• Conducting regular cycle counts and supporting monthly full physical stock takes, submitting variance reports within agreed SLAs, and performing root-cause analysis on recurring stock discrepancies
• Managing all stock returns including batteries receiving, assessing, and recording returned units by condition, and overseeing the full refurbishment lifecycle from return receipt through quality assessment to re-entry into available stock
• Managing free trial and loaner bike inventory, tracking allocation, return dates, condition, and system status for all units in this category
• Ensuring timely and accurate receipting of all Purchase Orders in D365 and maintaining complete inventory transaction documentation including goods received notes, delivery notes, transfer records, variance reports, and reconciliation schedules
• Reporting daily on stock movements, variances, and open items, generating and analysing inventory reports from the ERP, and recommending process improvements to enhance accuracy and operational efficiency
