Job Description

Capelle aan den IJssel - 32-40 hours per week Where transport and data meet Every day, shipments of vinyl and CDs leave our site in Capelle aan den IJssel, heading for stores and customers at home and abroad. That this happens smoothly, on time and at the right cost is no coincidence. That’s down to you. As Transport / Logistics Coordinator, you are the linchpin of our daily operations. You plan, liaise with carriers and colleagues, and step in the moment something deviates. But you look beyond today: in Power BI you can see how delivery reliability, lead times and transport costs are developing, and you know exactly where the gains are to be made. You use the operation to understand the data, and the data to improve the operation. Sound like the way you work? Then read on. What will you be doing? You report to the Team Lead Logistics / Transport. Your work has two sides that strengthen each other. In operations You plan and coordinate inbound and outbound transport and keep a close eye on delivery times, agreements and priorities. You book shipments, process transport orders and documentation in TMS, WMS and/or ERP, and follow them up until they’ve been delivered. You are the point of contact for carriers, customers and colleagues in Warehouse, Customer Service and Supply Chain Planning. Something not going to plan? You’re the first to spot it, you solve it and you keep everyone clearly informed. You monitor quality, damage handling and return flows, and check transport invoices. In data You monitor KPIs such as delivery reliability, lead times and transport costs. You work with dashboards and reports in Power BI and translate what you see into concrete improvement proposals. You help come up with smarter routes, loading, planning and carrier deployment, with cost control as the common thread. You discover new tools and technical solutions and make sure they actually get used in practice. Who are you? You feel at home on both sides of the role: transport and data. You’re just as comfortable on the phone with a carrier as you are behind a Power BI dashboard. You have at least a completed bachelor’s degree (HBO level), preferably in Logistics and Supply Chain Management or Industrial Engineering and Management. You have experience planning, coordinating, booking and following up on transport. You have experience with TMS, WMS and/or ERP systems and a good working knowledge of Microsoft 365. You have experience with Power BI and can use and interpret dashboards, reports and KPIs. You are well organised, resilient under pressure and solution-oriented. You have a hands-on mentality: you see what needs to be done, don’t wait around and pick it up proactively. You are curious about new technical tools and solutions, enjoy mastering them and take the initiative to put them into practice. A definite plus: experience with Power BI Self-Service, allowing you to carry out analyses independently and set up reports and dashboards. Do you have experience with Power BI but don’t tick every box above? Don’t let that hold you back. If the combination of transport, data and continuous improvement gets you excited, we’d love to hear from you. What do we offer? Of course, you don’t get out of bed just for the coffee and the great colleagues. So what else do we offer? Here it comes! A competitive salary plus a guaranteed 13th-month payment 25 days of annual leave (based on a 40-hour week) and 8% holiday allowance Options to work from home, a travel allowance and a good pension scheme A discount on a gym membership through Bedrijfsfitness Nederland and participation in the bike scheme A My Bertus account for buying vinyl and CDs at a staff discount Room for your own development, for example through our GoodHabitz training platform The prospect of a permanent contract An informal organisation with colleagues who share a passion for music About Bertus Bertus started out as a record shop in 1971 and grew into an international player in the distribution of vinyl and CDs, for labels big and small in every genre, from metal and EDM to jazz and K-pop.
