Conduct cost‑to‑serve, lane profitability, and service trade‑off analyses to support commercial and operational decisions.

Extract and integrate data from ERP, TMS, WMS, 3PL partners, and external sources to support modeling and insights.
Build dashboards and reports that translate complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for leadership.
Business Case Development & Strategy Support
Prepare business cases for network and logistics initiatives, including financial impact, risks, and implementation considerations.
Contribute to the development of a multi‑year Canadian network optimization roadmap aligned with Saint‑Gobain’s strategic priorities.
