Coordinating with hauliers and distribution centres for transportation aligns with the scheduled plans, involving the arrangement of collection/delivery times and obtaining necessary booking references.

Attention to detail is crucial, with a focus on accurately inputting all relevant information into the TMS. The creation and completion of the delivery schedule are integral tasks.
