European automotive parts distributor with 17,000+ staff across 11 countries
Alliance Automotive Group is a large-scale parts distributor spanning 11 European markets, operating 2,500+ retail points and 79 distribution centres. The tech stack reflects a traditional, operations-heavy organization: Dynamics 365 Finance + Operations, Workday payroll, ServiceNow ticketing, Power BI analytics, and Manhattan warehouse management—a suite built for high-volume physical logistics rather than software innovation. Hiring remains minimal (5 roles in 30 days across 124 open positions), concentrated in sales and operations, with engineering represented by just 5 active roles. Active projects signal internal maturity work: Power BI HR implementations, acquisition integration, and process harmonization across subsidiaries—not new product development.
