it. Conflicting or missing facts go to a trained reviewer, and the batch owner checks a sample before anything goes live.
How much do product data entry services cost?
Damco prices product data entry per SKU or per listing, not per hour. We quote after the sample batch, once we know how many attributes your categories carry and how much writing each listing needs.
