Procurement Specialist in Sourcing, Order Management, Inventory & TCO

Need better control over your suppliers, purchasing costs, POs and deliveries? I help companies manage the procurement process from supplier sourcing and negotiation through purchase orders, supplier follow-up and delivery, with a focus on cost, quality and timelines. With 14+ years of experience in procurement, I have managed international supplier networks, optimized procurement processes, negotiated cost-saving contracts, and handled purchase orders, logistics, inventory and cost control through both full-time roles and freelance projects. If you need someone who can source, negotiate, purchase, track POs, manage suppliers, control costs, and follow orders through delivery with clear updates, I can take ownership of the process. My core services include: 1. Strategic Supplier Sourcing, Global Vendor Identification & Vetting Locate and qualify factories and manufacturers based on verified capabilities, competitive pricing, and reliable performance across key sourcing markets such as APAC, EMEA, and North America. 2. RFQ/RFP Management Prepare structured quotations/proposals, compare them, negotiate terms, and secure cost-efficient procurement decisions. 3. Contract Negotiation & Supplier Performance Control Set clear KPIs, payment terms, lead times, commercial terms, and pricing while ensuring supplier accountability and quality. 4. Purchase Order Management & Production Follow-Up Oversee POs from confirmation to shipment with tracking, milestone updates, and delivery follow-up. 5. Freight Forwarding Coordination (EXW–DDP) & Logistics Optimization Coordinate freight quotes, bookings, customs documentation, and end-to-end shipping activities. 6. Quality Assurance Coordination Evaluate samples, coordinate IPQC/DUPRO/PSI inspections, monitor production quality, and support compliance requirements. 7. Inventory Forecasting, Replenishment & Demand Planning Build accurate forecasts, reduce stockouts, optimize reorder cycles, and improve cash flow. 8. Cost Optimization, MOQ Planning & Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis Improve margins by analyzing landed costs, MOQ options, tooling requirements, and logistics expenses. 9. Risk Mitigation, Supply Chain Optimization & Process Standardization Strengthen operational stability through structured workflows, supplier performance monitoring, and proactive risk controls. 10. End-to-End Project & Product Development Support Guide clients from concept to mass production, including sampling, prototyping, engineering feedback, and packaging development.
