The distribution of fresh products requires precision, agility and total coordination

The distribution of fresh products requires precision, agility and total coordination

The distribution of fruits, vegetables, dairy products or prepared dishes requires absolute precision: every hour counts and any imbalance can translate into loss of freshness or profitability. Distribution companies must manage multiple warehouses, routes and points of sale, maintaining a balance between service, costs and sustainability.

Waste due to expiration and overstock

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Loss of value due to short useful life

      Fresh produce loses quality and value in a matter of hours if not managed correctly.

    • Inaccurate forecast leading to oversupply

      Inaccurate forecasts lead to over-purchasing and products that end up being thrown away.

    • Lack of visibility in stock rotation

      The absence of control between warehouses prevents timely action on products that are about to expire.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • FEFO System

      The FEFO system automates rotation and prioritizes batches with the shortest shelf life, reducing expiration dates and waste.

    • Real-time adjustment

      The predictive forecast adjusts demand in real time based on sales, weather and campaigns, reducing waste and improving profitability.

    • Total stock visibility

      Integrated planning provides complete inventory visibility, generating proactive alerts and redistribution suggestions.

    Waste due to expiration and overstock
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Unforeseeable demand spikes

      Promotions, holidays or weather conditions alter purchasing patterns.

    • Mismatch between sales and logistics capacity

      Consumption peaks generate bottlenecks in transportation and picking.

    • Excess stock after campaigns

      Once the promotions have ended, the excess of perishable products reduces margins and increases waste.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Analysis of external variables

      Predictive planning incorporates seasonal variables and campaigns, anticipating demand and adjusting coverage by point of sale.

    • Synchronization with forecast

      The system synchronizes forecast, capacity and routes, balancing the operational load and guaranteeing punctual deliveries.

    • Recalculation of coverage

      AI models recalculate coverage after each campaign and propose automatic settlements or redistributions.

    Volatile demand due to promotions and seasonality
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Delays in the arrival of raw materials or products

      Variable delivery times affect service continuity.

    • Urgent orders and unplanned purchases

      Logistic emergencies increase transportation and handling costs.

    • High MOQs that generate overstock

      Purchase minimums imposed by suppliers cause product accumulation.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Supplier evaluation

      Evaluate supplier performance and anticipate risks, adjusting orders according to actual deadlines and available coverage.

    • Consolidate demand and purchases

      Predictive planning consolidates demand and optimizes purchasing frequencies, avoiding emergencies.

    • Distribution between centers or clients

      AI analyzes aggregate demand and distributes volumes between centers or clients, reducing immobilized capital.

    Stock outages due to unstable suppliers and variable lead times
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Misalignment between distribution centers

      Warehouses operate with independent data, generating stock imbalances.

    • Unnecessary transfers and extra costs

      Unplanned relocations increase logistics costs and the risk of breaking the cold chain.

    • Lack of traceability and operational control

      The location and conditions of the product are not monitored in real time.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Multilevel planning

      Multilevel planning centralizes information and optimizes the automatic redistribution of product between centers.

    • Plan transfers

      Plan internal transfers based on actual demand and refrigerated storage capacity.

    • Digital traceability

      IoT traceability allows you to control temperature, times and locations, guaranteeing compliance and freshness.

    Multi-warehouse complexity and transfer management
  • High turnover and replacement of references
    High turnover and replacement of references

    Changes in formats or presentations break forecast histories.

    Adaptive forecasting automatically adjusts forecasts based on new SKUs or market trends.

    Low accuracy of manual forecast
    Low accuracy of manual forecast

    Estimates based on experience generate biases and cost overruns.

    Predictive algorithms learn from historical patterns and automatically adjust forecasts.

    Overcost due to transportation emergencies
    Overcost due to transportation emergencies

    Off-route deliveries increase logistics costs and reduce margins.
