Overview of Global Sourcing Project
In this portfolio project, I used a combination of software tools — Excel, Odoo, Power BI, and Sourcemap — to complete various tasks related to retail, product development, and supply chain management. Each software allowed me to demonstrate important technical skills critical to the fashion merchandising and retail industry.
Using Excel, I performed importing and exporting of data, created consumer data analytics reports, developed apparel line plans, and built technical packages with detailed costing sheets and harmonized tariff schedules for international trade compliance. I also used Excel to create detailed product development schedules, organizing timelines and deadlines to ensure efficient workflow management.
In Odoo, I worked within an integrated business platform to manage aspects of inventory, sales, and product development, simulating how businesses track and move products from production to retail.
Power BI allowed me to visualize complex data sets, transforming raw information into dynamic dashboards and consumer insights. This skill demonstrated my ability to create interactive reports that support business decision-making based on consumer behavior and sales performance.
Finally, with Sourcemap, I mapped out global supply chains, identifying where materials and products originated, how they moved through the production process, and how ethical and sustainable sourcing can be managed and improved.
Through this project, I showcased my ability to work with key software platforms and applied technical skills in consumer data analytics, apparel line development, technical design and costing, supply chain mapping, and project scheduling — all essential areas for a successful career in product development, merchandising, and retail management.
