Cosmetic distribution requires agility, traceability and foresight
The cosmetic sector is characterized by the speed of launches, the high turnover of references and the volatility of demand. Distribution companies must guarantee product availability in retail, e-commerce and pharmacy channels, avoiding overstocks or expirations.
Stock expiration and obsolescence
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Products with limited useful life
Cosmetics and treatments have restricted consumption dates, which increases the risk of losses and returns.
-
Excess stock due to campaigns or promotions
The accumulation of promotional products generates expiration dates and financial losses.
-
Obsolescence of discontinued products
Frequent changes in packaging or formulation make existing stocks obsolete.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
FEFO System
The system manages inventory by lot and expiration date, prioritizing FEFO rotation and reducing waste.
-
Adjust coverages
Automatically adjust coverage levels after each campaign, aligning purchases and distribution with real demand.
-
Optimize the management of discontinued products
Identify replacement patterns and adjust the replenishment forecast to minimize the accumulation of retired references.

Constant introduction of new products
Every quarter new references are launched that alter forecasts and logistics.

Early retirement of SKUs with low turnover
Low-performing references remain in stock without outlet.

Launches are planned without visibility on logistics capacity or existing stock.

Difficulty coordinating retail, e-commerce and pharmacy channels
Fragmented distribution generates duplication and lack of visibility.
-
High costs due to emergencies or partial deliveries
Reactive deliveries increase transportation costs and reduce margins.

Lack of traceability in orders and batches
Manual tracking makes it difficult to comply with regulations and respond to incidents.

Unification of orders
