Description

• A logistics assistant needs certain skills and characteristics to be successful. Communication skills are vitally important for a logistics assistant, who might be the point of contact for customers, vendors, fellow employees or superiors. She must ensure that she provides accurate information without disclosing anything confidential or sensitive. A logistics assistant should be well-organized and able to handle multiple tasks at the same time. Computer skills are often important because she might need to trace orders, manage inventory and databases or perform other computer-related tasks.
• Keeping things organized might be one of a logistics assistant’s most important responsibilities. She might support one or more logistical in an organization, each of whom could have different responsibilities. Depending on the organization, she could be responsible for managing routine orders, contacting suppliers, tracking shipments and invoicing vendors. Although the focus of the work is the logistics process, a logistics assistant is typically an administrative assistant as well and will perform administrative support functions in addition to her logistics duties.
