Meat distribution requires traceability, forecasting and inventory control

Meat distribution requires traceability, forecasting and inventory control

Distribution companies in the meat sector operate in a highly complex environment: perishable products, regulatory requirements, volatile prices and customers who demand fast and reliable deliveries. The lack of foresight or logistical synchronization results in losses and high costs.

Difficulty in forecasting perishable and changing demand

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Seasonal and promotional variability

      Summer campaigns or promotions in retailers drastically alter consumption, generating stockouts or overstocks.

    • Forecast based on sales history only

      Linear models do not reflect actual market volatility or product substitutions.

    • Lack of coordination with customers and points of sale

      The forecasts do not align with the real demand of distributors and supermarkets.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Seasonality analysis

      Predictive forecasting analyzes history, weather and consumption patterns, adjusting replenishment by week and channel to reduce deviations.

    • Dynamic forecast

      AI models incorporate external variables and commercial events, improving forecast accuracy and response agility.

    • Alignment of forecast and actual orders

      The system synchronizes forecasts with actual orders, automatically adjusting the supply plan to avoid breakages.

    Difficulty in forecasting perishable and changing demand
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of batch traceability

      Manual batch management generates risks of loss or regulatory non-compliance.

    • Overstock for fear of breakage

      Distributors tend to oversize inventory, increasing storage costs and shrinkage.

    • Lack of visibility between warehouses

      Fragmented information causes urgent transfers and loss of control over global inventory.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Expiration date tracking

      Planning connected to FEFO systems automatically manages product rotation according to best before date and location.

    • Precision in forecasts

      Predictive planning adjusts coverage levels by SKU and customer, reducing frozen stock without compromising availability.

    • Optimization of multi-warehouse management

      The system consolidates all data into a single multi-warehouse view, optimizing stock redistribution and replenishment.

    Limited control of refrigerated inventory
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Disconnected planning between operational areas

      Each department works with different calendars, generating duplicate or poorly scheduled orders.

    • Reactive and high-cost transportation

      Emergencies and fragmented deliveries increase logistics costs.

    • Difficulty prioritizing critical orders

      Deliveries to strategic clients are managed the same as the rest, affecting the quality of the service.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Alignment of company departments

      Integrated planning connects demand, purchasing and transportation, aligning time horizons and eliminating bottlenecks.

    • Order Optimization

      Group orders, plan deliveries and maximize vehicle occupancy, reducing shipping costs.

    • Order Prioritization

      Assign priorities to orders with high commercial impact or with a shorter useful life margin, ensuring OTIF compliance.

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

    • Waste due to inefficient stock rotation

      Products are distributed without considering their useful life or age.

    • Lack of visibility on logistical incidents

      Incidents in transportation or storage are not detected in time.

    • Losses due to manual errors in picking or loading

      Manual operations cause differences between physical and theoretical inventory.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Advanced algorithms

      The FEFO algorithm ensures that the oldest batches are shipped first, reducing shrinkage and food waste.

    • Real product traceability

      Real-time traceability allows you to monitor temperature, times and location, generating alerts in the event of any deviation.

    • Digitized stock management

      Digitized inventory and picking control reduces human errors and ensures correspondence between actual and planned stock.

    Shrinkage and losses due to lack of operational control
  • Expiration and obsolescence of refrigerated product
    Expiration and obsolescence of refrigerated product

    Errors in managing dates or coverage cause losses and loss of profitability.

    The system automatically adjusts coverage based on product life and generates early expiration alerts.

    Complex coordination between suppliers
    Complex coordination between suppliers

    Deliveries come from multiple origins with varying arrival times.

    Predictive planning consolidates demand, optimizes the sequence of deliveries and reduces waiting time in cross-docking.

    Low visibility of profitability by channel
    Low visibility of profitability by channel

    The real margin of each client or type of product is not analyzed.

    Logistics dashboards unify cost, turnover and service KPIs, facilitating decisions based on profitability.
