GPC Cracks the Code on Vendor Collaboration & Supply Chain Efficiency

GPC (Genuine Parts Company) and its companies source products from many geographic suppliers and distribute parts worldwide through a complex supply chain. Each division had an internal group that sourced products and materials independently.

This resulted in siloed teams and systems, manual processes, a lack of visibility into costs, and a limited view of its supply chain. GPC needed a single platform to address sourcing, compliance, and vendor management for visibility and collaboration across its teams and companies.

Customer Outcome

Operational Efficiencies & Higher Margins

GPC stood up a single platform for all teams to come together for vendor management. Its internal teams can onboard, identify, collaborate, and negotiate with hundreds of suppliers across regions resulting in supply chain visibility. GPC improved margins by 10-20% and has greater buying power to negotiate lower prices when sourcing products and materials. Who doesn’t love a more proactive, efficient, and agile supply chain operation?
