Automatically flag and disable unsold products with email approval

Finds products with zero sales in the past year, asks for your approval by email, then disables them for you.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Your online catalog quietly fills up with products that haven't sold in a year, and finding them means digging through order history by hand. Removing the wrong product by mistake is a real risk if you're rushing through the cleanup.

Who it fits

Ecommerce managers or agencies running a Magento store who want a leaner product catalog.

How it works

  1. On the first of every month, the cleanup runs automatically
  2. The last 12 months of orders are checked to see what actually sold
  3. Unsold products are compared against the full catalog
  4. You receive an email report to approve or decline the changes
  5. Once approved, those products are disabled and a confirmation email is sent
What you get

Unsold products cleared with one approval click

You get a monthly email flagging products that haven't sold all year, so you can approve a leaner catalog in one click.

What you get

A monthly report of unsold products and an updated catalog with dead listings disabled.

What you need

A Magento store with API access and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
