• Established a procedure to route automatically, which saved approximately 10 hours weekly.
• Collaborated between sales, cash, orders, and sales finance to accurately spend trade dollars against promotions previously set up by sales.
• Selected to Ralcorp project to transition all of Ralcorp’s financial systems and deductions back to Omaha office.
• Partnered with management during transition, to show examples of what prior actions were taken in getting back up to see how the process would work going forward, so that they could best decide how things should move forward for the cash team.
• Identified changes that could be made in post processing that would improve the attachment rate of backup to deductions which would eliminate an extra touch by the cash department, which led to time savings of about 8 hours daily.
• Interacted with multiple departments and customer to resolve a pricing error which included sales, collections, orders and the customer contact. Resulted in reduced number of incoming deductions and time savings.
• Contributed to working on an IT procedure which automated a process that saved 20-30 hours of manual processing, benefiting several departments.
• Conferred with the management of the scanning department to track how backup was coming in to see how it should be indexed for best auto-match rates. This was an important function to maintain since the auto-match rate of Hans Orga is tracked to ensure this is working properly and saved time when people did not have to search for backup.
