Background

About Scott S.

I am a transportation and logistics specialist of over 11 years, with substantial domestic and international experience, as well as significant customer service and sales support skills. I have handled supply chain tasks for major clients such as Microsoft, Toyota, Nestle, and the Green Bay Packers. During this time, I have been recognized for several time and money saving improvements to related business practices. I am enthusiastic in my search for continuous improvement in processes that will lead to greater customer satisfaction and improved efficiency. I grew up in a wholesale and retail family-owned business (literally, the front of the building was the retail and wholesale shipping space, the rear the living space), and recognize that the customer is the most important part of any company’s success. I take pride in being detail-oriented and in finding ways for a business to improve its methods. My most recent engagement was as the Sales Support/Freight Analyst for Waupaca Sand & Solutions, a producer of custom sports field, golf course, equestrian, and industrial abrasive mixes. Some of my achievements with them include: • Development of systems for daily monitoring/reporting of shipping volumes for high priority customers, resulting in better carrier utilization and increased customer satisfaction. • Improved material and freight invoice reconciliation processing, resulting in improved tracking of AP invoices and a 30% reduction in monthly accrued invoices, as well as identification of over $6,500 in incorrect accounts payable charges in fiscal year 2016-2017. • Identification and correction of wasteful practices in small parcel shipping procedures, resulting in an average decrease in costs of $1500 per year. When not in the office, you will find me homebrewing (over 10 years of experience and pursuing a Cicerone certification), kayaking, fishing or chasing other outdoor pursuits.
