Real problems. Measurable improvements.

Every project begins with a specific operational challenge. These examples show how the problem was approached and what changed once the solution was introduced.

CASE 01 · CUSTOM SOFTWARE & AUTOMATION

Automating a daily multi-supplier pricing workflow

A growing product catalogue and dozens of differently formatted supplier files turned daily pricing preparation into a time-consuming process that had to be completed before business opened.

The challenge

The client received more than 50 supplier pricing and inventory files in different formats. The information had to be cleaned, compared and reviewed manually, while exact product-identifier matching limited the accuracy of applying supplier pricing.

What changed

AUTOSCRIPTX developed an automated data-processing PIM that formats and centralises the supplier information, maps differing supplier SKUs, imports supplier feeds from exchange and API feeds, compares pricing and stock daily, and prepares the product catalogue for controlled review.

The result

60+

Supplier files formatted and centralised

±10,000

Products accommodated by the pricing catalogue

±2.15 hours

Daily preparation and review, reduced from approximately 2½ hours to 15 mins

±95%

Pricing-match accuracy after supplier SKU mapping

CASE 02 · CUSTOM SOFTWARE & AUTOMATION

Developing Windows-based Image Converter

Publishing large product updates required hundreds of images to be resized, optimised and converted before they could be added to the client’s WooCommerce catalogue

The challenge

The client needed to prepare more than 400 product images each month. Editing every image individually made catalogue updates slow and inconsistent, while WooCommerce required suitable dimensions, file sizes and formats.

What changed

AUTOSCRIPTX developed a custom Python desktop application that processes product images in batches from a CSV file. The application resizes and compresses images, converts them to formats such as WebP, preserves their aspect ratio or applies square padding, and can upload the completed files to Cloudinary for URL retrieval.

The result

400+

Product images prepared during monthly catalogue updates

1 CSV

Used to control an entire batch-processing workflow

Multiple formats

Images converted to JPG, PNG or WebP from any image format as required

Consistent output

Uniform dimensions, compression and presentation across the catalogue

Working software is only the beginning

A feature can work perfectly in a demonstration and still fail under real users, unexpected data, changing requirements or production conditions. Dependable solutions must account for what happens beyond the expected path.

Complete the expected task

It should also handle incorrect information, unusual conditions and failures safely.

Work during a demonstration

It should also perform with realistic users, devices, permissions and data volumes.

Connect to another platform

It should also validate, record and reconcile the information moving between systems.

Launch successfully

It should also be maintainable, recoverable and transferable after delivery.

When does a business need a different approach?

The correct solution depends on the process, the people using it, the systems involved and the result the business needs to achieve.

When should a business consider custom software?

Custom software becomes worth considering when important work depends on repeated workarounds, generic platforms cannot support essential business rules or several disconnected tools are required to complete one process. The decision should be based on operational value rather than novelty.

Which business processes are suitable for automation?

Processes are strong automation candidates when they are repeated frequently, follow identifiable rules and consume significant time or introduce avoidable errors. Reporting, data imports, pricing updates, document generation and scheduled processing are common examples.

What does technical SEO improve?

Technical SEO helps search engines crawl, interpret and index a website correctly. It can include website architecture, internal linking, canonicalisation, redirects, performance, structured data and the removal or consolidation of low-value URL structures.

Can software, automation and SEO form part of the same project?

Yes. An ecommerce project may involve a custom internal system, automated product synchronisation and improvements to the website’s search structure. These areas often work together because operational data, website functionality and organic visibility are connected.
