I eliminated those tasks entirely by developing custom integrations for all banks and information sources into Xero. This overhaul significantly enhanced accounting reliability and efficiency. As a result, I could produce monthly reporting twice as fast. Additionally, I revamped financial reporting to scale with the strategy of funnel diversification and provided monthly updates of COGS instead of yearly.Notably, I developed a model determining optimal order quantities, integrated into the supplier purchasing order tool. Connected to the product database, this tool fed a schedule used company-wide for communication and product release coordination and reduced inventories by 10%.As the product owner of the internal back-office tool, I facilitated its shift from a single sales funnel to a multi-funnel system, integrating marketplaces like Zalando and Galeries Lafayette. This strategic adjustment resulted in a noteworthy 100-fold increase in turnover within this vertical, all done in compliance with fiscal and legal standards in each country and marketplace of operations.Additionally, I actively contributed to cross-functional projects. I implemented a tool for the B2B Sales team to better communicate with each department store. I also implemented Notion as a knowledge center, supporting collaborative work and know-how capitalization, smoothing the onboarding for new team members. Show less
