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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
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.
