Foundation Goods Design

At Foundation Goods Design, I managed both physical and digital inventory systems through Shopify, ensuring accurate stock levels and efficient warehouse operations. I bridged the gap between our online presence and physical store, allowing me to contribute to both the customer experience and backend operations of the business.

As warehouse manager, my primary responsibilities included:

• Managing all physical inventory and maintaining accurate digital records through Shopify
• Assisting customers in-store with product selection and purchases.
• Oversee the training of all leadership positions, ensuring continuous learning and team growth.
• Receiving and processing new inventory shipments while updating digital systems accordingly.
• Spearheading projects to improve warehouse organization and inventory tracking systems
• Leading inventory audits and reconciliation processes

Inventory Tracking System Overhaul

I led a comprehensive redesign of our inventory tracking system, implementing barcode scanning technology integrated with our Shopify platform. This project resulted in a 30% reduction in inventory discrepancies and significantly improved the efficiency of our stock management processes.

Warehouse Layout Optimization

I reorganized the warehouse layout based on product turnover rates and seasonal demands, creating a more efficient picking system that reduced fulfillment time by 25%. This optimization allowed us to handle increased order volumes during peak holiday seasons without additional staffing requirements.

Digital Inventory Management Systems

Working with Shopify's inventory management tools has given me expertise in maintaining accurate digital records that reflect physical inventory. I've learned to utilize automation features, implement scanning systems, and develop processes that minimize human error in inventory tracking.

Customer Service in Retail Environments

My in-store responsibilities have enhanced my ability to understand customer needs and effectively communicate product features and benefits. I've developed techniques for balancing customer assistance with operational duties, ensuring both areas receive appropriate attention.

Process Improvement and Project Management

Leading inventory system improvement projects has strengthened my project management skills. I've learned to identify inefficiencies, develop practical solutions, and implement changes with minimal disruption to daily operations. These experiences have taught me how to effectively balance immediate operational needs with long-term improvement goals, resulting in systems that better serve both staff and customers.
