- Performance & reliability: Drive service excellence through monitoring, KPIs, incident management, and continuous improvement practices.
- Vendor and partner management: Manage collaboration with key technology partners.
- Innovation & modernisation: Promote the use of automation, predictive analytics, IoT, and AI to increase efficiency, safety, and sustainability in logistics operations.
