The distribution of industrial equipment requires coordination, control and advanced planning

The distribution of industrial equipment requires coordination, control and advanced planning

Industrial equipment distribution companies manage a technical and high-value catalogue, with tight margins, long supply times and multiple international origins. Aligning demand, purchasing and transportation is key to maintaining availability without inflating inventory.

Long and uncertain supply times

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Dependency on global suppliers

      Variable delivery times and lead times of up to 180 days generate risk of breakage and loss of sales.

    • High minimum lots

      Minimum orders imposed by manufacturers cause excess inventory and tied up capital.

    • Changes in demand that affect supply

      The variability of industrial demand alters logistics needs and generates imbalances.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Scenario simulation

      Simulate alternative scenarios and propose substitute suppliers or staggered orders, guaranteeing continuity of supply.

    • Order consolidation

      Consolidate orders and calculate the optimal purchasing point, meeting the MOQs without generating overstock.

    • Forecast adapted to market conditions

      Adjust the forecast according to market signals, guaranteeing a replacement aligned with real demand.

    Long and uncertain supply times
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Long transport routes with low occupancy

      Various equipment requires specialized transportation, which increases costs per empty trip.

    • Lack of visibility on orders and deliveries

      Without complete traceability, references to the status of sending or receiving equipment are lost.

    • Reactive planning for client changes

      Order or destination modifications generate manual rescheduling.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Order grouping

      Group orders by destination, volume and type of transport, optimizing routes and reducing logistics costs.

    • Integration with other systems

      The integration with ERP offers real-time monitoring of the status of orders and alerts regarding incidents or delays.

    • Dynamic planning

      Dynamic planning automatically adjusts logistics calendars to changes, maintaining consistency of routes and deliveries.

    Logistics complexity and delivery coordination
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Stock frozen by slow rotation

      Low output components and spare parts lock up space and capital.

    • Specification changes or technical substitutions

      Catalog updates make stored products obsolete.

    • Lack of visibility on inventories by region

      Regional warehouses accumulate excess without connection to real demand.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Rotation analysis by category

      Analyze rotation by category and propose redistributions or reduction of orders in low demand references.

    • Substitution detection

      Detect substitutions and update equivalent codes, reducing the risk of obsolescence.

    • Multilevel planning

      Multilevel planning centralizes stock control and adjusts replenishments between centers according to coverage and local demand.

    Excess inventory and technical obsolescence
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Inconsistent data between branches and logistics centers

      Decisions are based on partial information, generating duplications and extra costs.

    • Lack of multilevel optimization

      Surpluses are not redistributed between areas with lower demand.

    • Difficulty prioritizing critical deliverables

      Strategic or urgent orders are not correctly identified.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Centralized multi-warehouse management

      Centralized management consolidates stock and orders on a single platform, ensuring consistency and traceability.

    • Multi-level inventory optimization

      Automatically redistribute surpluses to free up capital and balance inventories.

    • Resource allocation by impact

      Assignment of logistics resources according to commercial impact and urgency, guaranteeing OTIF compliance.

    Fragmented visibility in multi-store
  • Irregular demand for projects or maintenance
    Irregular demand for projects or maintenance

    Consumption peaks due to work or contract distort the general forecast.

    Customer and project planning adjusts forecasts and replenishments based on actual demand.

    Incoordination in launches or catalog substitutions
    Incoordination in launches or catalog substitutions

    The lack of updating in codes or equivalences causes stock errors.

    Automatic synchronization of codes and historical data maintains consistency in inventory records.

    Overcost due to emergencies and partial deliveries
    Overcost due to emergencies and partial deliveries

    Incomplete or last-minute shipments make transportation more expensive.

    Predictive planning consolidates orders and routes, reducing partial trips and improving logistics efficiency.
