ERP Inventory Accuracy Specialist

What this role is about: You’ll be the steward of inventory accuracy—recording, validating, and improving stock data in Epicor to elevate service for both internal teams and external customers. Your work directly reduces excess stock, limits shipping errors, and keeps operations running smoothly.

A day in your life

You start by reviewing overnight Epicor transactions, then head to the floor for targeted cycle counts. You compare physical counts to system records, note discrepancies, and connect with the Transaction Control team and managers to resolve variances. Midday, you analyze inventory trends, explain the “why” behind issues, and recommend fixes. By afternoon, you log corrective transactions, track KPI results, and contribute ideas to streamline the process. Throughout, you uphold 5S and safety—OSHA compliance included—and complete any assigned admin tasks.
