Logistics Coordinator
Walex Products Company
Logistics Coordinator
Company: Walex Products Company, Inc.
Location: Leland, NC
Summary
The Logistics Coordinator reviews open orders and determines optimal shipping method, freight class, and pallet/piece counts to ensure timely, cost-effective delivery while meeting customer requirements. Given Walex’s extensive SKU catalog, this role requires applying product-specific shipping configurations correctly across a wide range of items. This role serves as the link among sales, shipping, and freight carriers to ensure orders are shipped correctly the first time.
Key Responsibilities
• Review orders to determine weight, piece count, and pallet count, and select the appropriate ship method (ground vs. LTL)
• Apply product-specific shipping configurations across a large and varied SKU catalog, where packaging, weight, and handling requirements differ by item
• Identify and apply customer-specific shipping requirements, such as residential delivery, liftgate service, or delivery appointments
• Use Odyssey (or designated TMS) to obtain freight quotes and select the carrier/method that best balances customer needs and company cost
• Maintain accurate, timely documentation to support on-time shipping and accurate billing
Qualifications
• 1–3+ years of experience in logistics, shipping, freight coordination, or order fulfillment (manufacturing or distribution environment preferred)
• Ability to learn and retain product-specific shipping requirements across a high volume of SKUs; comfort working with complexity and exceptions rather than one-size-fits-all rules
• Familiarity with LTL/ground freight processes, BOLs, and freight classification required
• Experience with TMS/freight quoting tools (Odyssey or similar) preferred
• Working knowledge of ERP systems (NetSuite preferred)
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple orders simultaneously
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
