🎯 Before: The Manual Work Cycle
Every morning meant Excel spreadsheets, copy-pasting buyer data from Google Sheets, and tweaking email templates. A repetitive grind.
• ❌ Inventory tracking: 30 min/day
• ❌ Buyer list cleaning: 1 hour/week
• ❌ Email draft writing: 2 hours/week
• ❌ Order follow-ups: Ad-hoc (frequent misses)
40+ hours wasted monthly
