Meat retail requires precision, freshness and control of the entire chain

Meat retail requires precision, freshness and control of the entire chain

The retail channel in the meat industry combines a highly perishable product, strict health regulations and a demand that is sensitive to price, climate and seasonality. Retail chains must guarantee freshness without overloading inventory, optimize rotation in chambers and shelves, and maintain impeccable traceability.

The main challenges facing the meat industry

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Late replenishment or misaligned with real demand

      Stores receive product out of time or without correspondence with their rotation level.

    • Loss of freshness due to overstock in chambers

      Excess inventory reduces useful life and increases shrinkage.

    • Lack of control over batches and traceability

      Manual tracking increases the risk of errors or regulatory non-compliance.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Replacement aligned with demand

      Predictive planning adjusts daily replenishment according to real sales, avoiding breakages or product accumulation.

    • Definition of optimal coverage

      AI algorithms define optimal coverage by store and lot, prioritizing the output of the product closest to expire.

    • Digital traceability

      Digital traceability automatically records the rotation and origin of each batch, ensuring health compliance.

    Difficulty in maintaining freshness and product availability
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Increases in consumption on specific dates

      Sales peaks during holidays or high temperatures are not planned correctly.

    • Mismatch between promotions and replacement capacity

      Commercial campaigns generate breakages or excess product in the store.

    • Surplus post-promotion

      The reduction in demand after campaigns leaves product at risk of expiration.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Seasonal forecast

      The seasonal forecast integrates external variables such as weather and calendar, adjusting the forecasts by store and format.

    • Promotion forecasting

      The promotional forecast anticipates the impact of each campaign, synchronizing coverage, space and cold capacity.

    • Coverage recalculation after campaign

      AI models recalculate post-campaign coverage and activate automatic redistributions or intelligent discounts.

    High demand volatility and peaks due to seasonality
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Product loss due to manual date management

      Expiration dates are not controlled in time, generating waste.

    • Errors in handling or prolonged exposure

      The misuse of cameras or display cases affects quality and reduces durability.

    • Inconsistencies between physical and theoretical inventory

      Control differences generate erroneous orders and undetected losses.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • FEFO System

      The FEFO system automates rotation and prioritizes the dispatch of products with a shorter useful life.

    • Monitor the product

      Monitor the temperature and exposure time, generating alerts in the event of deviations.

    • Integration with other systems

      Synchronization between systems updates the available stock in real time category and lot.

    Waste due to rotation inefficient and lack of control in store
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Manual orders and without prioritization

      Staff in store places orders without reliable data or without analyzing rotation.

    • Logistics delays and deliveries outside the window

      Deliveries do not always align with the real need of the point of sale.

    • Lack of communication about incidents in transportation or temperature

      Problems during shipping are not detected until reaching the destination.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Automatic order suggestion

      Predictive models generate automatic order suggestions based on consumption and ideal coverage per store.

    • Synchronized planning

      Planning connected to the distributor synchronizes delivery times, routes and product expiration dates.

    • Identification of deviations

      Real-time monitoring and panels allow temperature deviations or delays to be identified before impacting the sale.

    Lack of coordination between store, warehouse and distributor
  • Daily variability in the sale of fresh products
    Daily variability in the sale of fresh products

    Demand changes by weather, day of the week or location.

    Predictive forecast dynamically adjusts coverage according to local sales patterns and climate.

    Space limitations in refrigerated display cases
    Space limitations in refrigerated display cases

    Lack of space limits the assortment and complicates rotation.

    AI models optimize the product mix and the use of space according to margin and rotation.

    Lack of visibility on key indicators
    Lack of visibility on key indicators

    Operational and commercial KPIs are not monitored together.
