Oil distribution: balance between availability, cost and profitability
Find out how we can help you
150+ companies trust us
Oil distribution requires precision, traceability and speed of response
Oil distribution must balance delivery times, logistics costs and inventory control in an increasingly volatile environment. Fluctuations in demand, price variations, and channel complexity force distributors to plan with real-time data. Integrating AI and predictive planning allows us to anticipate consumption and maintain an agile and profitable service.
Lack of visibility on demand and actual stock
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Information scattered between channels
Sales, inventory and order data are managed in isolated systems, which prevents having a consolidated view of the network.
-
Invisible breaks until the last moment
Stock incidents are detected late, when the order is already in progress or the customer has suffered a delay.
-
Lack of traceability between headquarters or warehouses
Companies with multiple distribution points lose visibility on internal movements or inventory differences.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Unify information sources
Predictive planning centralizes all inventory and sales information on a single platform, offering complete, real-time visibility into product availability and rotation.
-
Anticipate consumption patterns
AI algorithms identify consumption patterns and anticipate demand peaks, alerting of possible breakdowns with sufficient advance notice to replenish without emergencies.
-
Inventory synchronization between warehouses
The synchronization of inventories between warehouses allows knowing the global stock available, detecting imbalances and automatically redistributing it according to the needs of each point.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Stock accumulated due to lack of realistic forecast
The fear of breakage leads to buying more than necessary, generating extra storage costs and immobilized capital.
-
Low turnover of low impact products
References with low output take up space and deteriorate inventory profitability.
-
Difficulty balancing inventory and service
Reducing stock without affecting the level of service is complex without a predictive vision.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Adjust coverage with real data
Predictive planning models adjust security coverage based on the volatility and history of each reference, avoiding unnecessary overprovisioning.
-
Product segmentation according to rotation
ABC-XYZ segmentation identifies slow-moving products and proposes differentiated strategies: stock reduction, promotions or redistribution.
-
Dynamic stock replenishment
The AI analyzes demand by point of sale and recommends dynamic replenishments, maintaining availability with minimal tied up capital.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Planning by isolated departments
Purchasing, logistics and demand work with different objectives, generating mismatches between forecasts, orders and deliveries.
-
Excessive dependence on emergencies and partial shipments
Breakages or delays cause off-route transport, increasing costs and reducing efficiency.
-
Poor visibility on supplier and delivery deadlines
The lack of integrated information makes it difficult to predict when and how the merchandise will arrive.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Synchronize planning
The integration between demand, purchasing and transportation modules synchronizes the planning of the entire network, aligning priorities and reducing operational frictions.
-
Order and shipping optimization
Predictive planning groups orders according to routes and capacities, optimizing truck loading and minimizing urgent shipments.
-
Supplier analysis and prioritization
The system combines lead time data with demand forecasts to anticipate bottlenecks and automatically reschedule deliveries without affecting service.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
OTIF non-compliance due to lack of synchronization
Incomplete or late deliveries penalize customer confidence and make the operation more expensive.
-
Deviations between forecast and actual demand
Inaccurate forecasts lead to unstable plans that affect service and inventory.
-
Lack of prioritization of critical references
Without a clear strategy, all references are managed the same, diluting the operational focus.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Increased efficiency in service
Advanced planning optimizes order sequencing and adjusts transportation plans to ensure complete and on-time deliveries.
-
Alignment of forecasts with reality
Predictive forecasting models recalculate demand with updated data, correcting deviations and improving the reliability of the plan week by week.
-
Reference Analysis
Predictive planning allows you to identify strategic products by impact on sales or service, allocating resources and stock proportionally to their relevance.
-
-
Errors in the forecast due to lack of external data
Actual demand is affected by weather, promotions or seasonality.
AI-based forecasting models that incorporate external variables and real sales signals.
Difficulty managing the variety of references
Increases complexity without providing profitability.
Predictive analysis of profitability and rotation, to adjust the assortment to the potential of each customer or channel.
