Purpose
This skill covers the "buying side" of H&J — how you decide what to order, from whom,
at what price, and how to evaluate whether your vendors are performing.
Currently Cruz handles ALL purchasing from memory and phone calls. This skill codifies
that knowledge so the business doesn't depend on one person's brain.
When to Use
- Building vendor management features
- Creating reorder point logic or automated PO triggers
- Designing vendor scorecards or performance tracking
- Cost analysis (are we getting the best price?)
- Vendor onboarding or evaluation
- Seasonal purchasing strategy
