Genuine Parts Company, the parent company of NAPA Auto Parts, owns 73 distribution centers that service more than 6,000 NAPA Auto Parts stores in seven countries. The majority of NAPA stores are independently owned and operated.
Genuine Parts migrated their Total Automotive Management System (TAMS) running on proprietary Data General software to open systems nearly 10 years ago with Transoft. They have consistently made major enhancements to their Parts Lookup system, which included 37 million records covering applications in existence since 1971. When a thorough needs analysis highlighted the need to migrate from a character-based application to a graphical user interface, Transoft again provided the solution.
