• Deep functional knowledge of inventory management and supply chain processes within an ERP, including cycle counting, physical inventory, and inventory valuation.
• Demonstrated expertise in managing mission-critical integrations, specifically between an ERP and a WMS, and a clear understanding of how integration stability impacts inventory integrity and warehouse throughput
