• Coach supervisors, team leads, and end users on standard WMS processes, new functionality, and effective system use.

Project and Implementation Support

• Support new client implementations, client onboarding, system upgrades, application integrations, and process-improvement initiatives at the site level.
• Participate in requirements-gathering sessions, operational walkthroughs, process validation, testing preparation, cutover planning, and go-live support.
• Complete assigned project actions and provide accurate progress updates to project teams and site leadership.
• Identify and raise risks, dependencies, resource constraints, or operational concerns that may affect delivery.
• Help ensure implemented solutions are practical for site operations, aligned with the approved design, and supported by appropriate documentation and training.

EDI and Integration Coordination

• Monitor and support the operational flow of inbound and outbound electronic transactions between the WMS, client systems, automation platforms, and supporting applications.
• Investigate failed transactions, missing messages, data-quality issues, and interface exceptions.
• Gather relevant transaction details and coordinate resolution with Application & Integration or the appropriate technical support team.
• Validate corrected transactions and confirm operational processing can continue without creating duplicate, incomplete, or inaccurate records.
• Communicate integration issues and business impacts clearly to operational and technical stakeholders.

Documentation, Controls and Continuous Improvement

• Maintain accurate support records, issue logs, test evidence, process documentation, configuration references, and knowledge articles.
• Follow established change-control, access-control, information-security, and compliance requirements when supporting systems or operational data.
• Review support trends, user feedback, and operational observations to identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce errors, and improve system adoption.
