Retail of dry foods requires foresight, control and efficient management of the shelf

Retail of dry foods requires foresight, control and efficient management of the shelf

Retail companies of dry and long-life foods operate with wide assortments, multiple categories and a consumer highly sensitive to price and availability. Maintaining profitability requires visibility over turnover, coordination with distributors, and planning of promotions and campaigns.

The main challenges facing the dry and long-life foods industry

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Inaccurate information on store stock levels

      Replacement decisions are based in incomplete or outdated inventories.

    • Late and poorly prioritized replenishment

      Staff replenish without prioritizing high turnover or strategic references.

    • Lack of coordination with warehouses or distributors

      Deliveries are not aligned with the real demand of the point of sale.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Integration with other systems

      The integration between systems offers real-time visibility of the stock by reference and location, anticipating breakages.

    • Automation of replenishments

      Predictive planning automates the lists of replenishment by SKU, prioritizing critical or higher margin products.

    • Coordination between store and distributor

      Synchronization between store and distributor allows planning automatic deliveries based on effective consumption and lead times.

    Out of stock and lack of visibility at the point of sale
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Excessive coverage due to erroneous forecasts

      Excess stock takes up space and increases storage costs.

    • Low turnover in lower margin products

      References with slow output reduce liquidity and profitability by linear meter.

    • Difficulty balancing availability and profitability

      Stores tend to maintain excess assortment to avoid breakages.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Adjust optimal coverage

      Predictive forecast adjusts coverage to the actual turnover speed and demand by category or region.

    • Classify products by value and rotation

      ABC-XYZ segmentation classifies products by value and rotation, prioritizing the most profitable in the available space.

    • Optimize stock with AI

      The AI models recommend optimal assortments according to rotation, profitability and local demand, optimizing the use of the shelf.

    Excess inventory and lack of space on the shelf
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of synchronization between marketing and operations

      Campaigns are launched without verifying coverage or logistical capacity.

    • Excess product after promotions

      The post-promotional drop generates overstock and margin reduction.

    • Difficulty in measuring the return of each commercial action

      Sales, margin or rotation are not analyzed per campaign.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Promotional forecast

      The promotional forecast estimates additional demand and automatically adjusts replenishment before and during the campaign.

    • Coverage calculation after campaign

      Predictive models recalculate post-campaign coverage and redistribute the surplus between stores or channels.

    • Dashboards with profitability KPIs

      The dashboards cross-reference sales, cost and margin data to evaluate the real profitability of each promotion or category.

    Poorly planned promotions and seasonality
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of integrated data on sales and margins

      Retailers manage assortment decisions based on volume, not profitability.

    • Difficulty in optimizing space by store or format

      Shelf allocation does not always reflect the real demand of the store.

    • Lack of adaptation of the assortment to local preferences

      The same product mix does not work the same in all areas or seasons.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Dashboards with commercial data

      The dashboards integrate measurement metrics rotation, margin and coverage, facilitating strategic assortment and pricing decisions.

    • Planning by point of sale

      Planning by store adjusts the distribution of space according to rotation and category, maximizing sales per square meter.

    • Assortment personalization

      AI models personalize the assortment by geographic location and consumption profile, guaranteeing an offer adjusted to real demand.

    Complexity in assortment management and profitability by category
  • Difficulty in maintaining price consistency between stores and channels
    Difficulty in maintaining price consistency between stores and channels

    Promotional prices vary by region or store format, affecting customer perception.

    Integrated planning centralizes the pricing policy and automatically updates changes in all points of sale.
