In this role, I consistently utilized data analytics to track key performance indicators (KPIs), identify inefficiencies, and implement strategies for cost reduction.I possess extensive experience in shipping coordination, particularly managing vessel logistics. I am skilled in implementing data analytics to monitor shipping performance, optimize routes, and analyze trends in inventory levels, vessel utilization, and transportation costs. By tracking KPIs such as on-time delivery, shipping costs per unit, and inventory turnover, I have successfully identified areas for improvement and implemented cost-saving strategies. These include optimizing vessel loads, stock management, and reducing freight and demurrage costs through negotiation strategies.
