Managing 200+ SKUs in WooCommerce isn’t a walk in the park, even if your business literally builds outdoor fitness parks.
 
For Arno Driemeyer and the TOLYMP team, updating prices, stock, and variations for 200+ stainless-steel products felt like an endurance workout where the reps just wouldn’t end.
 
That’s when the Smart Manager stepped in and WooCommerce product management got lighter, faster, and way more efficient.
 
Let’s get started.

What struggles TOLYMP faced before discovering Smart Manager?

Running a WooCommerce store with 200+ stainless-steel products sounds impressive but behind the scenes, it was exhausting. 
 
Arno and his team struggled with:

  • Editing prices, stock levels, or product attributes meant opening each product page individually.
  • Bulk updates were slow or depended on complex CSV exports/imports.
  • Filtering and searching products by attributes (material, category, dimensions, etc.) was cumbersome.
  • Tracking and updating orders had to be done manually, taking up a lot of time.
  • Managing variations and related products was tedious.

In short, without proper WooCommerce product management, store management was eating up precious hours every week. 

How did TOLYMP discover Smart Manager?

Before Smart Manager, Arno used “Product Bulk Editor for WooCommerce” plugin, but it was limited and complicated to use.

And when managing products started eating too much time, Arno went looking for a faster way. 
 
He searched for terms like “WooCommerce bulk edit products” and “spreadsheet editor for WooCommerce”. And everything kept pointing for better WooCommerce product management solution – Smart Manager.
 
It showed up in blog reviews, YouTube tutorials, and WooCommerce forum recommendations. 
 
With so many store owners vouching for it, TOLYMP added it to their shortlist of tools to evaluate.

Why did TOLYMP choose Smart Manager?

Arno and his team tried exploring different WooCommerce admin tools, but none really clicked. 
 
Some were too slow, others lacked the features they needed, and a few required complicated setups that only added to the workload.
 
Smart Manager stood out because it offered everything in one place:

  • A spreadsheet-like interface that felt instantly familiar and easy to use.
  • Bulk editing power without relying on clunky CSV imports/exports.
  • The ability to manage products, variations, orders, and customers seamlessly from one dashboard.
  • Reliable performance that didn’t slow down, even with hundreds of products in play.

Here’s how Arno and his team use it today:

  • Bulk price updates: Changing prices for 100+ products now takes under 1 minute—a task that previously dragged on for 30 minutes or more.
  • Quick stock management: After large deliveries, they can update inventory levels across dozens of products instantly.
  • Variation editing simplified: No more clicking through each variation—everything can be managed in one spreadsheet-style view.
  • Faster order handling: Orders are filtered, updated, and processed in bulk without switching screens.
  • Greater accuracy: With all data visible in one place, human errors have dropped significantly.
