Tacoma Furniture – Zapier Automation That Reduced Manual Product Operations by ~80%

Hero Image

Project Overview

Tacoma Furniture needed a more efficient way to manage product onboarding and data cleanup. Manual product uploads, corrections, and review steps were taking too much operational effort and slowing down merchandising workflows. Webgarh implemented an automation setup using Zapier, Airtable, and the Google Search API to streamline product data handling from upload through approval and publishing. The result was a more structured workflow that saved ~80% manual effort, improved product data quality, and supported stronger product visibility.
