Certainly! In previous roles, I utilized ERP systems to streamline processes and enhance data accuracy. I focused on integrating different functionalities, which allowed the teams to make informed decisions based on real-time data. I also actively participated in training staff to get the best out of the system.

My approach to troubleshooting begins with understanding the specific issue by asking targeted questions. I then gather data, replicate the problem when possible, and identify potential solutions. It's essential to communicate effectively with the users throughout the process to ensure transparency.

In my last position, I led a project to redesign our reporting framework using an automated dashboard system. This initiative reduced manual reporting time by 50%, improved data accuracy, and empowered teams to access real-time data insights, significantly influencing decision-making processes.
