As an International Logistics Coordinator at S&S Logistics (Bassi
Management), I managed end-to-end international logistics operations
across air, sea, and land freight corridors in US and Indian markets —
delivering results that earned me a Top Performer Award, performance
bonus, and 25% salary increment within 8 months of joining.

In fleet management and driver supervision, I directly managed 10-15
drivers daily across a diverse fleet of 10+ carriers — container
trailers, refrigerated vans, LTL vans, FTL trucks, and heavy goods
vehicles — across US and Indian road corridors. I used GPS tracking for
real-time fleet monitoring and AMS vessel tracking for precision dispatch
coordination with incoming ocean freight at terminals. I optimised the
New York CMA/CGM terminal to Brooklyn route through historical traffic
analysis and real-time driver coordination — reducing idle time and
improving on-time delivery. I improved fleet utilisation on the
Bangalore-Chennai corridor by consolidating LTL loads into FTL —
reducing vehicle trips and cutting fuel costs significantly.

In multi-modal freight and carrier management, I coordinated with
shipping lines on rate negotiation, space booking, vessel scheduling,
and transit optimisation across all three freight modes. I directed
logistics for hazmat, refrigerated, and oversized containers — achieving
98% on-time delivery across all shipment types. I executed Trans-Pacific
route optimisation by re-sourcing 8+ carriers with performance-based
SLAs and a dynamic container utilisation model — achieving 14% transit
reduction, 18% freight cost savings, and 99% client satisfaction.

In documentation and compliance, I managed the full lifecycle of
international trade documentation — BOL, POD, POL, Letters of Credit,
customs declarations, packing lists, and certificates of origin —
ensuring 100% regulatory compliance across Incoterms and multiple
jurisdictions.

In warehouse and cold chain management, I sourced and managed bonded
warehouse and cold storage facilities across US and Indian markets —
managing temperature-controlled container import/export for food-grade
and FMCG cargo. I redesigned intake and dispatch workflows boosting
space efficiency by 25%.

In team leadership and commercial control, I led and mentored a team
of 5 logistics coordinators — training staff on freight operations,
3PL coordination, carrier management, and documentation. I negotiated
freight contracts driving 18% transportation cost reduction and
conducted systematic invoice auditing recovering $28, 000 in annual
carrier overbilling — validated by the finance team.

As an SCM Operational Strategist at Solution Buggy Pvt. Ltd., I was
part of a 3-member supply chain consulting team advising FMCG and
manufacturing clients on end-to-end supply chain transformation. I held
personal ownership of logistics network design, transportation strategy,
warehouse optimisation, inventory control, and demand forecasting across
all client engagements — recognised with a 100% monthly salary bonus for
project delivery excellence.

In logistics network design, I independently designed transportation
routing frameworks and carrier networks for FMCG clients entering new
geographic markets — reducing order-to-delivery cycles by 30% and
establishing scalable distribution infrastructure from the ground up.

In warehouse optimisation, I redesigned congested warehouse layouts
implementing dynamic slotting strategies and cross-docking protocols —
increasing daily dispatch capacity by 25% without additional headcount.

In demand forecasting and inventory strategy, I built consumption
forecasting models integrating historical data, seasonality, and
production schedules — implemented ABC/XYZ classification and reorder
point optimisation, reducing excess stock holding costs by 22% and
eliminating emergency procurement situations.

In procurement transformation, I supported RFQ structuring, supplier
evaluation, and supply base consolidation — reducing client vendor bases
from 25+ to 14 qualified suppliers and improving supplier on-time
delivery from 78% to 95% through performance-linked SLA contracts.

I collaborated cross-functionally with production, sales, and operations
teams to align logistics and supply chain activities with business goals
— delivering full supply chain transformation within 6 months for every
client engagement.
