Practical Use Cases

Bratex Ltd

At Bratex, Mandy designed and implemented a stock control module (using MS Access) that integrated from showroom design, through finance and stock control and on to CNC machinery. This enabled the company to maintain a JIT operation and eliminated waste and improved control of raw materials.

GlaxoSmithKline

At GlaxoSmithKline (Zimbabwe), Mandy was employed at the point of the merger between SmithKline Beecham and Glaxo Wellcome. She was instrumental in navigating the new reporting processes and ensuring alignment with global procedures. She was also responsible for the local merger of the two arms. At the same time, she was responsible for re-implementing a previously badly implemented finance package within very short timeframes to enable the years accounts to be audited.

CLS

At CLS, Mandy initially overhauled a new finance system ensuring accurate control of insurance premiums and recognition of revenue as well as addressing credit control. She implemented real-time financial updates from online and offline sources, including schemes. She also implemented bordereaux out reporting with imbedded financial control and reconciliation.
