The problem
One of Arbor's largest enterprise customers was chasing supplier data by hand. Supplier contacts would email back spreadsheets in whatever shape they felt like, and someone on the customer side had to open, clean, and re-type every one before the numbers were usable. It was slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale as the supplier network grew.
The approach
I owned the service that replaced the spreadsheet chase with an automated collection process. That meant bulk onboarding for supplier contacts, standardized templates so data arrived in a consistent shape, and a clear place for the customer's team to see what was in, what was late, and what needed a nudge. I ran the discovery sessions with the customer, wrote the requirements and acceptance criteria, and worked with development through refinement, delivery, and release sign-off.
The outcome
Supplier data arrived structured instead of landing in an inbox to be chased and re-typed. One of Arbor's largest clients adopted it, and the service became a core part of the platform offering rather than a one-off for a single account.
