IT Specialist - Supply Chain Systems & Integrations

At Wills Transfer, technology plays a critical role in keeping our customers' supply chains moving. From the moment an order is received to the time a shipment leaves our warehouse and an invoice is generated, our systems connect the people, processes, and information that make it all happen.

We're looking for an IT Specialist – Supply Chain Systems & Integrations who enjoys solving problems, understanding how systems work together, and finding better ways to get things done.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a combination of technical expertise, supply chain knowledge, and a customer-focused mindset. You'll work closely with our warehouse operations, customer service, finance, and sales teams to support the systems that keep our business running.

If you're someone who enjoys digging into an issue, following it through to resolution, and continuously learning new technologies, we'd love to hear from you.

Testing & Continuous Improvement

• Test system changes, upgrades, and new functionality before implementation.
• Coordinate user acceptance testing with internal teams and clients.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual processes, improve data accuracy, and increase operational efficiency.
• Participate in new technology implementations and develop expertise in emerging systems.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone who combines strong technical problem-solving skills with a genuine understanding of how technology supports business operations.

Required Qualifications

• Understanding of supply chain workflows, including receiving, inventory management, order processing, shipping, and billing.
• Hands-on experience using SQL to investigate data, validate transactions, and generate reports.
• Practical knowledge of EDI, APIs, JSON, and other system integration methods.
• Experience testing system changes and supporting user acceptance testing.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills
• Demonstrated ability to learn new systems quickly and work independently through unfamiliar technical challenges.

Postsecondary education in information systems, computer science, supply chain technology, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent demonstrated experience and capability will also be considered.

Additional Assets

• Experience with Excalibur or another warehouse management system.

• Microsoft Dynamics Business Central or NAV.
