Logistics Clerk

Function

We are looking for a [position] for our client in Houthalen-Helchteren Logistics Clerk. In this role, you’ll be the administrative and planning driving force behind the day-to-day logistics flow. You’ll ensure that orders, routes, drivers, documents and delivery information all fit together seamlessly — without unnecessary detours, without chaos and with a clear overview.

In this role, you will work closely with Operations, the warehouse, customer service and drivers. You will oversee the schedule, monitor deliveries and ensure that the logistics records are kept accurate and up to date. You can expect a varied role in which you’ll be working with both data and people, and where your attention to detail will make a visible difference every day.

Your main tasks:

• Preparing route planning based on orders, customer requirements, delivery windows, vehicle capacity and geographical logic;
• Planning and confirming routes in good time and ensuring that drivers and warehouse staff have the correct information;
• Monitoring delivery progress and any issues throughout the day, so that customer enquiries can be answered quickly and accurately;
• Managing delivery documentation, proof of delivery, returns documentation and other transport administration;
• Verifying information in collaboration with Operations and following up on discrepancies between Adsolut and the warehouse processes;
• Providing support for WMS administration, master data, location issues and stock corrections within the agreed authority matrix, and reporting;
• Monitoring process improvements, data cleansing and route analysis, particularly during quieter periods;
• To be trained as a back-up for critical route planning and dispatch activities, with the opportunity to take on greater responsibility in the future.

You’ll be working in an environment where speed is important, but accuracy is just that little bit more so. You like structure, can spot when information is incorrect straight away, and enjoy getting things sorted before anyone gets a cramp in their neck.
