Case Study: Genuine Parts Company achieves 10–20% profit margin gains and doubles sourcing productivity with Bamboo Rose

Genuine Parts Company - Customer Case Study

Genuine Parts Company (GPC) is a global distributor of automotive, industrial, office and electronic replacement parts with over 8,850 operations and thousands of suppliers. GPC’s sourcing was fragmented across divisions, relied on agents, and depended on manual, incompatible quote and PO formats, creating cost, visibility and efficiency challenges as the company sought to scale its private‑label business.

GPC implemented Bamboo Rose’s Sourcing, Purchase Order and Global Trade Management platform to centralize sourcing, onboard and collaborate with suppliers, and automate PO workflows. The platform eliminated agents, improved supplier visibility and cut manual tasks—driving a 10–20% improvement in margins, a 100% increase in sourcing productivity, reduced freight costs and stock shortages, shorter cycle times, and doubled sourcing output with existing staff.
