“The Inventory Management project undertaken by our UWS student was of the highest calibre, one that delivered immediate tangible savings of $450,000 with the potential for further substantial longer term savings.”

 

“The student exceeded expectations…the reports provided by the student replicated that of a paid consultant and will now be used as a template for ongoing audits.”
