Sales & Operations Support
Scalable, Flexible Help for Your Retail Ecommerce channels
At Bearing, we provide tailored support for sales and operational management across retail ecommerce platforms. Whether you need full channel oversight or help with specific workflows like forecasting or catalog management, we’ll build a custom scope that fits your internal structure and business goals. Our approach is rooted in transparency: we highlight which areas are core, which can be added or removed, and which we believe are best handled by your internal teams.
Who Is This For?
-
Brands managing multiple retail platforms who need consistent reporting, forecasting, and planning support.
-
Teams struggling to keep up with day-to-day sales operations like catalog updates, promotions, or KPI monitoring.
-
Brands ready to professionalize their ecommerce operations but not looking to build out a full internal team.
-
Leaders looking for clarity and insight, not just execution — we’ll help you spot what’s working, what’s not, and where the best leverage points are.
-
Companies that value flexible partnerships — we don’t offer bloated retainers for unused services. We plug in where needed and adapt as your business evolves.
What Sets Us Apart?
-
Senior Talent Only: Our team is made up of experienced professionals — former Amazon vendor team members and brand-side ecommerce leaders. No junior generalists.
-
Custom-Built Support: We share our full service menu and work with you to remove what’s unnecessary or better handled in-house.
-
Tool-Agnostic Partnership: We can work within your existing tech stack or recommend improvements — but you retain ownership and flexibility.
-
No Long-Term Lock-Ins: Like our other services, this offering is built on partnership and results — not restrictive contracts.
-
Transparency on Ownership: We’ll always let you know which tasks we believe are critical to keep in-house for long-term brand strength.
