Oil distribution requires precision, traceability and speed of response

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.

    Lack of visibility on demand and actual stock
  • 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.

    Excess inventory and 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.

    Inefficient coordination between demand, purchases and transportation
  • 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.

    Difficulty in maintaining a competitive level of service
  • Lack of coordination between regional warehouses
    Lack of coordination between regional warehouses

    Causes unnecessary transfers and additional logistics costs.

    Multi-warehouse inventory synchronization and centralized replenishment planning.

    Errors in the forecast due to lack of external data
    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.
