- Drive cross-functional alignment across logistics, finance, and procurement to ensure consistent metric interpretation and accountability.
- Strengthen data integrity through ERP and WMS configuration, real-time transaction logging, and automated alerts for anomalies like negative balances or duplicate entries.
- Implement barcode or RFID scanning protocols at critical touchpoints to minimise human error and enhance traceability.
