The cosmetics industry combines high turnover and continuous releases
Demand is impacted by campaigns, seasonality and changes in consumer trends. Precise and connected planning allows you to anticipate peaks, avoid overstocks and ensure availability in increasingly demanding multichannel environments.
The main challenges facing the cosmetics industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Limited shelf life of cosmetic products
Cosmetic products with limited expiration dates, which makes their efficient management and planning difficult.
-
Excess manufacturing or purchasing
Manufacturing or purchasing in excess generates losses subject to regulations and reputational risk due to product destruction.
-
Planning without expiration control
Global plan without distinguishing expiration causes false coverage and breakages, affecting the availability and reliability of the inventory.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Lot and location management
Stock controlled by lot and status to guarantee traceability and regulatory compliance.
-
Elimination of shrinkage on time
Regulatory compliance and capital release through early detection of products about to expire.
-
Inventory optimization
Avoid planning with expired batches, ensuring a real view of the available stock and reducing losses.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long lead times of critical ingredients
Long lead times for critical cosmetic ingredients or active ingredients make planning difficult and create the risk of production interruptions.
-
Fluctuating demand and high MOQs
Fluctuating real demand and high MOQs cause excess inventory or shortages, complicating purchasing management.
-
Dependence on the main supplier
Delays from the main supplier stop production, affecting operational continuity and the ability to respond to the market.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Supplier alternation
Automatically switches to the second supplier if the main supplier fails, guaranteeing continuity of supply and compliance with deadlines.
-
Maximum adjustable coverage
Control stock and minimize risks through flexible coverage policies adapted to the level of criticality of the product.
-
MOQs and order management
Avoid duplicating dangerous inventory by optimizing order volumes according to minimum requirements and real consumption.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Constant evolution of the portfolio
Portfolio changes every quarter with new formulations, sizes or colors, making the stability of planning and inventory management difficult.
-
Extremely short life cycles
Many SKUs survive only two campaigns before being replaced, generating breakage, obsolescence and operational complexity.
-
Inaccurate forecast and operational imbalances
Unreliable forecast causes late orders, stockouts or excess stock that expires, affecting margin and service level.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Forecast from day one
Credible forecast for new products from their launch, aligning development, marketing and planning.
-
Long-term capacity projection
Plan production capacity and purchases with an extended vision, anticipating future launches and substitutions.
-
Alignment between commercial areas and production
Avoid non-compliance and losses due to stock destruction through coordinated planning between sales, operations and purchases.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Expensive changes to lines and packaging
Production and packaging lines share costly changeovers and cleaning times, reducing efficiency and productive capacity.
-
Planning at infinite capacity
Planning at infinite capacity generates overlapping orders, resource mismatches and loss of productivity.
-
Lack of daily operational visibility
Lack of daily visibility increases the risk of non-compliance with priority orders and delays decision making.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Realistic Gantt
Respect changeover times and minimum manufacturing frequency for planning adjusted to real capacity.
-
Saturation display
It allows you to negotiate shifts and subcontracting, balancing workload and avoiding bottlenecks.
-
Minimization of non-compliance risks
Optimizes production and delivery windows to guarantee order fulfillment and improve customer service.

Impact of promotions and campaigns
Temporary spikes distort the base forecast.

Distributed network and internal transfers
Stock in wrong location generates urgent transportation.
Centralize inventory visibility and proactively plan internal transfers to balance stock and reduce logistics costs.
