our store-based information systems , which are designed to improve the efficiency of our operations and enhance customer service , are comprised of a proprietary pos system and electronic parts catalog , or epc , system .
information maintained by our pos system is used to formulate pricing , marketing and merchandising strategies and to replenish inventory accurately and rapidly .

our centrally-based epc data management system enables us to reduce the time needed to ( i ) exchange data with our vendors and ( ii ) catalog and deliver updated , accurate parts information .
our epc system also contains enhanced search engines and user-friendly navigation tools that enhance our team members' ability to look up any needed parts as well as additional products the customer needs to complete an automotive repair project .
if a hard-to-find part or accessory is not available at one of our stores , the epc system can determine whether the part is carried and in-stock through our hub or pdq ae networks or can be ordered directly from one of our vendors .
available parts and accessories are then ordered electronically from another store , hub , pdq ae or directly from the vendor with immediate confirmation of price , availability and estimated delivery time .
we also support our store operations with additional proprietary systems and customer driven labor scheduling capabilities .
our store-level inventory management system provides real-time inventory tracking at the store level .

all of these systems are tightly integrated and provide real-time , comprehensive information to store personnel , resulting in improved customer service levels , team member productivity and in-stock availability .

our roanoke team is primarily responsible for the parts categories and our minnesota team is primarily responsible for accessories , oil and chemicals .
our global sourcing team works closely with both teams .
in fiscal 2011 , we purchased merchandise from approximately 500 vendors , with no single vendor accounting for more than 9% ( 9 % ) of purchases .
our purchasing strategy involves negotiating agreements with most of our vendors to purchase merchandise over a specified period of time along with other terms , including pricing , payment terms and volume .
the merchandising team has developed strong vendor relationships in the industry and , in a collaborative effort with our vendor partners , utilizes a category management process where we manage the mix of our product offerings to meet customer demand .
we believe this process , which develops a customer-focused business plan for each merchandise category , and our global sourcing operation are critical to improving comparable store sales , gross margin and inventory productivity. .
