IMPROVEMENTS

Created a master spreadsheet containing all inventory suppliers' contact information and lead times, streamlining PO placement and vendor communication. By eliminating the need to search through emails, files, and past orders for supplier details, the tool reduced information lookup time by an estimated 5-10 minutes per transaction and improved overall purchasing efficiency.
