I joined ID Logistics in 2012 as an operations manager. In 2014, I joined the ID Indian Ocean subsidiary as site manager.

What have been the highlights of your career at ID?
the opening of a new site taking up my position as site manager in La Réunion

How do you feel in your current job?
My current job suits me and I feel I am in my element. I have support while also enjoying a large amount of freedom.

I joined ID in 2013 during an internship after finishing my degree following a supply chain seminar organised at my university. I joined the teams in South Africa directly in order to help with opening the country up at various levels: operational, training and projects. I am currently Operations and Development Engineer in Johannesburg.

Training
I was trained in the WMS tool as soon as I joined the company. Later on I benefited from an integration course as I worked at various ID Logistics sites.

What are your main duties?
My job has two main aims. As an Operations Engineer, I work on logistics sites in order to implement optimisation and innovation solutions with operating staff at the level of processes, methods and tools. As an R&D Engineer, I carry out pre-project studies in order to offer our customers the best logistics solutions, thereby ensuring high quality distribution at reduced cost.

I won an internship in 2004 in the R&D department as part of my master’s degree programme, followed by a permanent position. In 2007, I joined the Operations Department to help with the development and structuring of the company. In 2011, the company assigned the Re-engineering and Start-up unit to me, with the management of a team of project managers. In 2013, wanting to take on new challenges, I moved into the role of site manager.

Why and how have you evolved?
My development at ID Logistics can be summarised as follows:
– My strong commitment in the duties assigned to me and my desire to work as part of a team.
– The notion that a job is what you want to make of it. The company’s development means that you need to play a driving role in your position.
– Proximity and communication with management, meaning that everyone is able to express their professional aspirations.

During my career with ID Logistics, I have been able to hold a variety of positions such as stock manager, process manager, warehouse manager and operations manager. This has enabled me to acquire a wide range of experience and extensive knowledge. I am currently R&D manager.

Why and how have you evolved?
In most cases, these were offers made to me by my line managers. Only my last promotion was a result of my own initiative.

How do you feel in your current job? What are your main duties?
I am pleased with my new job. I have the opportunity to get to know customers “on the other side”. Previously I worked on projects that had already been agreed, while now I have a real impact on new contracts. My past experience gives me a better understanding of customer needs. My main duties are preparing and selling logistics services and promoting innovation.

I joined ID Logistics in 2013 as a WMS administrator. My role was to help operators and pickers with using Infolog. I then moved into the role of WMS Specialist, being the first level of Infolog support on site. I am still in this position today but my duties have been extended to include supporting other sites.

My main responsibilities are providing support at our sites, creating the BO reports demanded by sites, updating documentation after changes in operating processes, and monitoring equipment on site. I look forward to the launch of new projects in order to continue to develop my skills and work with an international support team.
