Role Overview

Key Responsibilities
- Issue accurate purchase orders (POs) from the respective company to factories in China, confirming all order details, specifications, and quantities.
- Obtain the Pro Forma Invoice (PI) from each factory against the PO and verify it against order terms before processing.
- Obtain and track Cargo Readiness Dates (CRD) from each factory and proactively push for the earliest possible dates where there is any discrepancy.
- Maintain continuous, clear communication with factory contacts to manage timelines, resolve delays, and confirm production milestones.
- Coordinate shipment dates with factories to align with business demand and inventory planning.
- Book and finalise pre shipment inspections (PSI) with the appointed inspection agency (e.g. V Trust) in line with the shipment schedule.
- Review inspection reports thoroughly and flag any quality or compliance issues before authorising shipment release.
- Verify that all compliance certificates — CB / EMC / GCC / SASO — and all required documentation are valid and current before any goods are shipped.
- Ensure no shipment proceeds unless all quality, inspection, and compliance criteria are fully met.
- Negotiate competitive freight rates with shipping lines and freight forwarders from China to destination ports.
- Compare freight options on cost, transit time, and reliability — and select the optimal route for each shipment.
- Book vessel space and manage shipment scheduling to ensure goods arrive at the correct port within the shortest reasonable timeframe.
