• Enforce data entry standards across the after-sales team by developing SOPs, checklists, and training guides to ensure consistent and accurate system utilisation.
• Proactively identify data quality issues that affect reporting accuracy and work with relevant stakeholders to implement corrective and preventive actions.

Reporting & Performance Monitoring

• Monitor SLA and TAT compliance for service and repair orders, highlighting exceptions and trends to management.

Spare Parts & Reverse Logistics

• Coordinate with warehouse and logistics teams to ensure SAP accurately reflects physical spare parts movements across all storage locations and plants.
• Track reverse logistics flows of defective and field return goods in SAP, maintaining a complete chain of custody from field collection through assessment to final disposition (repair, refurbish, scrap, or supplier return).
• Assist the After Sales team in managing supplier warranty claims by ensuring relevant SAP documentation (serial numbers, material documents, service orders) is available and accurate.
• Identify and escalate slow-moving, excess, or obsolete spare parts inventory in SAP and facilitate periodic review and write-off activities.

Spare Parts Inventory Management

• Maintain accurate spare parts inventory records in SAP across all after-sales locations, ensuring stock levels remain aligned with physical counts.
• Coordinate and facilitate periodic spare parts cycle counts and annual stock takes, reconciling SAP quantities against physical counts and posting adjustment entries where required.
• Ensure correct valuation, batch management, and serial number tracking of spare parts within SAP, particularly for high-value or controlled components.
