E-commerce Data Management & Product Listing

Project Title: Complete Product Research, Data Collection and Upload of Nearly 10,000 Branded Products
Project Overview

We are looking for an experienced freelancer to manage the complete product research, data collection, preparation, and upload process for nearly 10,000 branded products on our online store.

We will only provide the brand names and the specific product ranges we want. All product research and data collection will be your responsibility.

We do not have prepared product data, spreadsheets, product images, descriptions, specifications, or pricing information. We expect the freelancer to independently research and source all the necessary information from suitable online sources and complete the entire process from start to finish.

We are not looking for someone who simply uploads information provided by us. We need someone who can independently find the right products, collect the required information, prepare professional product listings, and upload them correctly to our store.

Scope of Work
1. Independent Product Research and Data Collection

We will provide the brand names and the product ranges we require. You will be responsible for identifying and researching the relevant products within those ranges.

You must independently source the information needed to create complete product listings. You are not restricted to the brand's official website or product catalogue. You may use other reliable and appropriate sources, distributors, suppliers, product databases, and online retailers to gather and cross-check information.

You will be responsible for:

Identifying the relevant products within each specified brand and range.
Collecting accurate product names, model numbers, SKUs and barcodes where available.
Finding detailed descriptions, features, specifications and technical information.
Researching product images and finding suitable high-quality photographs.
Finding available prices and verifying their source, market and currency.
Collecting product dimensions, weight, materials, colours, sizes and other relevant details where available.
Identifying product variations and compatible options.
Organising all collected information into a structured format suitable for uploading.
Checking information against reliable sources and avoiding duplicates.

We will not provide the product information. Finding, verifying, organising and preparing the data is entirely your responsibility.

2. Complete Product Information

Each product listing must contain as much relevant and verifiable information as is reasonably available, including:

Product title and brand.
SKU, model number and barcode, where available.
Detailed product description.
Key features and selling points.
Technical specifications and product attributes.
Product category and subcategory.
High-quality product photographs, with multiple views where available.
Sizes, colours, styles and other variations.
Retail price and sale price, where applicable and verifiable.
Product dimensions and weight, where available.
SEO-friendly product titles and descriptions.
Other fields required by our online store.

Information must be accurate and relevant to the exact product. Missing details must not be invented or copied from unrelated products.

3. Product Images and Pricing

You must independently find suitable product images and pricing information from reliable sources.

Images must match the exact product and model and be suitable for our intended commercial use. You must ensure that the relevant permissions or licences allow their use.

Prices must be checked carefully. Where prices differ between sources, currencies or markets, you must identify the source and flag any uncertainty rather than enter misleading information.

4. Product Upload

Once the research and data collection are complete, you will upload the products to our online store.

This includes:

Creating product listings.
Entering the collected information into the correct fields.
Uploading and assigning images.
Setting up categories, brands, attributes and variations.
Entering verified pricing information.
Completing the relevant SEO fields.
Checking product pages after uploading.
Correcting errors and ensuring consistency.

The goal is to deliver complete, accurate and professionally presented product listings that are ready for our review and publication.

5. Quality Control and Progress Reporting

You must maintain a master spreadsheet or equivalent tracking system showing the products researched, data collected, uploaded and checked.

Each batch must be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, image matching, duplicate listings and correct formatting before it is submitted for approval.

Products with unavailable or unverified information must be clearly flagged.

Freelancer Requirements

Applicants must have experience in e-commerce product research, large-scale product listing, data collection and online store management.

Experience with Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, CSV imports, product feeds and approved automation tools is an advantage.

You must be able to work independently, manage a large volume of products, cross-check information from multiple sources and deliver accurate results without requiring us to collect or prepare the data.

Please Include in Your Proposal
Your experience with similar product research and upload projects.
Your proposed method for independently finding product data.
The sources and tools you would use to collect and verify information.
Your proposed workflow for handling nearly 10,000 products.
Your price per completed and approved product.
Your estimated total project cost and delivery timeline.
Your expected daily or weekly output.
Your quality-control process and examples of previous work.

6. Correct Product Categorisation and Organisation

Every product must be assigned to the correct and most relevant category and subcategory within our online store.

The freelancer will be responsible for researching, identifying and assigning the appropriate categories for every product based on its actual type, purpose, specifications and product range.

This includes:

Assigning every product to the correct main category and subcategory.
Ensuring products are organised under the appropriate brand and product type.
Selecting the correct attributes, tags and filters wherever applicable.
Ensuring product variations are organised correctly.
Avoiding incorrect, irrelevant or overly broad categories.
Maintaining consistent categorisation across all brands and product ranges.
Checking category assignments before completing each batch.

Correct categorisation is a mandatory requirement for every product. Products must not simply be uploaded into a general or miscellaneous category. The freelancer must ensure that each listing is properly organised so customers can easily find products through our store's navigation, category pages and filters.

The freelancer must check and correct any categorisation errors before submitting the completed products for approval.

Please clearly state whether your price includes the complete research and data collection process, image sourcing, listing preparation, uploading and quality checking.

We are looking for a freelancer who can take full responsibility for the project from start to finish. We will provide the brand names and product ranges, and you will handle the rest.

We intend to establish a long-term working relationship with the right freelancer, subject to quality, accuracy, pricing and delivery performance.
