New to Upwork 🚀 13 yrs exp implementing and managing end-to-end SC processes (Forecasting -> Delivery) for companies like Intel, SolarEdge, and NA-KD.

My proven impact includes: Inventory Control System (+€400K/ year) | Automated Shipment Tracking (-1,600hrs (€64K/year)) | End-to-End KPI Dashboard (Visibility- 80% to 95%) | Multimodal Freight Optimization (20% - 30% Cost Reduction) ------------------------ The longer, sit-down version (if you have a minute): 👋 I’m Gautham - I work in the SC space since 2013. My past scope includes Inventory & Order Management, Procurement, 3PL WH (appx €17M annual spend) and Global Multimodal Freight Forwarding (appx +$20M annual spend). I have supported companies in industries ranging from Tech and Fashion to Healthcare and E-commerce to stop firefighting and start scaling by designing and implementing smart, efficient and scalable processes and systems that reduce cost and time. Some of my favorite outcomes include: - Increasing profitability by ~€400K/year. (By recovering lost inventory value through improved control systems.) - Saved ~€64K/year with automated shipment tracking and exception management processes. - Reduced ~$16k in spending with improved shipment documentation. - 30% Cost Savings on Ocean Freight: Renegotiated and implemented fixed-rate contracts that significantly lowered cost and delivered fixed allocation. - 20% Reduction in Transport Rates: Optimized freight modes to deliver a consistent 20% cost reduction. - 9/10 Customer Satisfaction Score: Consistently maintained high-level service standards while managing 15+ global accounts across various industries. How I can support your business: 1️⃣ Process Automation to reduce "Firefighting": If your team is buried in manual status checks and PO creation, your growth is stalled. I eliminate repetitive manual tasks and replace them with a predictable, automated systems, giving your team the freedom to focus on strategic growth rather than data entry. 2️⃣ Global Logistics Setup to have a Scalable Foundation: Businesses often reveals cracks in the warehouse and shipping infrastructure that lead to lost inventory and customer frustration. I design and implement end-to-end logistics solutions—from forecasting to final delivery—that give you the same professional architecture used by Enterprise level organizations. 3️⃣ SC Management to Protect Your Margins and set up with Strategic Oversight: Small inefficiencies in reorder strategies and freight rates quietly drain your profits. I provide the high-level commercial oversight needed to stop budget "leaks," managing supplier negotiations and risk to deliver results like 20–30% reductions in freight costs. If you’re a business looking to simplify operations and scale efficiently, I’d love to help. Whether we work together for a project or long-term, you’ll get clear communication, high-quality builds, and measurable results that last. Looking forward to meeting you!
