• Manage freight forwarders, couriers, and logistics service providers, including cost and service performance.
• Oversee dangerous goods shipping, especially lithium batteries, in line with IATA DGR and IMDG requirements.

• Maintain logistics and inventory records for audits by clients, customs, and internal quality teams.
• Report on inventory accuracy, stock availability, logistics costs, and on-time delivery.
• Improve systems and processes as BeeX scales from low-volume builds to a larger fleet.
