Welcome to arenaflex – Your Next Career Destination
At arenaflex, we are a dynamic leader in freight forwarding, logistics solutions, and supply‑chain excellence. Our mission is to move the world’s goods with speed, accuracy, and integrity. From bustling ports to inland distribution hubs, we empower businesses to thrive by ensuring that every shipment is tracked, documented, and delivered on time. As we expand our operations in the Port Huron, MI region, we are looking for a meticulous, high‑energy Second‑Shift Data Entry Specialist to become a cornerstone of our documentation team.
Why This Role Is a Game‑Changer
Data entry in logistics is far more than typing numbers into a spreadsheet. It is the heartbeat of the supply chain—accurate data fuels real‑time tracking, compliance, billing, and customer satisfaction. On the second shift (4:00 PM – 12:30 AM), you will be the guardian of information, ensuring that every bill of lading, customs form, and carrier invoice is entered with razor‑sharp precision. If you love turning chaotic paperwork into clean, actionable data, this role offers the perfect blend of challenge and reward.
Key Responsibilities – What You’ll Own Every Day
- Rapid Document Processing: Scan, verify, and enter shipment documents—including bills of lading, freight invoices, customs declarations, and proof‑of‑delivery forms—within tight turnaround times.
- Quality Assurance & Double‑Checking: Perform comprehensive reviews of each entry, cross‑referencing data against shipping manifests, carrier statements, and internal tracking systems to eliminate errors.
- Data Integrity Management: Maintain master data tables, ensure consistent formatting, and flag discrepancies for resolution by the logistics coordinators.
- Shipment Tracking Support: Update real‑time tracking portals so internal teams and customers can see the exact status of every package.
- Cross‑Functional Communication: Liaise with the night‑shift dispatch team, warehouse staff, and carrier representatives to clarify documentation questions and resolve issues promptly.
- Process Improvement Initiatives: Suggest and pilot enhancements to data‑entry workflows, including template redesigns, automation scripts, and best‑practice checklists.
- Compliance Documentation: Ensure all entries meet regulatory standards (e.g., DOT, FMCSA, customs regulations) and are audit‑ready at any moment.
- Team Collaboration: Contribute to a supportive night‑shift culture, sharing knowledge, covering for teammates when needed, and participating in shift hand‑overs.
Essential Qualifications – The Foundations You Bring
- Typing Proficiency: Minimum 70 WPM with an error rate of less than 2 %—court‑stenographer speed is a great benchmark.
- Attention to Detail: Proven ability to spot even the smallest numerical or textual inconsistency.
- Experience with Logistics Documentation: At least 1‑2 years in a freight forwarding, warehouse, or transportation environment is preferred.
- Computer Literacy: Comfortable using Microsoft Office (especially Excel), cloud‑based document management systems, and basic ERP or TMS platforms.
- Organizational Skills: Demonstrated enthusiasm for structured workflows—color‑coded spreadsheets, folder hierarchies, and naming conventions are your allies.
- Shift Flexibility: Availability to work the second shift (4:00 PM – 12:30 AM), including occasional weekend coverage.
- Communication Ability: Clear written and verbal communication to interact with internal teams and external carriers.
Preferred Qualifications – Nice‑to‑Have Extras
- Experience with data‑entry automation tools (macros, Zapier, UiPath, etc.).
- Familiarity with import/export compliance regulations.
- Prior experience in a high‑volume call‑center or customer‑service environment.
- Basic knowledge of database concepts (SQL queries, data normalization).
- Certification in office administration, supply‑chain management, or related fields.
Core Skills & Competencies for Success
- Accuracy Under Pressure: Ability to maintain 99.9 % data accuracy while processing a high volume of entries.
- Multitasking Mastery: Juggle email correspondence, document scanning, data entry, and system updates without compromising quality.
- Problem‑Solving Mindset: Quickly identify missing or inconsistent data and take proactive steps to resolve issues.
