You’ll be amazed at what our online store management services can do for your business.

1. Ecommerce Manager

Owns the P&L, sets strategy and keeps every piece of your online store working toward growth. Responsibilities:

• Define, track and report on key metrics (revenue, AOV, LTV, churn)
• Build and manage the promotional calendar (sales, product launches, flash deals)
• Coordinate between Marketing, Design, Dev/IT and any external partners
• Negotiate and manage vendor contracts (fulfillment, gateways, third-party apps)
• Create the quarterly roadmap, budget plans and ROI forecasts
• Serve as the single point of contact between the business owner and all teams, translating strategic goals into clear actions and ensuring aligned execution

2. Marketing Specialist

Drives qualified traffic, nurtures leads and maximizes on-site conversions via organic and owned channels. Responsibilities:

• Conduct ongoing SEO audits and implement on-page & technical optimizations (keyword research, meta tags, site structure, internal linking)
• Architect email and SMS flows (welcome series, cart recovery, re-engagement campaigns)
• Write and A/B-test on-site copy (product pages, landing pages, CTAs)
• Optimize product feeds and listings for Google Merchant Center, Amazon and other marketplaces
• Run conversion-rate-optimization experiments (A/B tests on headlines, layouts, promo offers)
• Extract insights from Google Analytics, UTM data and Search Console to refine strategy

3. Dev & IT Specialist

Keeps your store secure, fast and glitch-free so nothing stands between a visitor and checkout. Responsibilities:

• Apply security patches and platform updates; monitor uptime and error logs
• Develop and tweak front-end templates, custom features and back-end integrations
• Monitor and optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) and address performance bottlenecks
• Troubleshoot bugs, payment failures and cart-abandonment issues
• Install, configure and maintain third-party apps (reviews, subscriptions, loyalty programs)

4. Graphic Designer

Creates all the visual assets that make your emails, ads and pages feel on-brand and compelling. Responsibilities:

• Design email headers, modular template blocks and promotional banners
• Produce ad creative (static images or simple animations) that drive clicks
• Craft infographics, “how it works” visuals and landing-page graphics
• Maintain and evolve your style guide (colors, typography, imagery) for consistency
• Rapidly iterate on designs for A/B tests and seasonal promotions

Imagine choosing between hiring four full‐time specialists—recruiting, training and managing each one—versus tapping into a seasoned team on demand. In a ground-breaking study conducted by the Standford Global Supply Chain Management Forum with focus on Improving Business Performance, and specifically on e-commerce outsourcing, 83% of participating companies, using outsourced B2B services allowed them to increase their technical capabilities and flexibilities.

With an in‐house crew, you’re locked into fixed salaries, benefits, office space and the endless cycle of performance reviews. Outsourcing flips that script: you get immediate access to senior‐level Ecommerce Managers, Marketers, Dev & IT experts and Designers without the overhead, and you only draw on the capacity you actually need. Which path lets you spend your energy on strategy and growth instead of HR paperwork and payroll forecasts?

You can use our calculator below to estimate the cost between hiring an in-house team vs outsourcing the management work of your ecommerce website.

With Trepoly’s all-inclusive eCommerce Management plans, you don’t get four fixed, full-time hires—you get a flexible pool of specialists you can scale up or down as your business demands. Need heavy front-end tweaks for a site redesign one month? Our Dev & IT team handles it. Launching a big promotion the next month? Your Marketing Specialist and Graphic Designer jump into action. Meanwhile, your dedicated Ecommerce Manager orchestrates priorities, shifting resources between roles so you’re never over- or under-staffed. All of this comes in one flat monthly plan—no surprise hourly fees, no idle headcount, no long-term contracts—just elastic expertise that flexes with your workload.

After crunching the numbers, it’s clear that the combined cost of four full-time in-house specialists often exceeds Trepoly’s all-inclusive management plans—yet you still get top-tier expertise and razor-sharp focus on growth. Imagine reallocating those overhead dollars into product innovation, marketing experiments or scaling into new markets. What could you achieve if you never had to worry about hiring, training or supervising again—and instead spent every hour driving your business forward?
