Fish and seafood distribution requires precision, traceability and time control

Fish and seafood distribution requires precision, traceability and time control

Fish and seafood distribution companies operate in one of the most demanding environments in the food chain. Perishability, energy costs and consumption volatility mean that any inefficiency directly affects profitability. Managing the balance between availability, freshness and logistics costs requires advanced planning and full visibility.

Perishable demand and difficult to anticipate

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Consumption sensitive to weather, holidays and promotions

      Purchasing behavior changes drastically in summer, Easter or due to gastronomic events.

    • Linear forecast without sufficient granularity

      Monthly forecasts do not capture the daily volatility of consumption.

    • Last minute manual settings

      The use of spreadsheets generates delays and logistical extra costs.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Analysis of external variables

      Predictive forecasting integrates external variables such as calendar and promotions, adjusting weekly demand by area or client.

    • Granular Forecasting

      Weekly granular forecasting captures variations by product type, origin or format, improving accuracy and reducing waste.

    • Automated planning

      Planning automation allows forecasts and routes to be recalculated in minutes, reducing errors and operational time.

    Perishable demand and difficult to anticipate
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Products with extremely short shelf life

      Fresh fish requires strict time and temperature control throughout the chain.

    • Losses due to expiration or deterioration

      Deviations in transportation or storage generate losses that are not detected in time.

    • Poor coordination between refrigerated warehouses

      The lack of centralized visibility generates overstock in some areas and stockouts in others.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • FEFO System

      The FEFO system automates batch rotation and prioritizes the distribution of products closest to their deadline.

    • Digital traceability

      IoT traceability monitors temperature and transit times in real time, generating alerts in the event of any deviation.

    • Multilevel planning

      Multi-level planning redistributes inventory based on demand and expiration date, optimizing coverage.

    Freshness control and cold chain management
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Isolated planning between departments

      Purchasing and logistics work with different forecasts, generating operational imbalances.

    • Reactive transport and logistical extra cost

      Emergencies and partial deliveries increase costs and reduce operating margin.

    • Lack of traceability in shipping

      Without digital control, it is difficult to verify delivery conditions or incidents en route.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Integration of areas

      The integration of demand, purchasing and logistics in a single system guarantees daily consistency and synchronization.

    • Order consolidation

      Predictive planning consolidates orders, optimizing full loads and reducing reactive transportation.

    • Integration with other systems

      Integration with other systems offers full visibility of each shipment and OTIF compliance control.

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

    • Product accumulation due to fear of breakage

      Excess stock increases the risk of expiration and blocks space in cold rooms.

    • Losses due to poor product rotation

      Old batches are not prioritized properly.

    • Difficulty analyzing profitability by reference or client

      The lack of consolidated data prevents evaluating real costs.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Calculate the optimal order point

      Calculate the optimal order point according to coverage, demand and useful life, reducing fixed assets without losing availability.

    • FEFO Rotation

      FEFO automated rotation ensures the release of older products and maintains stock freshness.

    • Dashboards

      Logistics dashboards unify cost, turnover and service indicators, facilitating decisions based on margin.

    Excess inventory and operational losses
  • Yield variability by species or format
    Yield variability by species or format

    Differences between batches or types of cutting generate imbalances in planning.

    Divergent recipe modeling adjusts forecasts and stock according to actual cutting performance.

    Regulatory compliance and health traceability
    Regulatory compliance and health traceability

    Regulatory requirements require full control of origin and temperature.

    Digital traceability centralizes batch, certificate and route information, guaranteeing legal compliance.

    Coordination with multiple suppliers and origins
    Coordination with multiple suppliers and origins

    Variability in times and availability complicates service continuity.

    Scenario planning evaluates supply alternatives and optimizes order consolidation.
