Retail in the chemical industry requires security, traceability and operational efficiency
Retail stores of chemical, cleaning or maintenance products manage a complex portfolio that combines dangerous, perishable and highly regulated products. Complying with regulations, ensuring traceability and optimizing stock are critical tasks.
The main challenges facing the chemical industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Difficulty in maintaining traceability by batch and date
Manual management of labels and safety sheets increases the risk of error or sanction.
-
Risks due to inadequate storage or mixing of products
Incompatibilities between chemicals can cause incidents or product losses.
-
Lack of visibility on the status of products
Stores lack information on expiration or chemical stability.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Digital traceability
Digital traceability centralizes batches, certificates and technical sheets, guaranteeing compliance with REACH and CLP regulations.
-
Identify incompatibilities
The planning system identifies incompatibilities and suggests safe locations, guaranteeing compliance with REACH regulations and ADR.
-
FEFO System
FEFO control automates rotation, prioritizing batches close to expiry and reducing shrinkage.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
High coverage on low-turnover products
Fear of running out of stock generates excess inventory and immobilized capital.
-
Lack of coordination between purchases and real demand
Orders are based on history or intuition, without updated data.
-
Low profitability due to inefficient mix of products
Low margin or slow exit items occupy profitable space.
How Imperia SCP solves it

Connection between demand, stock and purchases

Profitability dashboards
Profitability dashboards cross-check margin, turnover and cost data, optimizing the in-store assortment.

What does it mean for your company?
-
Large catalog with products with different regulations
The variety of products with different regulations makes display and replacement difficult.
-
Promotions without sufficient foresight
Campaigns generate peaks in demand or excess post-campaign product.
-
Difficulty in evaluating the commercial impact of promotions
Decisions are made without measuring the margin or post-campaign rotation.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Planning by attributes
Planning by attributes classifies products according to type, danger and rotation, automating differentiated stock policies.
-
Promotional forecast
The promotional forecast anticipates the expected demand and adjusts the coverage before and after each commercial action.
-
Profitability dashboard
The charts commands integrate sales, margin and coverage data, showing the real profitability of each action.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Manual orders and without prioritization
Orders are made without analyzing the rotation or real coverage.
-
Lack of control over deliveries and storage
Chemical deliveries require special coordination and precise documentation.
-
Difficulty in controlling returns or incidents
Manual returns delay the update of the stock.
How Imperia SCP solves it

-
Synchronization of deliveries, documentation and traceability
