Accomplishments
Collaborated with team of [Number] in the development of [Project name].
Capex import/export payables to shipping line:
As a result of the outright sales of Shoprite Nigeria Ltd from the Shoprite Group of Companies SA, to Retail Supermarkets Nigeria Ltd, a project to upload all hard copies of import invoices from (2015-2021) to the cloud and to be shared with the SA import/export team was structured.
The filing system from over the years was rearrange and move to different warehouses.
Solution:
I quickly get the Finance team to assist, we discovered we will need more hands and scanning machines were requested for more temporary staff and rented 2 high volume scanning machines.
We collated all import invoices from over the period and arrange/sorted them out while others in the team scanned to dedicated folders on the Microsoft drive.
We deliver the files a week earlier than the 1 month duration stipulated for the project. It was a win-win project.
