3. Damages Control (Minimize Losses, Maximize Value)

    • Track damaged, missing, or misplaced stock
    • Maintain a clear log and reporting structure for all incidents
    • Work with operations to reduce damages and improve handling practices
    • Ensure timely escalation and corrective action

4. Systems Compliance & Reporting (Clean Data, Clear Decisions)

    • Ensure all transactions are accurately captured in ERP systems
    • Maintain high data integrity across sales, stock, and finance records
    • Generate daily, weekly, and monthly reports for branch performance

    • Stock handling
    • Cleanliness and organization
    • Compliance standards
