Distribution in food service and hospitality requires anticipation, traceability and operational efficiency
Distributors in the food service and hospitality channel manage an environment of high turnover, perishable products and consumption peaks linked to seasonality or events. Ensuring availability in restaurants, hotels or communities requires complete visibility, agile planning and strict control of freshness.
The main challenges facing the food service and hospitality industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Consumption peaks due to events or tourist season
Changes in hotel traffic or gastronomic activity cause unforeseen fluctuations in demand.
-
Forecast based on historical only
The forecasts do not reflect the dynamics of the Horeca channel, generating overstock or breakages.
-
Difficulty in aligning demand with logistics
Demand increases do not always coincide with transportation or storage capacity.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Incorporate external variables
Predictive planning incorporates seasonal variables, events and weather data to anticipate peaks and adjust replenishment.
-
Recalculation according to trends
Recalculate the forecast weekly according to real trends, avoiding deviations and waste.
-
Synchronization between areas
Planning synchronizes demand, stock and transportation, ensuring a coordinated response without saturating the chain.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Products with short shelf life and multiple formats
Managing different formats and expiration dates increases inventory complexity.
-
Lack of visibility on stock status
Discrepancies between physical and theoretical inventory cause losses and errors in orders.
-
Shrinkage due to oversupply
Excess fresh product blocks space and generates expiration dates.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
FEFO System
FEFO control automates rotation and generates alerts to prioritize products that are soon to expire.
-
Synchronization between warehouses
Real-time synchronization between warehouses guarantees precision and control of refrigerated stock.
-
Adjust orders according to demand
Predictive planning adjusts orders to rotation and real demand, minimizing waste and optimizing chamber occupancy.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Isolated planning between departments
Purchasing, sales and logistics areas operate without shared information.
-
Reactive transport and high costs
Urgent or partial deliveries increase operating costs and environmental footprint.
-
Lack of traceability and temperature control
Sensitive products lose quality if logistical conditions are not controlled.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Connect forecasting, purchasing and logistics
Integrated planning connects forecasting, procurement and transportation into a single flow, aligning decisions and delivery times.
-
Anticipation in order management
Consolidate orders, optimize routes and plan deliveries in advance, reducing empty kilometers and unplanned transportation.
-
Reduction of micro-stops
Integration with other systems guarantees thermal traceability and continuous control of transport conditions.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Orders disconnected from final consumption
Customers place orders without based on actual sales, causing overstock or breakage.
-
Returns due to oversupply
Excess product delivered results in returns and additional costs.
-
Lack of collaboration with points of sale
Limited data exchange makes it impossible to predict consumption behavior.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Sell-in/sell-out synchronization
Predictive planning converts consumption data into real forecast, synchronizing sell-in and sell-out.
-
Coverage per client
Adjust coverage per customer and generate proactive replenishment suggestions based on effective turnover.
-
Collaborative planning
Collaborative planning integrates information from key customers to anticipate replenishments and maintain service levels.
-
-
Extra cost due to returns or losses
Lack of rotation generates waste and additional transportation costs.
Predictive turnover control and FEFO planning reduce waste and optimize logistics flow.
Little visibility of profitability by customer or channel
Lack of operational analysis makes it difficult to identify the most profitable customers.
The dashboards integrate financial and logistical KPIs, facilitating decisions based on margin and rotation.
