At IMPORTADORA LA PLAZA, I manage international purchasing of approximately US$200,000 per month across 15 active suppliers. I’ve reduced acquisition costs by up to 45% through direct renegotiation with international suppliers.
For direct sourcing in China, I visited 25 factories for internal motorcycle parts, negotiated in person, and reviewed product quality. These negotiations achieved an average price reduction of 30%.
I manage the acquisition of more than 2,000 SKUs and coordinate supplier communication for cargo consolidation to reduce shipping costs. I also adjust purchase dates and quantities to current sales and resolve issues involving missing or damaged merchandise.
I developed Power BI and Excel reports to help management see purchasing activity and make decisions. Earlier, as a Supply Chain Analyst at IMPORTADORA LA PLAZA, I analyzed purchasing and supply data, built supplier performance scorecards using OTIF and defect-rate metrics, and prepared stock and demand reports.
