Own our enterprise process model and repository — the single source of truth for how the business operates
Design to-be processes across quote-to-cash, procure-to-pay, plan-to-stock, and service value streams
Use the Blue Dolphin platform to link capabilities, processes, applications, and data into a coherent enterprise architecture
Drive measurable improvement against the metrics that matter: fill rate, perfect order, cycle time, cost-to-serve, and working capital efficiency
Facilitate cross-functional design and improvement work with branch, warehouse, purchasing, sales, and finance leaders
Translate process intent into clear requirements for our ERP (NetSuite), CPQ, WMS, and integration partners — without crossing into delivery
