What does it mean for your company?
-
Products with limited useful life
Products with coatings, fillers or natural ingredients require constant rotation.
-
Lack of visibility on dates and batches
Stores lack updated information on expiration dates or actual turnover.

Obsolete or non-rotating stock in store
Excess aged product affects brand image and margin.

Fluctuations due to campaigns and events
Dates such as Christmas, Easter or summer drastically alter demand.

Excess stock after promotional campaigns

Redistribution and alerts
Automatic redistribution and post-campaign alerts balance inventory between stores and reduce cost overruns.
-

Limited space versus a large catalog
The shelf cannot absorb all the size or flavor variants.
-
Homogeneous assortment in stores with different profiles
The same mix does not work the same in all areas or store formats.
-
Low profitability in saturated categories
Excessive references reduce the margin and generate inefficiencies.
How Imperia SCP solves it

ABC-XYZ Segmentation
ABC-XYZ analysis prioritizes products with the highest rotation and margin, optimizing the use of store space.
-
Planning by store
Planning by store adapts the assortment to local demand and consumer behavior.
-
Profitability dashboard

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Promotions without adequate logistical support
Campaigns generate breakages or post-promotion excess.
-
Lack of coordination between areas
Marketing, purchasing and operations work with disconnected information.
-
Late replenishment times
Manual orders cause breakages and loss of sales opportunity.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Promotional forecast
The promotional forecast anticipates demand peaks and plans coverage by category and store.
-
Integration of areas
Collaborative planning integrates all areas under a single platform, guaranteeing coherence between promotions and stock.
-
Order automation
Order automation generates proactive replenishments according to minimum coverage and rhythm real sales.

Lack of control over profitability by category or format
Decisions are based on sales volume and not on real margin.
Dashboards cross margin, rotation and cost, prioritizing higher value products.
Differences in rotation between physical and online channels
Inventory is not managed in a way unified, generating breakages.
Omnichannel planning synchronizes stock between channels, adjusting coverage and avoiding duplications.
