  • Communicate with vendors regarding order status, pricing discrepancies, delivery schedules, and basic inquiries
  • Generate routine inventory and purchasing reports for review by management
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including purchasing, sales, and logistics to optimize inventory and procurement processes
  • Support the purchasing and inventory team with administrative tasks as needed
  • Follow company policies, procedures, and compliance standards
