• Data Analysis & Reporting: Analyze sales data, inventory levels, and customer service metrics to identify opportunities for improvement. Prepare regular reports to communicate key findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Customer Service team, physical distribution teams, the division, and other relevant departments (e.g., Supply Chain, Sales) to ensure seamless communication and efficient processes.
• Process Improvement: Identify and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and effectiveness within the stock allocation process. This includes streamlining workflows, automating tasks, and developing best practices.
