Notice the pattern: each bullet starts with an action, says what the work was and, where it is true, adds scale (how many people, customers or items). Write yours the same way, with your own facts.
Keep it honest
Give project scale in general terms if exact values are confidential. ATS-readiness checks and templates help your resume be read clearly, but no tool can promise an interview or a job.
