  • Send ASN’s, create loads, upload signed BOLs, and coordinate with customer requirements
  • Audit shipping invoices for accuracy and identify areas for cost savings
  • Work closely with the purchasing and sales teams to coordinate priorities and meet delivery expectations

Continuous Improvement

  • Implement best practices to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and lower operating costs
  • Review carrier performance to ensure optimal service and pricing
