Advance Auto Parts and OneRail Announce Expanded Partnership

Key Terms

delivery orchestration technical

Delivery orchestration is the coordinated planning and control of how products, services, or information move from a company to its customers, combining scheduling, routing, warehousing and handoffs so everything arrives on time and in the right condition. For investors it matters because smooth orchestration lowers costs, reduces delays and regulatory risks, and enables faster scaling—like a conductor keeping many musicians in sync so the performance (and customer experience) succeeds.

unified commerce technical

Unified commerce is a way retailers and service companies connect all sales channels, inventory, customer information and payments into a single system so customers get the same experience whether they shop online, in an app, or in a store. For investors it matters because it can boost sales, cut costs and make customer behavior easier to predict—like replacing separate neighborhood maps with one live GPS that shows the whole route and traffic.

store-based fulfillment technical

A way retailers use their physical shops as mini-warehouses to fill customer orders—by letting customers pick up online purchases in-store, shipping items from nearby locations, or arranging local delivery. For investors it matters because it can speed delivery, lower shipping and storage costs, and make better use of existing inventory and space—which affects profit margins, capital needs, and a retailer’s competitiveness, much like turning neighborhood branches into local distribution hubs.

market hub technical

A market hub is a central place — physical or digital — where buyers and sellers come together to trade a particular asset or set of assets, similar to a busy train station where many routes converge. It matters to investors because hubs concentrate trading activity, which tends to make it easier to buy or sell quickly, helps establish fair market prices through competition, and can influence fees and access to market information.

Expanded partnership supports store-based fulfillment, delivery orchestration and supply chain modernization initiatives

RALEIGH, N.C. & ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America serving both professional installers and do-it-yourself customers, and OneRail, the AI-native technology platform orchestrating unified commerce for enterprise retailers, wholesalers and distributors, today announced an expanded partnership that will broaden Advance’s use of OneRail’s delivery orchestration platform to support same-day fulfillment across its store network.

The expanded partnership supports Advance’s ongoing investments in supply chain modernization, inventory availability, market hubs and store-based fulfillment. By leveraging OneRail’s orchestration technology, Advance aims to more dynamically coordinate deliveries across internal fleet assets and third-party delivery providers, helping improve flexibility, reliability, and operational efficiency.

“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. “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 partnership builds on more than four years of collaboration between the companies. During that time, OneRail has supported delivery orchestration across more than 4,000 locations throughout the Advance network, helping coordinate tens of millions of annual deliveries through a combination of internal fleet resources and third-party delivery capacity.

“OneRail's role is to help enterprise retailers turn inventory availability into fulfillment capability,” said Bill Catania, Founder and CEO of OneRail. “Advance Auto Parts has made significant investments in its supply chain and store network, and we're proud to help connect those investments with a flexible fulfillment model that can scale with customer demand.”

The expanded partnership further supports Advance’s work to deliver a seamless customer experience across professional and consumer channels and create a more agile and responsive fulfillment network.
