Brightpick, a leading provider of AI-powered robotic automation for warehouses, today announced a strategic partnership with\u00a0NAPA, a major U.S. retailer and distributor of automotive replacement parts, accessories, and service items, to deploy advanced automation technology across their distribution centers. Through this partnership, Brightpick\u2019s robotic solutions will improve overall warehouse performance to support NAPA\u2019s nationwide store network.<\/p>\n
Brightpick and NAPA first collaborated in 2025 on a pilot project, which has been running successfully.

We\u2019re excited to support NAPA\u2019s operations and value their continued investment in our technology across their national network.\u201d<\/p>\n
