Picture your day: you walk the floor of our Woodruff, SC distribution center, touch base with inventory analysts, and align priorities across Consumer and Pharmaceutical product lines. You verify yesterday’s cycle counts, approve adjustments, and prepare today’s audit plan. A call with our 3PL follows to resolve a variance on pharmaceutical stock, then you pivot to month-end prep—consolidating data from PeopleSoft, SAP, and Blue Yonder (JDA) into one authoritative dataset. By afternoon, you’re reviewing GS1 shipping label compliance, closing out reconciliation tasks, and transforming freight and distribution data into clear, actionable metrics for leadership.
