Arishka Dewlok
@arishkadewlok
Dispatch-focused SCM administrator delivering reliable logistics, fleet control, and exceptional customer liaison in fast-paced environments.
What I'm looking for
I thrive in fast-paced environments, managing multiple tasks effectively while communicating professionally at all levels. I bring strong customer service skills from my Receptionist role, where I supported senior management, greeted visitors/customers, and ensured smooth call handling and order follow-ups.
Since 2019, I have worked as a Customer Liaison Officer / SCM Administrator / Dispatch Supervisor, partnering with customers on deliveries and taking ownership of dispatch execution. I handle delivery bookings and route planning, manage vehicle loading schedules, verify and sign off invoices, and coordinate with internal teams, couriers, and external transporters.
I also support operational control—fleet control & vehicle tracking, POD control, and resolving road-related issues with drivers. I assist clearing agents with cross-border documentation and manage a staff complement of 20+—all while pursuing my BCom in Supply Chain & Operations Management to strengthen my logistics and administration impact.
