Job Title: Coventry Hub and DC Manager

Location: Coventry

Hours of work: 40 hours per week. Flexibility essential

Reporting to: Director, Distribution

ByBox is a market leader and supply chain innovator, providing extremely reliable “last mile” delivery of critical replacement parts to the global field service industry. ByBox provides end-to-end supply chain solutions used by hundreds of large businesses in the UK and around the world.

In today’s digital world, every company is a “services” company. Successful companies will be the ones who exceed ever increasing customer expectations. Field service has become a crucial battleground, as delivery windows and SLA’s get tighter. Every service moment is an opportunity to solve, optimise and delight our customers – or fail, and give the competition an opening to exploit. Companies are investing billions to automate and optimise field service workers, but are still failing to achieve world class service because of the inventory modernisation gap. Old inventory management approaches are falling apart at the edge of customer service.

ByBox solves this problem through our unique and advanced technology platforms and smart locks which ensure that both the part and the service engineer are at the right place at the right time. Our solutions extend enhanced intelligence, visibility and security to critical spare parts inventory at the dynamic field service edge, turning any space into a secure site to optimise placement of critical parts – so that the parts that matter are in the places that matter in the time frames that matter, without breaking the bank. In our UK base, we fulfil our mission by providing unparalleled on-time, in-night deliveries through eight strategically located distribution centres, a network of over 30,000 proprietary Smart Lockers, and a reliable network of third-party delivery services. ByBox is profitable and has global annual revenues in excess of £70M.
