What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a purchasing/procurement role where I can manage vendors and invoices, control costs and compliance, coordinate logistics and shipping documents, and ensure accurate, on-time fulfillment through strong customer service.

I’m a purchasing and procurement professional with over 5 years’ experience supporting purchasing administration and customer service. I focus on vendor negotiation, inventory management, and improving efficiency to keep orders accurate and on time.

In my purchasing coordinator work, I received and processed customer orders, distributed them to the right flower farms, and followed up to ensure complete order fulfillment. I oversaw timely delivery by coordinating logistics and drop-off points, then matched invoices against delivered quantities and prices for accuracy.

I’m strong in cost control and compliance. I conducted quality inspections on incoming boxes, coordinated with freight agents using the correct shipping documentation (including consolidated invoices and certificates), and maintained up-to-date ledger statements to support timely payments and solid supplier relationships.

I also bring customer-focused administration and cross-functional coordination. From tender support to customer onboarding and payment follow-ups, I work to reduce claims, increase margins, and strengthen supplier connections—while staying organized and detail-driven.
