150+ companies trust us
The distribution of snacks, sweets and nuts requires precision, flexibility and rotation control
The snacks, sweets and nuts sector combines high turnover with a demand marked by seasonality, promotions and frequent launches. Distribution companies must balance coverage, freshness and profitability, managing multiple channels and locations.
Losses due to expiration and inefficient rotation
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Products with limited useful life
Snacks and sweets coated or with fresh ingredients require constant rotation to avoid spoilage.
-
Lack of visibility by lot or location
Limited traceability prevents anticipating risks of obsolescence or adjusting promotions.
-
Stock obsolete or blocked in warehouse
Excess inventory generates financial costs and risk of product loss.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
FEFO System
The FEFO system automates rotation by expiration date and prioritizes batches close to expiration, reducing waste and returns.
-
Full visibility
Centralized planning offers complete visibility of inventory by lot and warehouse, allowing agile and preventive decisions.
-
Coverage adjustment and alert activation
Automatically adjust coverages and activate alerts when lots exceed their optimal sales window.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Fluctuations due to campaigns and events
Promotions or special dates such as Christmas or Easter drastically alter demand.
-
Forecast inaccurate due to short consumption cycles
Monthly forecasts do not reflect weekly variations in demand.
-
Overcost after promotion spikes
Returns or post-campaign excess affect margins and saturate warehouses.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Separate base demand and campaigns
Predictive planning separates base demand from promotional campaigns, anticipating peaks and adjusting production.
-
Forecast granular
The weekly granular forecast automatically updates forecasts based on actual sales and replenishment pace.
-
Spread demand to anticipate peaks
Recalculate post-promotion coverage and automatically redistribute the excess between centers or channels.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Disconnected planning between departments
Without integration between forecasting, supply and logistics, optimization opportunities are lost.
-
Express transportation for misaligned orders
Lack of synchronization causes partial deliveries or high-cost reshipments.
-
Irregular lead times from international suppliers
Variable deadlines alter the stock balance and compromise the continuity of the service.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Connection between areas
The system connects forecast, orders and logistics, aligning purchases and routes with real demand.
-
Order consolidation
Predictive planning consolidates orders, optimizing full loads and reducing reactive transportation.
-
Scenario simulation
Simulate supply scenarios and adjust orders based on supplier availability and performance.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Unbalanced inventory between warehouses
Some centers accumulate stock while others suffer breakages.
-
Stock duplication between channels
Separate management of retail and online generates operational inefficiencies.
-
Lack of traceability in internal transfers
The lack of control in movements generates imbalances in stock accounting.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Multilevel planning
Multilevel planning redistributes inventory according to coverage, rotation and local demand.
-
Consolidation of omnichannel forecasting
Consolidate the omnichannel forecast, balancing availability between both environments.
-
Digital transfer control
Digital transfer control records every movement and automatically adjusts inventory levels.
-
-
Lack of control over profitability by product or channel
Decisions are made based on volume, not margin.
The dashboards integrate logistics costs, margin and rotation, identifying the most profitable products.
High operational load and manual errors
Manual tasks slow down planning and generate calculation errors.
Automation with AI simplifies inventory management and generates proactive alerts for deviations.
