Lack of control over stock rotation
Excess inventory causes unnecessary expiration and shrinkage.
Planning by best before dates (FEFO) ensures correct rotation and reduces losses.

Hot beverage distribution requires total forethought and timing
In the distribution of hot drinks, the variability of demand, seasonal promotions and the wide diversity of formats complicate planning. Maintaining availability without inflating inventory requires visibility, agility and foresight.
Seasonality and demand oscillations
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Consumption peaks in winter and in promotions
The consumption of coffees, teas and infusions increases in winter and during special campaigns, generating fluctuations that are difficult to anticipate.
-
Planning based on linear history
Static forecasts do not reflect real consumer behavior and cause breakages or excess product.
-
Lack of coordination with points of sale
Replenishment is carried out without taking into account the rotation or capacity of each client or channel.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Smart Forecasting
AI-based forecasting models identify consumption patterns by region and period, automatically adjusting stock and replenishment to seasonal peaks.
-
Forecast with focus on external variables
The system updates forecasts in real time with external signals (temperature, promotions, holidays), reducing deviations and emergencies.
-
Connection with sell-out
Predictive planning connects forecasts with sell-out, prioritizing replenishments according to turnover and margin per customer.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Lack of visibility between warehouses and routes
Stock is managed independently by location, generating duplications or urgent transfers.
-
Overstock in low turnover references
Products with lower output take up space and reduce operational profitability.
-
Difficulty balancing service and cost
Reducing inventory compromises availability, while keeping it high affects margins.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Optimization of multi-warehouse management
Multi-warehouse integration centralizes information and optimizes automatic redistribution according to local coverage and demand.
-
ABC-XYZ segmentation of references
ABC-XYZ segmentation and predictive rotation adjust stock levels by category, reducing tied up capital and shrink.
-
Advanced optimization algorithms
The optimization algorithms determine the balance point between service, rotation and cost, guaranteeing availability at the lowest possible cost.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Disconnected planning between areas
Purchasing, logistics and demand work in silos, generating duplicate or poorly scheduled orders.
-
Reactive and inefficient transport
Express deliveries and partial loads increase logistics costs.
-
Lack of traceability in deliveries
There is no complete visibility into order status or fulfillment.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Demand plan connected to the entire company
Integrated planning connects demand, supply and transportation under a single calendar, improving coherence and reducing cost overruns.
-
Order Optimization
The system groups orders and optimizes routes according to priority and location, reducing kilometers traveled and emissions.
-
Integration with other systems
The integration with TMS and ERP allows real-time tracking of each order, from origin to delivery, guaranteeing traceability and OTIF compliance.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Lack of accurate real consumption data
Distributors rely on historical orders with no connection to the final sale.
-
Deviations between forecast and actual orders
The difference between what is planned and what is ordered generates breakages or overstock.
-
Low visibility of consumption points
Without consolidated information, replenishments are not prioritized correctly.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Conversion of sell-out into net demand
Predictive planning converts sell-out into net demand, improving the alignment between replenishment and actual consumption.
-
Display of deviations between orders and forecast
The system detects deviations between forecast and orders, automatically adjusting replenishment based on current demand.
-
Collaborative consumption adjustment
The collaborative forecast with key clients allows planning based on real consumption data, improving service and reducing emergencies.
-
-
Poor coordination between channels
The different channels (retail, horeca, vending) operate with independent forecasts.
The consolidation of multi-channel demand aligns forecasts and optimizes replacement by customer type.
High costs for urgent deliveries
Lack of anticipation generates partial or off-route shipments.
Predictive planning prioritizes deliveries and consolidates loads, reducing last-minute shipments and associated costs.
