• Familiarity with ERP platforms, warehouse management systems, inventory management tools, and order processing applications.
• Experience with Google BigQuery, cloud data warehouses, SQL-based analytics platforms, or related cloud technologies.
• Knowledge of Shopify, WooCommerce, ecommerce reporting, fulfillment analytics, or shipping cost analysis.
