Applicants should mention genuine experience with calculations, spreadsheets, reports, reconciliations, stock counts, delivery data, invoice checks or transport performance information.

SAP and transport systems requirement explained

The official advert states that experience with SAP, transport scheduling and Transport Management Systems will be a benefit.
