Automotive distribution requires precision and total coordination in the supply chain
Distribution companies in the automotive sector manage a large volume of parts, components and accessories, with a high diversity of references and highly variable demand. The pressure to meet tight deadlines, avoid breakage, and reduce tied up capital requires full visibility and advance planning.
Lack of visibility on demand and actual stock
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Fragmented information between centers and channels
Distributors manage large warehouse networks with disconnected data, causing replenishment errors and reactive decisions.
-
Unstable demand due to variations in after-sales or campaigns
Changes in the market, promotions or part substitutions affect the demand forecast, generating excess or shortage of stock.
-
Difficulty identifying critical references
Without precise segmentation, resources are allocated homogeneously, affecting the availability of strategic pieces.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Unification of data on one platform
A unified platform centralizes inventory, orders and sales in real time, offering global visibility on the availability and rotation of each reference.
-
Demand forecasting with advanced algorithms
Algorithms adjust forecasts continuously, incorporating historical patterns and external data to anticipate changes and maintain a stable flow.
-
Product segmentation by impact
ABC-XYZ segmentation identifies key components by value and rotation, assigning automatic stock and replenishment priorities.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Coverage misaligned with actual demand
Distributors accumulate inventory for fear of breakage, blocking capital and warehouse space.
-
Low long-tail referral churn
The pieces with the lowest output remain in the warehouse for months without movement.
-
Poor visibility into inventory value
Obsolete or low-contributing products are not easily identified.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Adjust coverage with real data
Predictive planning adjusts coverage based on volatility and risk, balancing service with financial cost.
-
Differentiated replenishment policies
The system recommends differentiated replenishment policies, reducing automatic orders and redistributing stock according to rotation and area.
-
Stock rotation and capacity analysis
The rotation and overstock reports prioritize corrective actions, allowing you to free up space and reduce storage costs.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Mismatches between forecasting and supply
The lack of synchronization between forecast, purchases and transportation generates ruptures or logistical overruns.
-
Lack of dynamic planning in the event of delays or incidents
Any change in the chain generates emergencies or manual reprogramming.
-
Lack of traceability of deliveries and orders
Manual tracking causes errors and lack of control over actual availability.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Rotation and overstock report
Detect excess in units and import to prioritize corrective actions.
-
Obsolescence-sensitive inventory projection
Exclude expired batches from planning to avoid unnecessary purchases and losses.
-
Raw material segmentation
Reassign alternative uses and avoid waste, optimizing the use of resources.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
OTIF non-compliance in strategic clients
Incomplete or late deliveries deteriorate the relationship with manufacturers and workshops.
-
Extra cost due to emergencies and partial transports
The lack of foresight generates fragmented or urgent shipments that make the operation more expensive.
-
Difficulty measuring profitability by customer or channel
Operational decisions are made without a clear view of the contribution of each channel.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Reference Prioritization
Predictive forecasting prioritizes critical references and adjusts replenishment according to actual demand, guaranteeing a stable OTIF.
-
Order Optimization
Consolidated planning groups orders and optimizes routes according to priority, weight and availability, reducing costs and emissions.
-
Control panel to measure profitability
Integrated control panels allow you to analyze profitability by client, region or product, facilitating data-based decision making.
-
-
High response times to incidents
Manual adjustments for delays or breakages increase service times.
Dynamic replanning automates adjustments to incidents, maintaining operational continuity without affecting the client.
Lack of control over returns and replacements
Returns or replacements are not properly integrated into the forecast.
Predictive planning considers returns and replacements as signals of real demand, improving overall accuracy.
