Logistics is involved in a wide variety of tasks: there is the work carried out by our logistics colleagues in the warehouse, plus everything that needs to be arranged front-of-house and behind the scenes. This includes stock and order management, arranging the right transport for every order, correct planning and making sure this planned schedule goes ahead. Logistics is a hive of activity every day, with all the orders coming in and going out. This is why it is important there’s a clear structure and overview at all times. Colleagues arrange the international transport in our transport cluster (CS). They act as a hub in a wheel where the spokes are the transporters, Commerce and the team members on the floor. This is where you’ll work with shipping companies, customs offices and internal logistics.
In addition, we also have an internal cluster. This is where you’ll find the real process thinkers. People with analytical skills that love to ponder on process optimizations guided by parameters and data. Important: An analytical mind, good communication skills and ambition. HTG is looking for smart and driven people for the logistical heart of our organization. Can you imagine yourself working in one of the environments described above, or maybe even in both? You might just be the person we are looking for!
Department key points
Dynamic work environment
Our Logistics department offers a dynamic work environment. As well as the fact there’s a lot going on all around you, Logistics is also becoming more and more important, and the market we serve is slowly changing. We are seeing enormous growth in e-commerce, which requires innovative solutions and continuous optimization of logistical processes.
Automation
Automation plays an ever bigger role in stocking, storing, and picking goods in the warehouse. HTG was one of the first companies to work with AutoStore, a revolutionary system that prepares orders for efficient picking by colleagues in the warehouse.
Contact
You will have lots of contact with colleagues and external contacts, depending on the type of role you carry out. You are aware of what is going on around you, you are in regular contact with your commercial colleagues about (for instance) incoming and outgoing orders, and you work closely with the goods transporters.
Development
We strongly encourage personal development at the Logistics departments, as well as being committed to and involved in the development of HTG. How can we store our goods even more efficiently? And how can we ensure that the goods get to their destinations ever faster? Just a few examples of what Logistics works on every day.
