@alparslansahin

Import logistics specialist at GGM Gastro who coordinated 5,500 containers annually and negotiated transport costs.

At GGM Gastro International GmbH, I coordinated around 5,500 containers annually from China and Turkey, including shipments through Rotterdam and onward truck transport. I negotiated freight rates and individual charges, and calculated demurrage and detention costs to help avoid unnecessary fees.

I tracked terminal and customs status and maintained expected delivery dates in SAP. Earlier, I planned container transport at Lintex B.V. and Bouwman Logistics B.V.; I now run BY.Z Köfte & Çiğköfte, overseeing purchasing, inventory, suppliers, and daily operations.
