Dry food distribution requires efficiency, traceability and synchronization

Dry food distribution requires efficiency, traceability and synchronization

Dry food distribution companies manage a wide range of references with different rotation speeds, regulatory requirements and high movement volumes. Predictive planning allows you to anticipate demand and optimize the entire supply chain to ensure availability at the lowest possible cost.

Lack of visibility on demand and actual stock

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Disconnected information between stores and channels

      Each warehouse or channel manages its inventory separately, resulting in a lack of global visibility and inaccurate replenishment decisions.

    • Variable demand depending on channel or category

      Consumption fluctuations between retailers, horeca or intermediate distributors make forecasting difficult.

    • Lack of traceability in inventory flow

      Without centralized control, transfers between warehouses or batch management become opaque and difficult to audit.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Centralize data on one platform

      A planning software unifies stock and sales data on a single platform. Obtaining a complete view of inventory, rotation and coverage, facilitating decisions based on updated data.

    • Analysis of historical and external variables

      AI models analyze historical patterns and external signals to forecast demand for each channel, guaranteeing stable service levels and no overstock.

    • Multi-store synchronization

      Multi-warehouse inventory synchronization allows you to track stock movements and levels in real time, improve traceability and reduce losses.

    Lack of visibility on demand and actual stock
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Stock accumulated due to inefficient forecasts

      The fear of breakage leads to overprovisioning, generating storage costs and immobilized capital.

    • Low turnover of low demand references

      References with low output remain in warehouse for too long, affecting liquidity.

    • Expirations or losses due to excess coverage

      Overstock generates obsolescence or waste, especially in categories with a best before date.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Adjust optimal coverage

      Predictive models automatically adjust optimal coverage by family and rotation, balancing availability and profitability without compromising service.

    • Identify low turnover products

      ABC-XYZ segmentation identifies low-turnover products and proposes differentiated strategies.

    • Optimize stock with intelligent replenishment

      AI optimizes replenishments based on rotation, real consumption and the useful life of each product, reducing waste and avoiding loss of value.

    Excess inventory and tied up capital
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Planning by operational silos

      Demand, purchasing and transportation work with different information and calendars, generating friction in the chain.

    • Reactive and poorly optimized transport

      Ships are scheduled urgently or without taking advantage of the available cargo capacity.

    • Delays due to lack of alignment with suppliers

      Delivery times are missed due to lack of visibility on actual supply times.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Unify and integrate information

      The integration between planning and supply modules aligns all areas under the same time horizon, ensuring coherence between forecasts, purchases and deliveries.

    • Order Optimization

      Group orders according to volume, priority and proximity, reducing distances and improving efficiency.

    • Improve supplier management

      Predictive planning incorporates supplier lead time and automatically adjusts orders to guarantee availability without resorting to emergencies or overstock.

    Inefficient coordination between demand, purchases and transportation
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • OTIF non-compliance due to variability in demand

      Incomplete or late deliveries directly affect customer satisfaction and logistics costs.

    • Instability in coverage between distribution centers

      Some warehouses suffer breakages while others accumulate excess stock.

    • Lack of prioritization in high demand products

      All references are managed with the same priority, making it difficult to respond quickly to consumption peaks.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Adjust operations according to actual forecast

      Monitor the evolution of the forecast and adjust delivery plans, prioritizing critical references and strategic clients to guarantee a constant OTIF.

    • Replenishment between warehouses

      Redistribute inventory between centers based on expected demand, maximizing overall availability and reducing unnecessary transfers.

    • Prioritize high-impact products

      Classify references according to their impact on service and margin, allocating preferential resources to key products for each customer or channel.

    Difficulty in maintaining a competitive level of service
  • Lack of coordination between sales channels
    Lack of coordination between sales channels

    The independent management of wholesalers, horeca and retail complicates the control of total stock.

    Omnichannel integration consolidates global demand and automatically adjusts replenishment plans by channel.

    Difficulty in controlling traceability and batches
    Difficulty in controlling traceability and batches

    The lack of visibility about batches and best before dates increases the risk of expiration.

    Systems connected to WMS and ERP guarantee full traceability and allow batch rotation to be planned proactively.

    Poor operational analysis capacity
    Poor operational analysis capacity

    Decision making is based on intuition or static reports, without a predictive vision.

    Intelligent dashboards allow you to analyze deviations, simulate scenarios and define corrective actions based on data.
