  • Address and correct SAP IDoc interface issues to ensure seamless data integration and accurate inventory records.
  • Develop inventory optimization strategies to reduce costs and prevent stockouts or overstock situations.
  • Conduct regular inventory counts (cycle and full) and implement corrective actions based on findings.
  • Generate and review month-end inventory reports, identify discrepancies, investigate root causes, and propose solutions.
  • Validate adjustments, rectify errors, and maintain accurate records in the ERP and warehouse management systems in line with SOPs.

Key Challenges

  • Ensuring seamless integration and synchronization of inventory data across multiple systems, including SAP and 3PL providers.
  • Balancing inventory costs while maintaining optimal service levels and product availability.
  • Identifying and proactively addressing inventory variances and data integrity issues in real-time.
  • Managing and resolving inbound, outbound, and delivery process variations affecting inventory accuracy.
  • Driving process improvements and implementing inventory best practices in a high-paced and detail-oriented environment.

Experience:

  • Proven experience in inventory management, supply chain, or a related field.
  • Proficiency with ERP (preferably SAP) and warehouse management systems.

Skills:

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to draw actionable insights from data.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy in monitoring and reconciling inventory variances.
  • Capability to identify root causes of inventory deviations and implement corrective actions.

Personal Characteristics:

  • A proactive and results-driven mindset with the ability to work effectively under pressure.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills to partner across multiple functions effectively.
  • Adept at balancing competing priorities while staying organized and meeting deadlines.

Technical Proficiency:

  • Comfortable navigating complex systems and resolving integration errors (e.g., SAP IDoc issues).
