Project History

Quality Module for ParityFactory

Led the design, development, and deployment of the Quality Module for ParityFactory, which attracted over 60% of existing clients to purchase and implement this in their facilities.

PF Quality allows QA/QC teams to create custom food quality tests that directly integrate with the existing inventory platform (ParityFactory). This platform replaced manual pen and paper tests and the need to transcribe manual QA/QC data. It allowed data to be instantly captured and sent using our existing handheld scanners. Users were also able to instantly put lots on hold if specific quality tests failed, preventing bad lots from being used in production or sent to customers. At the end of the QA/QC tests, users could also instantly run reports and generate documentation of test results.

Pallet Allocation on ParityFactory Mobile

Led the design, development, and implementation of a new feature for ParityFactory, allowing mobile handheld users on the floor to allocate specific pallets for shipments.

Clients who staged pallets for shipments were running into issues of loading the wrong pallet on the wrong truck when it was at the loading dock. Shipments were staged ahead of time, but one forklift driver would often load the pallet on the wrong truck at delivery. Each shipping error was costing the customer around $5,000 to $10,000.

This feature allowed for a double scan to happen, so that mobile users could first reserve the pallets to be loaded (during staging), and then run a second approval scan when it was loaded to the truck. After implementation, the customer saved around $25,000 to $50,000 per month in shipping fees and improved their image with clients.

Redesigned Website for The Littlest Spa

Redesigned the website for a local spa, which attracted 200% more visits in the first month.

Created a custom WordPress website for The Littlest Spa as a college project. I used SEO tactics on the website, which attracted 200% more website visits within the first month. The client also noticed 105 new clients within three months after the launch.
