    30+ years experience with my own award-winning shipping business, worked within our industry to train other shippers for more than ten years. They were taught at locations around the US to prepare and allow them to grow their own shipping business. Locally I worked with small business owners helping them with their shipping needs on who to use, what services to use, packaging type & requirements. Have extensive knowledge of UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS as well as freight carriers and their processes. Have learned the many tricks to auditing UPS, FedEx shipments and can identify when you are not receiving your full incentives and discounts. Their pricing systems are so complex it is very hard for the average shipper to know if they are receiving all the discounts they have earned. Despite no longer running my own shipping business I maintain contacts and relationships with shipping partners around the country. Since working in consulting I have been doing a huge amount of carrier auditing, you will want to make sure that you are taking advantage of all the incentives and discounts you are entitled to. I can quickly review your tariffs and invoices and see if there is anything missing or wrong.

    I have been working in Supply Chain Management for over 17 years now. After all these years managing inventory, purchases, proper balance between not too much stock & no risk of stock out, one thing I have for sure: supply chain management it's a highly complex subject! It's a very challenging area, and what gives me more enthusiasm is to have something complex in my hands and make it look simple. And you are only able to do that when you fully understand the overall process and participants. I'm a very pragmatic person, and my top technical skills are problem-solving, planning & process optimization, organization, being careful with detail, and analytical skills. Merit recognition across the career for the professionalism and capacity of keeping processes efficient and straightforward. In what soft skills are concerned, I would outline the capacity of listening, understanding, and create empathy with others (no matter who they are). These skills, along with my integrity, made me grow up professionally in a way that I'm very proud of. I would be pleased to help you develop tools for measuring Supply Chain KPIs, such as Forecast Accuracy, Inventory Cost, Inventory Turn, Stock Out, ABC Classification, Replenishment Excel tool (and so on). Also, to create a simple visual Dashboard that would help you to understand how good your Supply Chain is and how it has been improving.

    • I am a Top-Rated Plus Freelancer at Upwork. I have sourcing experience of 15+ years and have sourced all kinds of products. My Upwork sourcing service scope includes but is not limited to the following: 1. Product Sourcing in China: Source different suppliers from various channels like Alibaba, AliExpress, Chian internal Alibaba, Taobao, Pingduoduo, Made-in-China, and myriad on-site locations...at least screen more than 5 suppliers to get their prices for comparison, and ensure that we will get the best price with high quality; 2. Sample Testing: Get samples from 2 to 3 suppliers, check or test them, and ship the selected ones to me for review and approval; 3. Production Monitor: I will closely monitor the production process during production and share the production pictures/ videos with the clients. 4. Quality Control: I can help arrange the inspection before shipping once the production is done. 5. Logistics: Once the shipment inspection is approved, I can contact multiple forwarders to get the best quote for the clients and ensure their interest. I will follow up and forward shipment tracking information until the products are received in good condition and complete. 6. All process Follow-up From the start until the clients receive the order 7. My method for managing supplier communications--shared chat group after I accept the Upwork contract After I find some qualified suppliers, I can set up chat groups that loop you and the suppliers. I will talk about the customized requests, MOQ, and prices with the suppliers in the chat group so you can stay informed and involved as needed. You can be dormant and keep an eye on my communication with the supplier. You can ask the suppliers any questions in the chat group if you want. This setup will be ideal for a smooth flow of information.
