Description:	Renegade staff designed, programed, and managed all data aspects of an Edges strategic sourcing initiative. Sourcing is the process of achieving savings by obtaining lower prices from a company's current part suppliers or re-sourcing particular parts to new suppliers who have lower production costs. Lower prices are obtained by identifying viable suppliers and then creating a competitive atmosphere by having those suppliers bid for business. Downward pressure is place on the final quote by having three rounds of bidding including feedback reports provided to the suppliers informing them of their standing in the market compared to the lowest viable quote. Applications written to accomplish the goals of this initiative included: Request for information (RFI) upload, from Excel templates, and reporting database/tools Request for proposal (RFP) upload, from Excel templates, and reporting database/tools Supplier feedback and other report exports to Excel and PDF formats
