Find out how we can help you
150+ companies trust us
The distribution of cold drinks requires agility, synchronization and stock control
The marked seasonality and promotional campaigns generate consumption peaks that are difficult to predict. Connecting forecasting, inventory and production allows you to avoid breakages, optimize stock and maintain profitability in a highly competitive market.
Extreme seasonality and unpredictable consumption peaks
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Increase in demand in heat waves
Demand peaks occur without room for reaction, generating breaks at critical points.
-
Linear forecasts that do not capture real variations
Traditional models do not reflect the volatility of consumption, causing excess or shortage of product.
-
Promotions generate unexpected consumption peaks without prior planning.
Predictive planning integrates different variables, allowing stock and replenishment to be adjusted in advance.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Identification of demand patterns
Predictive planning integrates different variables, allowing stock and replenishment to be adjusted in advance.
-
Advanced forecasting algorithms
Algorithms adjust forecasts based on demand by region, channel and category, improving accuracy and reducing deviations.
-
Alignment between departments
The integration between forecast and promotional calendar makes it possible to quantify the impact of each campaign and reinforce the replacement before the breakage occurs.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Independent stock management by warehouse or region
Each distribution center operates with its own information, which generates overstock in some areas and stockouts in others.
-
Poor batch traceability
The lack of control over product rotation generates losses or returns.
-
Urgent transfers and logistical extra costs
Emergency transfers between warehouses increase costs and reduce efficiency.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Multi-warehouse optimization
Consolidate all inventories into a centralized view and optimize automatic redistribution based on forecast demand and required service level.
-
FEFO Criteria
Predictive planning applies FEFO criteria, ensuring that products with shorter useful lives are prioritized in distribution and avoiding losses.
-
Smart replenishment
Predictive replenishment optimizes coverage levels and plans preventive transfers, reducing reactive transportation.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Disconnected planning between operational areas
Lack of communication between departments generates duplicate orders or lack of product.
-
Reactive transportation and high logistics cost
Urgent orders require partial and off-route deliveries.
-
Difficulty prioritizing critical deliverables
Without global visibility, all deliveries are managed the same, affecting key customers.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Demand, purchasing and logistics alignment
The integration of demand, supply and transportation under the same system aligns calendars and reduces operational incidents.
-
Order Optimization
Predictive planning allows you to consolidate loads and anticipate optimal routes, minimizing incomplete trips and extra costs.
-
Order Prioritization
The system automatically prioritizes orders according to their commercial impact, guaranteeing OTIF compliance for strategic clients.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Lack of visibility of real consumption at the point of sale
Forecasts are based on historical orders, without taking into account final demand.
-
Differences between orders and operational forecast
Distributors do not update the forecast when order patterns change.
-
Lack of communication with retail
Limited information exchange with the point of sale prevents precise replenishment planning.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Conversion of sell-out into net demand
Predictive planning converts sell-out data into net demand, adjusting replenishment to consumers' real needs.
-
Display of deviations between orders and forecast
The system detects deviations and recalculates the forecast automatically, synchronizing orders with current demand.
-
Increased communication with retail
Digital collaboration between distributors and retailers improves sales visibility and allows anticipating product replacement based on actual consumption.
-
-
Costs for returns and losses
Returns due to overstock or expired products increase logistics costs.
Predictive algorithms adjust coverage levels and prioritize product rotation to minimize returns.
Low operational analysis capacity
Decisions are based on historical data without predictive visibility.
Intelligent dashboards allow you to analyze deviations, predict trends and define corrective actions in real time.
