360 ELECTRICAL
Refined the implementation of the Netsuite ERP, and further implemented the Demand Planning, Planning & Budgeting, and Manufacturing & Assembly modules. Oversaw the integration of Netsuite with Shopify via the Boomi platform, and integrated over 90% of our active customers with EDI automation, including automating documents between Netsuite and our warehouse's WMS. Created the digital infrastructure for new revenue channels, i.e., drop ship. Automated transaction processing wherever practical and feasible in Netsuite.
Continuously pursued and implemented various cost-saving initiatives and other value-add measures across the supply chain. Reworked our small parcel agreements to achieve a 37% cost reduction. Responded to rapidly changing market conditions on TPEB lanes to ensure best available transit times during peak demand. Negotiated a 7% cost reduction on outbound LTL/FTL deliveries during a period of low equipment availability & increasing FSCs. Transitioned to a new warehouse and achieved over 30% cost savings on warehousing and fulfillment.
Brought 360 Electrical from the brink of potentially losing our bank relationship in 2018 through rapid and vigorous inventory management overhaul. Identified, vetted, and moved to a new warehouse within 3 months of determining poor management and limited capabilities with existing warehouse. Implemented ABC cycle counting after full physical inventories and reconciliations. Hired an outstanding inventory manager to carry forward and continue to improve upon the strides made in cleaning up our inventory management processes.

Implemented structure & compliance with general industry standards throughout the organization. Sourced customs brokerage firm to ensure trade compliance on all inbound and outbound international shipments, including securing carnets, exports and imports of coffee & tea, and exports and imports of machines & machine parts.

Initiated trade compliance projects including complete HTS code review for import into the US and Canada, Canadian duty drawback program, and protest filings for 2013 entries. Filed amendments resulting in $46K in recoveries from the CBSA.
Sourced and transitioned to a new domestic warehouse to manage inventory and fulfillment operations for the Americas.
