1. Highlights & Wins

  • Project / Area: QLS Handling — Deployed touchscreen time-tracking for warehouse staff

    • Impact & Metrics:
      • Staff onboarded: ~20 employees
      • Time saved: ~1215 hrs/week (manual logging + digitization)
      • Error reduction: ~85% fewer missing or incorrect entries
  • Project / Area: QLS Handling — Kicked off API integration with third-party customs data provider

    • Impact & Metrics:
      • Shipments covered: ~50/day (~250/week)
      • Time saved: ~20 hrs/week of manual data entry
      • Error reduction: ~90% fewer data-entry mistakes
  • Project / Area: QLS Handling — Led on-site brainstorming session with the warehouse team

    • Impact & Metrics:
      • Top action items: refine receiving workflow; update inventory labeling; establish daily stand-up
      • Quick win: new labeling process (~2 hrs/week saved)

2. Challenges & Blockers

  • High urgency / Priority shift: Compressed timeline forced pausing all other projects so I could devote 100% focus to QLS Handling.
  • Invoicing-flow complexity: Need to support 4 major cost types (each with ≥ 2 billing variations) plus an upstream “incident” billing path for transport failures—making schema design and testing particularly intricate.
  • Spec dependencies: Awaiting detailed incident definitions from logistics partners to finalize the upstream incident billing logic.

3. Learnings & Growth

  • Prepared for AWS Aurora migration: configured the initial Aurora cluster and deepened understanding of its scaling, high-availability, and compatibility features.
  • (No time this week for a formal skills deep-dive due to urgent QLS Handling priorities.)

4. Collaboration & Mentorship

  • Finance Stakeholder Meeting: Discussed and aligned on the new invoicing flows requirements and billing model variations.
  • Warehouse Team Sync: Gathered additional change requests and clarified workflows needed for QLS Handling updates.

5. Next Weeks Goals

  • Migrate production database to AWS Aurora and validate performance benchmarks
  • Roll out new warehouse software (built over the last half year) to the warehouse team: onboarding & training sessions
  • Provide quick bug fixes and support for the new warehouse software as issues arise
  • Finalize incident-billing logic once upstream specs arrive
  • Conduct QLS integration smoke tests post-launch and triage any issues
