Stayed alert, active, and ready to respond to any request at any time using variety of softwares and online portals such as V6, lighthouse, Salesforce etc

Accomplishments
Effective implementation of a creative plan to avoid the recurring error of missing projects to be ordered after registration and achieving a 99% success rate with the new process.
