From PLM to Shopify in One Prompt: Building Sync Check with reShapr
· 8 min read
Every season, the team at a fashion brand I worked with has to get product and price data from its PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) system into several Shopify stores. Until recently, that meant manual edits and spreadsheet imports: a few minutes per SKU, per store, multiplied across every store and every season.
Today, someone on the team types "Sync Mila Leather Black to Retail for SS27" into their AI assistant (like Claude, Codex, etc.), and it's done.
I'm an independent automation consultant, and I built the connector behind that sentence, which I called Sync Check, on reShapr. I didn't write an MCP server to do it. Here's how it came together, and why reShapr was the right tool for the job.
