SPAR Group is inviting suitably qualified applicants to apply for its Replenishment Clerk Vacancy (1 Post). This is a permanent job opportunity based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). The closing date for applications is 30 September 2026. Applicants with Matric and FMCG industry experience who are comfortable working with orders, stock information, numbers and computer systems may consider applying.
If you have experience in retail, fast-moving consumer goods or stock administration, this opportunity could be worth a closer look. The position involves supporting a category buyer and helping make sure products are ordered, tracked and managed correctly.
The job is not only about paperwork. A Replenishment Clerk plays an important role in helping stores receive the products they need and keeping product and supplier information accurate.
The SPAR Replenishment Clerk position is a permanent opportunity within the wholesale and retail trade industry.
The successful candidate will provide administrative and procurement support to the category buyer. You will also work with retailers, suppliers and internal teams while helping with orders, product information and stock-related tasks.
Because many of the duties need to be completed every day, the successful applicant should be organised and able to work accurately under time pressure.
Here are the main details you should know before applying:
A Replenishment Clerk helps make sure that products move through the ordering and supply process smoothly.
The role involves working with orders, suppliers, stores, product information and stock reports.
One of the main parts of the job is supporting the category buyer with daily administration. You may also need to communicate with retailers and suppliers when there are questions or problems with orders.
This means the successful candidate should be comfortable working with people as well as computer systems and numbers.
The SPAR Replenishment Clerk will have several responsibilities as part of the daily retail and procurement process.
The successful applicant will need to ensure that orders are processed through EDI daily.
EDI is used to electronically exchange order and business information between companies. Because this process needs to happen every day, the candidate must be organised and able to work according to deadlines.
The Replenishment Clerk will provide administrative support to the category buyer.
This may include handling information, updating records and helping with different procurement-related tasks.
Being able to keep information organised will be important in this role.
The successful candidate will also be responsible for loading new products onto the system.
Product information needs to be entered correctly so that stores and other teams have access to the right details.
Attention to detail is therefore very important.
The role includes checking order exception reports every day.
The successful candidate will need to identify non-deliveries and take the necessary action.
This means you will need to notice when something has not been delivered as expected and follow up according to the required process.
Store orders will also need to be processed.
The Replenishment Clerk must ensure that supplier orders are properly signed and stamped.
This requires careful administration and good record keeping.
The successful candidate will capture additional demands and promotional deal information.
This includes recording the start and end dates of promotional deals.
Correct dates are important because promotions need to run according to the agreed schedule.
Another important responsibility is maintaining accurate information for existing products.
Product records need to be kept up to date so that the correct information is available to retailers, suppliers and internal teams.
A person who enjoys organised work and checking details may find this part of the job suitable.
The Replenishment Clerk may also assist retailers when they need product or promotional information.
This means customer service skills are important.
You should be able to communicate clearly and professionally when dealing with retailers and other stakeholders.
The role also includes conducting daily telesales.
This means the successful applicant should be comfortable communicating with people over the telephone.
Good communication skills can help when speaking to retailers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
Stock management is another important part of the position.
The Replenishment Clerk will monitor short-dated and ageing stock.
Keeping track of this type of stock can help the business manage products properly and reduce potential stock problems.
The candidate will therefore need to pay attention to stock information and follow the required processes.
Applicants should meet the minimum requirements before applying.
The position requires:
Experience in fast-moving consumer goods, retail, merchandising, stock administration or a related environment may be useful because the position involves many of these areas.
The right skills and attitude are important for this position.
The Replenishment Clerk will work with orders, product records, stock information and promotional dates.
A small mistake can affect an order or product record, so you need to check your work carefully.
The job requires a good numerical aptitude.
You may work with orders, quantities, stock information and other figures, so you should be comfortable working with numbers.
Good communication is needed when dealing with retailers, suppliers, the category buyer and other internal stakeholders.
The successful applicant should be able to communicate clearly in English, both verbally and in writing.
This is an administrative position, so good organisational skills are important.
You should be able to keep information organised, complete daily tasks and meet deadlines.
Although the position is a clerk role, it includes assisting retailers and handling queries.
Being customer-focused can help you build positive relationships with the people you work with.
A retail store needs the right products at the right time.
If stock is not ordered or delivered correctly, stores may not have enough products available for customers.
This is why replenishment is an important part of the retail supply chain.
The Replenishment Clerk helps support this process by making sure orders are processed, non-deliveries are followed up, product information is updated and stock is monitored.
The role therefore connects several parts of the business, including buyers, suppliers and retailers.
