Hi! I’m thinking of jumping into the logistics and e-commerce industry, but there’s something bugging me. Do you really need to be good at maths to do well? I know there’s a lot of stock-taking, inventory checks, and probably numbers flying around. My maths isn’t exactly top-notch so I’m a bit worried about whether that’ll hold me back. For those in the industry, is it something I should be extra concerned about, or are there other skills more important to focus on? Appreciate any advice!

Honestly, don’t stress too much about the math. You won’t be doing complex calculations by hand—most of it’s system-based now. What really helps is being quick on your feet, handling pressure, and having good communication skills. If you’ve got that, you’ll do great in the industry!
