Transferable skills
Data analysis
In this industry, data is vital – all good logistics managers need to be able to read and analyse data to recognise different trends and patterns that are useful to their firms. Using spreadsheets to plan and execute projects is also essential, along with strong mathematical skills, which are valuable in calculating pricing and delivery times.
Industry knowledge
Being clued up on the latest trends, technologies and developments in the industry can give you an edge at work or during the recruitment process. Industry knowledge helps ensure that a company’s processes are competitive and efficient and deliver the best value for clients.
Tech skills
Technology is changing the workplace, and this is especially true in the logistics sector. With companies looking to remain competitive, introducing new technology and automation is especially relevant in this sector. This gives people excellent opportunities to expand their skill sets over time.
Project management
Project management experience or knowledge can help you move up the ladder in your logistics career. These skills can allow you to be involved in risk management or developing new supply chain and logistics strategies.
