Ensured fleet card programs were executed successfully by following defined implementation methodology, understanding customer goals, outlining program features that enhance the customer product experience, and drive speed to spend objectives.Facilitated conversations to ensure I understand the customer’s needs, the full capability of the program is providing the customer’s desired outcome, and within their timeline. When the customer wasn't exactly sure what they want, these were important conversations.As a project manager I needed to make sure I completed my ServiceNow tickets correctly so there was no confusion on the setup format and SLAs are met. Communication to the customer, the setup team, and other supporting resources was critical in this role.

Going into this position I knew the Fleet Director needed help getting processes, functions, and expenses under control – good thing I can organize the chaos. I began by asking ‘what’s your biggest headache’ and then dove in to understanding what it was, why it was, and how do you think it should be. Once I understood the details, I was able to bring organization to the DSP fleet accounts, improve asset tracking, and establish best practices.Two significant contributions were the development of a standardized fleet asset tracking procedure and the elimination of manual expense processes by utilizing the available software capabilities.

My EDI and supply chain knowledge were applied in this consulting role. A vendor drop ship program was being implemented and I presented order management recommendations by clearly defining EDI functionality and aligning document flow with necessary system enhancements. Opportunities to optimize the pick & ship process were also identified.

As the Project Manager for EDI integration projects, it was important that the 3PL clearly understood the project scope, the tasks they and we were responsible to complete, as well as, how the outcome and timeline would be accomplished.Working cross-functional was a necessary part of the role and ensured that vendor, 3PL, and retailer were all aligned, the data was transmitted, and document data content met all requirements. Clarifying the details also was a regular part of the job - explaining ordering vs shipping unit of measure, ship methods & code options, and what was required for a compliant shipping label.It was energizing to be able to eliminate integration setup rework for my team and other team members by improving the sales execution process. I applied my change management knowledge when I rolled out the process to four departments.

As the Change Management Lead on a transportation management software (TMS) implementation project I was responsible for change communication, training material development, process documentation, and UAT activities.I was always focused on elevating change engagement by raising employee TMS awareness - especially the what & why details. It was important to have frequent dialog with the Transportation Managers, designate Change Champions, and confirm they would be supported. During frequent delays I utilized a “Keep It Fresh” campaign to stimulate engagement. For me asking questions is routine. Based on my operation knowledge I questioned why home delivery data wasn’t being included in the new TMS optimization functionality. So, I asked more questions, gathered data, and presented my justification to include the data. Result – the scope was changed to include home delivery data.

My roles in logistics included supporting distribution centers, home delivery locations, 3rd-party vendors, and retail stores. I was tasked with developing operation processes, leading operations startups, coordinating relocation projects, designing & conducting training, and crafting & deploying home delivery communications.As the home delivery SME, I collaborated cross-functionally with retail operations, communications, sales, and training teams. It was my job to provide representation, confirm participation in the project/assignment, define our role, and execute on our commitments. The most interesting assignments were ones where I was told “We need you to rollout this . . . “ and then be given full rein to create my plan and implement it. One such project was a new pallet sort process that included RF technology. I drew on previous experiences, engaged with lean engineers to understand the process design, and recognized the best outcome to meet the go-live objective was to ‘simulate the process’. The rollout included training people using the technology on boxes coming down a conveyer belt that were scanned and sorted to a pallet. We moved from simulation to live operations without missing a beat.
