During my internship period I had an opportunity to work in a multi functional company SIA “REĢI” in the logistics department. The company is located in Latvia, Jurmala. It provides different kind of services as retail shops, bars, logistics and others. I spend in this company 5 month working full-time as an expeditor.
My main duties during this internship were: making routes for the transport units, receiving orders from costumers for further deliveries, coordinate work hours of drivers ( due to EU and national legislations of maximum working hours of drivers), make weekly and monthly reports about each transport unit.
There were occasion when I had to follow with the drivers through the routes to help them and receive new information from costumers.
To sum up from my internship I gained much greater knowledge about business and how it needs to be run.
The internship also helped me a lot during my studies with two projects, one was specialization project and other was final project where I was writing about the possibility to open a logistic company in Latvia.
