Your suppliers are unreliable. Your freight costs keep climbing. And your inventory is either dead stock eating your cash — or stocked out right when demand hits. For an e-commerce brand or import business, those aren't small annoyances. They're margin leaks that compound quietly. I find where you're losing money, and I close the gap — with 2,400+ hours on Upwork doing exactly this (Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success). WHAT I HANDLE FOR YOU Supplier Sourcing & Risk Removal — I find, vet, and negotiate with manufacturers on Alibaba, 1688, and Global Sources, so you're not one factory delay away from crisis. Quotes get rebuilt into true landed cost (FOB + freight + duty + QC), and balance payments are tied to passed pre-shipment inspections — you never pay in full for a bad batch. Freight & Landed Cost Optimization — Most sellers don't actually know their landed cost per unit. I break it down, compare mode and routing options (air vs. LCL vs. FCL), and cut what's inflated. My sample analysis in the portfolio below shows how consolidating weekly LCL into monthly FCL projects a 28% freight-spend reduction. Inventory Planning & Forecasting — Reorder point models and demand forecasts (moving average, exponential smoothing, accuracy-scored) so you stop guessing. No dead capital in the warehouse, no emergency air freight because you ran out. Logistics Coordination — Bookings, shipping documents (CI, packing list, B/L, ISF), customs follow-up with same-day escalation on holds, and delivery close-out. The unglamorous work that determines whether your product actually arrives. HOW I WORK I start with a supply chain audit: I map what you have, find the leaks, and tell you exactly what to fix first — a clear diagnosis before you commit to anything bigger. Everything after that runs on systems, not memory: live shipment trackers with automatic risk flags, documentation checklists, and written SOPs your team can run without me approving every PO. My portfolio shows the actual working files — download and inspect them. Message me one line about your biggest bottleneck. Within 24 hours I'll tell you honestly whether I can help — and what I'd do first.
