@gerhardpretorius
Manager with strong sales coordination and logistics expertise, driving efficient operations and reliable inventory control.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hands-on operations leader with a background in IT Engineering and extensive expertise in coordinating sales, logistics, and managing operations. I bring a practical, customer-focused approach and a strong commitment to safety, accuracy, and efficiency.
As a Sales and Logistics Coordinator, I coordinated sales activities, processed sales orders, and managed logistics operations—coordinating shipments and communicating with suppliers and carriers. I monitored inventory levels, resolved logistical issues, and prepared reports by analyzing sales and logistics data to spot improvement opportunities.
In supervisory roles, I led day-to-day operational performance and ensured quality outcomes. As a Batch Plant Supervisor, I managed the mixing process, scheduled production to meet deadlines, ensured quality control through testing, and maintained equipment upkeep while directing plant staff.
Currently as a Storeroom Manager, I oversee store opening and closing procedures, maintenance supervision, and regular stock takes to maintain accurate inventory levels. I ensure the sales floor maintains sufficient stock to meet customer demand by managing inventory and replenishing supplies as needed.
