## About

```text
At Liquor Runners SA (Heineken Beverages), I supervise and coordinate a team of 4–6 employees handling inventory activities. I investigate stock variances and coordinate corrective actions to support accurate inventory records.

I use SAP and EWM/WMS to monitor inventory movements, manage stock-taking, and ensure materials are allocated to the right bins and locations. I also prepare inventory updates and allocate operational resources according to workload and business priorities.

Earlier at Liquor Runners SA, I processed customer credits, investigated discrepancies, and prepared operational reports. My experience also includes bookkeeping at Amandla Service Shell Station (Tshipi Noto) and customer service and sales support at Absa Group; I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting Sciences through UNISA.
