Advance Auto Parts announced an expanded partnership with OneRail on artificial intelligence (AI)-powered fulfillment orchestration.
OneRail is an AI platform that helps retailers, wholesalers and distributors facilitate same-day delivery. Its expanded partnership with Advance Auto Parts is to help the retailer with investments in supply chain modernization, inventory availability, market hubs and store-based fulfillment, according to an announcement from the companies.
Advance Auto Parts is No. 90 in the Top 2000 Database. The database tracks North America’s largest online retailers, ranking them by annual ecommerce sales and more. Advance Auto Parts is also the highest-ranking retailer in the database’s Automotive Parts & Accessories category.
How Advance Auto Parts is using AI-powered fulfillment technology
Advance Auto Parts and OneRail have been working together for more than four years. In that time, the OneRail AI has helped with delivery orchestration for more than 4,000 locations throughout the Advance Auto Parts fulfillment network, the companies said.
As of April 25, 206, Advance Auto Parts operated 4,308 retail store locations primarily within the United States. Some of those locations were also in Canada and Puerto Rico.
The companies said they have worked together to coordinate “tens of millions of annual deliveries.” That figure includes deliveries from both internal and third-party fleets.
“In our industry, speed and availability are what earn customer loyalty, and our customers’ expectations have never been higher,” said Ron Gilbert, senior vice president of supply chain at Advance Auto Parts, in the announcement. “OneRail is helping us improve delivery execution while giving us greater flexibility in how we serve customers. As we continue expanding same-day fulfillment capabilities, this partnership will help us leverage our growing store and market hub network more effectively to deliver a better customer experience.”
The expanded partnership adds support to Advance Auto Parts’ goal to “create a more agile and responsive fulfillment network,” the companies said. They intend to improve customer experience across both professional and consumer channels, according to the announcement.
