Position Overview
This Supply & Inventory Planner role keeps shelves and online listings stocked without tying up too much cash in inventory. As part of the Disposition team for the central warehouse sites, you steer goods from suppliers into the central and regional warehouses. Through active replenishment control of your product range, you aim for excellent availability at optimal stock levels, using modern forecast and replenishment software. Working with neighbouring departments, you derive strategic demand planning and manage stock when ranges change. You will monitor delivery dates, solve bottlenecks before they bite, and analyse logistics costs to find savings. As the interface between purchasing, suppliers, and logistics service providers, you improve delivery quality in line with shipping and packaging rules, and you support the professional development, automation, and redesign of supply chain processes.
Why This Role Matters: Customers notice an empty shelf or an out-of-stock listing straight away. As Supply & Inventory Planner, your forecasts, replenishment decisions, and supplier follow-up keep products available and costs under control.
