Pharmaceutical retail requires precision, visibility and total compliance

Pharmaceutical retail requires precision, visibility and total compliance

Pharmacy and health store chains operate under strict regulatory requirements and with highly sensitive demand. Maintaining availability without generating overstock, guaranteeing traceability and optimizing the in-store assortment are constant challenges.

The main challenges facing the pharmaceutical industry

  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Risk of selling products out of date or without traceability

      Manual management of batches and expiration dates exposes the pharmacy to regulatory sanctions.

    • Lack of alerts about upcoming products to expire

      Traditional tools do not warn in advance about expirations.

    • Incomplete traceability in store inventory

      Movements between warehouse, counter and backroom are not always recorded.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • FEFO System

      FEFO control automates rotation and records tracking by lot and date, guaranteeing regulatory compliance.

    • Preventive alerts

      Predictive algorithms generate preventive alerts to rotate, reassign or liquidate products before their expiration expiration.

    • Digital traceability

      Digital traceability records each transfer and sale, offering full visibility of product flows.

    Control of expiration dates and traceability at the point of sale
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Sudden changes in demand due to health alerts or campaigns

      Sales increase suddenly due to events or seasonal peaks.

    • Reactive replenishment and without prioritization

      Orders are placed by intuition or a fixed calendar, without taking rotation into account.

    • Difficulty in foreseeing launches or new formulas

      New products do not count with reliable sales history.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Analysis of external variables

      The predictive forecast incorporates external variables such as alerts, weather or health calendar, adjusting coverage in real time.

    • Replenishment suggestions

      The system generates automatic replenishment suggestions by product, category and type of pharmacy.

    • Forecast by analogy

      The forecast by analogy estimates demand based on similar products and adjusts coverage according to the first weeks of sales.

    Variability of demand and lack of forecast
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • High coverage due to fear of breakages

      Excess stock immobilizes capital and increases the risk of expiration.

    • Low rotation of seasonal products or low demand

      The space occupied by slow products reduces the profitability of the shelf.

    • Lack of alignment between assortment and customer profile

      The same mix does not work the same in all locations.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Coverage by demand, margin and useful life

      Predictive planning adjusts coverage levels according to demand, margin and useful life.

    • ABC-XYZ Segmentation

      ABC-XYZ analysis prioritizes the most profitable references and recommends substitutions or redistribution between stores.

    • Local assortment

      Planning by store adjusts the local assortment according to consumption data and demographic pattern.

    Excess inventory and low profitability on the shelf
  • What does it mean for your company?

    • Lack of synchronization between campaigns and available stock

      Promotions are launched without validating coverage or replenishment times.

    • Excess post-promotion inventory

      Demand decreases after the campaigns, leaving product immobilized.

    • Lack of measurement of the profitability of campaigns and launches

      Decisions are made based on sales and not net margin.

    How Imperia SCP solves it

    • Promotional forecast

      The promotional forecast anticipates the impact of each campaign, adjusting orders automatically.

    • Redistribution of surpluses

      The system redistributes surpluses or activates discounts by store before the product loses value.

    • Profitability dashboards

      The dashboards integrate KPIs of cost, margin and rotation, offering a real vision of the profitability of commercial action.

    Lack of coordination between marketing, purchasing and operations
  • Difficulty in complying with storage and transportation regulations
    Difficulty in complying with storage and transportation regulations

    Temperature and traceability are not always recorded correctly.

    Integration with other systems monitors temperature and humidity, guaranteeing compliance and quality.

    Differences of rotation between categories and formats
    Differences of rotation between categories and formats

    Some products saturate the shelves while others generate breakages.

    Dynamic planning adjusts exposure and replacement according to profitability and sales speed.

    Lack of visibility on profitability by supplier or brand
    Lack of visibility on profitability by supplier or brand

    Commercial conditions are not analyzed in conjunction with rotation.

    The dashboards consolidate margin, rotation and cost, optimizing the relationship with the laboratories.
