intercompany Transaction
(2021-2022)

While working in a major retail company for home - renovation, a project was to help the company to save money in case of shortage, overstock, test on a product - reference in a business unit. 

​

The objective was to simplify the manual process at this time, when a business firm (= country) buys/sells a product to another one.
