3-Hour Intensive Increase Efficiency with Strategic Order Status Tracking
3 Hours of Accelerated, Industry-Specific Education
I’ve cracked the code on order status management—and I’m here to share it with you.
Ready to unlock the full potential of procurement? If you’ve mastered the basics in our 5-week course, this 3-hour intensive will take your skills to the next level by honing on the most time-consuming aspect of the process—order status management.
Implementing a strategic order status tracking system was the turning point for my firm’s efficiency and profitability. It can be the same for you. Master your purchasing process from proposal approval to warehouse arrival, saving time and reducing errors.
Whether you’re a solo designer or managing a team, this intensive will help you move from reactive to proactive procurement. Learn to leverage status tracking methods, streamline order processing, and utilize powerful tools like purchasing software and Airtable.
By the end of this 3-hour intensive, you’ll have a next-level, scalable system that integrates into your daily workflow and allows you to manage the status of hundreds of items. You’ll confidently handle complex orders, transforming chaos into calm in your daily operations. Interested? Sign up for LuAnn’s updates and early bird pricing!

Bethany began her career at Eastern Accents, a Chicago-based textile manufacturer. There, she managed the customs department, overseeing all non-catalog custom trade orders. This role served as the perfect stepping stone for her transition to Gary Lee Partners, an architecture firm, where she managed in-house procurement. In 2009, Bethany branched out on her own and has since been providing residential FFE Procurement solutions for a variety of interior design clients across the country.
