Fashion distribution requires precision, flexibility and control of the entire network

Fashion distribution requires precision, flexibility and control of the entire network

Fashion distribution companies operate in a changing environment, driven by short cycles, multiple channels and demand strongly influenced by trends and seasonality. Anticipating market movements, balancing stock and coordinating deliveries in record time is essential to maintain competitiveness.

Unforeseeable seasonality and short collection cycles

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Demand volatile and difficult to predict

      Trends change in a matter of weeks due to the influence of social networks and weather, affecting forecasts and availability.

    • Lag between purchases and actual consumption

      The commercial calendar and logistical times are not always synchronized with the sales windows.

    • Out of stock and excess sizes or colors

      Lack of balanced forecasting results in inventory imbalances by variant or channel.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • PredictiveForecast

      Predictive forecasting combines historical, seasonal and behavioral data to anticipate demand peaks and adjust the replenishment of each collection.

    • Plan capacities

      Capacity and lead times planning adjusts the supply flow, ensuring that products reach the point of sale on time.

    • ABC-XYZ Segmentation

      ABC-XYZ segmentation models by size and color optimize coverage and reduce deviations between supply and demand.

    Unforeseeable seasonality and short collection cycles
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Sudden spikes in campaign demand

      Black Friday, mid-season and influencer promos trigger demand in a matter of hours, making operational reaction difficult.

    • Saturation of the logistics network during campaigns

      Orders increase sharply, collapsing warehouses and distribution routes.

    • Margin drop due to post-promotion overstock

      Excess inventory after campaigns reduces profit and takes up space.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Promotional Forecast

      The promotional forecast analyzes the historical impact and projects demand to size stock and logistics capacity.

    • Workload distribution

      Predictive planning distributes workloads by center and anticipates replenishments before the start of the promotion.

    • Coverage readjustment

      The system readjusts coverage after promotions, prioritizing the liquidation and redistribution of surpluses.

    Demand peaks due to promotions and sales
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of visibility between channels

      Separate management of channels causes breaks in some and surpluses in others.

    • Inefficiency in redistribution between points of sale

      Manual transfers between stores or warehouses increase time and costs.

    • Loss of traceability and rotation control

      Fragmented inventory prevents prioritization of products that should be rotated first.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Centralizing omnichannel planning

      Centralize omnichannel planning, aligning forecast, stock and replenishment between physical stores and e-commerce.

    • Multilevel planning

      Multilevel planning automatically redistributes inventory according to rotation and location, reducing logistical overruns.

    • FEFO System

      FEFO (First Expired, First Out) control and rotation dashboards allow you to act in advance against the risk of obsolescence.

    Multi-channel complexity and inventory dispersion
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of historical data for new releases

      Hundreds of references are launched every season without historical data, making it difficult to initially estimate demand.

    • Mismatch between channels and collections

      Size or color variants do not behave the same in retail and online.

    • Excess or lack of stock in launches

      The imbalance between forecast and availability generates loss of sales or immobilized capital.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Forecast by analogy

      Analogy forecasting uses data from similar products to estimate initial demand for new items.

    • Planning by channel

      Channel-segmented planning adjusts replenishment based on the behavior of each market.

    • Correction of deviations

      Artificial intelligence redistributes the forecast after the first weeks of actual sales, correcting deviations and optimizing coverage.

    Constant introduction of new products without history
  • Lack of synchronization with international suppliers
    Lack of synchronization with international suppliers

    Long lead times complicate the response to demand spikes.

    Advanced planning simulates alternative sourcing scenarios and consolidates orders based on delivery priority.

    Difficulty managing returns and resales
    Difficulty managing returns and resales

    Online returns generate overstock and inventory confusion.

    The system integrates returns to active stock and automatically updates the forecast and actual availability.

    High operational load due to SKU volume
    High operational load due to SKU volume

    Manual planning does not scale with the speed of collections.

    Automation with AI prioritizes strategic SKUs and generates alerts regarding rotation or coverage deviations.
