Inventory Control Supervisor

Source Logistics
Des Plaines, IL

About Us:

At Source Logistics, we specialize in offering customized logistics and supply chain solutions in US markets, including Full Service Warehousing, Order Processing, E-commerce Fulfillment, Marketing Fulfillment, Complete Transportation Solutions, and Information/Data Supply Chain Services.

We support a variety of industries such as food and beverage, apparel, retail, health and beauty, medical, industrial, technology, financial, and more. Our mission is to help US and foreign-based companies expand their presence in the US by delivering competitive and tailored supply chain solutions.

We currently manage 5.6 million square feet of warehouse space, strategically located throughout the US, with facilities in Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL, N. Monroe, NJ; Portland, OR; Houston, TX; and Laredo, TX.

About The Role:

We’re a multi-client 3PL running high-volume, fast-turn distribution. The Inventory Supervisor owns inventory accuracy and control processes across inbound, storage, and outbound. You’ll lead the IC team, drive root-cause fixes, and partner with Ops, Client Services, and Quality to hit SLAs and KPIs.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead daily/weekly cycle counts, recounts, and location audits; close variances with documented root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Monitor and improve inventory accuracy (units & locations), dock-to-stock timeliness, and shrink.
  • Manage quarantine/hold inventory, damages, adjustments, returns, RTVs, and aged/obsolete stock per client SOPs.
  • Reconcile WMS ↔ ERP (e.g., SAP/Oracle) exceptions; clear interface errors and post adjustments with proper approvals.
  • Own physical inventories (quarterly/annual): planning, staffing, execution, and reconciliation.
  • Optimize slotting, replenishment triggers, and storage utilization with data-driven recommendations.
  • Maintain and update SOPs/Work Instructions; train, coach, and schedule the IC team; handle performance feedback.
  • Publish daily/weekly KPI dashboards and variance reports; communicate risks and recovery plans to stakeholders.
  • Partner with Receiving/Shipping to reduce mis-picks, mislabeled pallets, and ASN/receipt discrepancies.
  • Ensure compliance with client requirements and site standards (5S, safety, HACCP/food-grade or pharma/lot control if applicable).

Requirements:

  • 3–5+ years inventory control experience in a 3PL or high-volume distribution environment; 1–2+ years in a lead/supervisory role.
  • Strong WMS skills (Manhattan, Blue Yonder/JDA, Körber/HighJump, SAP EWM, or similar) and RF equipment knowledge.
  • Excel (pivots, lookups) required; Power BI/Looker/Tableau or basic SQL a plus.
  • Knowledge of cycle counting methods (ABC, control group), lot/serial tracking, and SKU master data hygiene.
  • Proven ability to run stand-ups, set priorities, and coach a diverse hourly team in a production setting.
  • Clear, concise communication with operators, leaders, and clients.
  • Work Environment & Physical Requirements
  • Warehouse environment; standing/walking up to 10 hours; lift/push/pull up to 40–50 lbs as needed.
  • Ability to work off-shifts/weekends during inventories or peak.
  • Occasional travel between regional sites (up to 10–15%).

Bonus Points:

  • Warehouse/ 3PL/ Logistics experience.
  • Bilingual English and Spanish IS A BIG PLUS!

Perks:

  • Solid benefits package
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Competitive PTO policy
  • Career growth opportunities
