Pharmaceutical distribution requires control, precision and regulatory compliance

Pharmaceutical distribution requires control, precision and regulatory compliance

Distribution companies in the pharmaceutical sector operate under great demands: total traceability, regulatory compliance, availability and control of the product at each stage. Fluctuations in demand, variable delivery times and the management of batches with expiration dates make advanced planning essential.

Stock expiration dates and obsolescence

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Products with limited useful life and regulatory control

      Manual management of batches with restricted expiration dates generates risks of non-compliance and economic losses.

    • Excess inventory due to fear of breakage

      Distributors oversize their stock to avoid shortages, increasing the risk of expiration and shrinkage.

    • Difficulty detecting materials close to expiration

      Traditional tools do not provide early warning about products at risk of expiration.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • FEFO System

      The predictive stock control by lot and expiration date applies the FEFO methodology, guaranteeing the traceability and distribution of products within the allowed period.

    • Adjust coverage levels

      Adjust coverage levels according to demand and useful life, reducing tied up capital without affecting availability.

    • Preventive alerts

      Preventive alerts to prioritize rotation, reallocate stock or activate controlled promotions before expiration.

    Stock expiration dates and obsolescence
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Suppliers with irregular delivery times

      Imports of APIs or finished products are affected by logistical restrictions or delays.

    • Excessive purchase volume due to high MOQs

      Mandatory purchase minimums generate overstock and risk of expiration.

    • Lack of synchronization between purchases and real demand

      Procurement decisions do not always reflect operational need.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Scenario simulation

      Simulate supply scenarios and propose alternative suppliers to guarantee continuity of supply.

    • Order consolidation

      Consolidate orders and optimize purchase volumes to meet MOQs based on actual consumption.

    • Align demand and stock

      Align forecast, purchases and available stock, guaranteeing that each order responds to real demand and the GMP replenishment cycle.

    Variable lead times and dependency on multiple suppliers
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Limited visibility over the path of the lots

      Without digital integration, traceability is lost in transportation or storage.

    • Risk of non-compliance with transport regulations

      Medications require temperature monitoring and continuous validation during shipping.

    • Lack of control over multi-warehouse inventories

      The different centers operate without a unified view of the stock, causing cost overruns and imbalances.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Integration between systems

      The connection between tools offers complete visibility of each batch, from origin to delivery, with real-time auditing.

    • Monitoring

      IoT monitoring monitors transportation conditions, generating alerts for thermal deviations or delays.

    • Centralized management

      Centralized management consolidates inventories from all warehouses, optimizing redistribution according to demand and the useful life of the products.

    Logistics control and traceability throughout the network
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • High drug introduction and withdrawal rates

      Catalogue changes affect the stability of inventory planning and control.

    • Forecast unreliable on new products

      Medicines without history present great uncertainty in their demand.

    • Difficulty coordinating marketing, sales and logistics

      Launches are planned without synchronizing the supply with the commercial campaign.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Advanced Forecasting

      Predictive forecasting automatically adjusts forecasts for new launches or discontinuations, reducing obsolescence.

    • Models by analogy

      Use analogy models to forecast initial consumption and adjust it based on the first weeks of sales.

    • Collaborative planning

      Collaborative planning integrates all the areas involved, guaranteeing availability and compliance with regulatory deadlines.

    Product release and rotation cycles
  • Variability of demand due to promotions or health alerts
    Variability of demand due to promotions or health alerts

    Demand peaks alter planned coverage and saturate the chain.

    Predictive planning incorporates external variables and campaign data to anticipate consumption peaks.

    Cross expirations between warehouses
    Cross expirations between warehouses

    Differences in expiration dates between centers cause breakage or waste.

    Multi-level planning automatically redistributes stock by shelf life priority.

    Lack of visibility on logistics and storage costs
    Lack of visibility on logistics and storage costs

    Margins are reduced due to not having real control of costs by product or area.

    The dashboards unify cost, turnover and service KPIs, allowing decisions based on profitability.
