Independent Consultant
Corporación Elefante
Corporacion Elefante is a conglomerate of seven subsidiary companies focusing on three very distinct businesses: Third Party Logistics, Out of Home Advertising and Motorcycle Dealerships. Initially hired to design a long term IT strategy that is aligned to their future business goals, I was later hired to put in place some of these strategies, specifically, to lead the implementation of NetSuite’s OneWorld ERP, Made4net’s Warehouse and Transportation Management Systems, and Magaya’s International Commerce System, integration to existing Dealership and Out of Home Systems and networking architecture based on Velocloud’s SD-WAN to support all SaaS applications. Systems started going live by end of November creating great efficiency that further benefits their organizations through the use of new consolidated financial information, budgeting, fixed asset management, procurement, CRM, and related operational processes.Given my expertise in Operations and Supply Chain, I was also asked to streamline their 3PL operation and was named Director of STYBA, managing Cold and Dry Storage Facilities and Value Added Services toguether with their Local Distribution and International Cargo line of businesses. New Planning and Customer Service Departments were created and a reorganization of the operational and administrative areas was performed creating savings that repaid system investments. New methods of billing were put in place to increase overall income generated from their Storage facilities as well as reduction in operational costs through manpower reduction and better space utilization further improved their 3PL profitability margin.
