Construction distribution requires precision, traceability and logistical agility
Construction materials distribution companies operate in a highly demanding environment: simultaneous projects, tight deadlines and high-value materials. Lack of visibility or coordination between warehouses can lead to costly delays or excess inventory.
Long and uncertain supply times
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Variable lead times in imported materials
Global suppliers of cement, steel or machinery have unstable delivery times, which complicates planning.
-
High minimum lots locking up capital
High MOQs generate excess inventory and make it difficult to balance coverage and cost.
-
Little reaction to changes in project demand
Variations in the pace of work cause imbalances in supply and stoppages.

-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Inefficient delivery scheduling
Lack of visibility of routes and priorities generates incomplete or late deliveries.
-
Saturation in warehouses and distribution centers
Excessive simultaneous orders cause bottlenecks in preparation and shipping.

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Accumulation of low turnover materials
Products purchased due to provision or excess coverage are immobilized and lose value.
-
Expiration or incompatibility of components
Adhesives, chemicals or custom parts lose their usefulness if they are not used in time.
-
Lack of visibility to clean up inventory
Obsolete or unused materials are not identified in a timely manner.
How Imperia SCP solves it

-
FEFO System

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Inconsistent data between works and warehouses
Each center manages its inventory independently, generating duplication and lack of control.
-
Inefficient inventory redistribution
The surpluses are not used between works or regions, which increases costs.
-
Lack of coordination between simultaneous projects
The supply of several works in parallel causes conflicts of priorities and lack of key materials.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Centralized stock management
Centralized management consolidates total stock and offers a single vision of the network, optimizing the flow of materials.
-
Multi-level inventory optimization
Multi-level inventory optimization allows moving low-turnover materials to areas with greater demand, reducing cost overruns and waste.
-
Project prioritization
The demand planner distributes resources according to the criticality of each project, ensuring operational continuity in all active works.
-
-
Changes in specifications or product substitutions
Design modifications alter anticipated material requirements.
Dynamic replacement management updates codes and forecasts in real time to avoid errors or waste.
High transport costs for partial deliveries
