The primary value proposition of the GM Global EPC is the significant efficiency and accuracy it brings to the parts-sourcing process. By using the VIN to filter for vehicle-specific parts, it virtually eliminates ordering the wrong component, reducing costly return processes and downtime for the customer and the shop. The ability to quickly identify single-use parts and link directly to labor and service information ensures repairs are done correctly and billed appropriately from the start. The move to a cloud-based, HTML5 interface means the data is always current, and there are no physical media to manage or manually install, which is a stark contrast to the "bulky DVDs or manual patches" of previous systems.

The system includes built-in help guides,, as well as a "Getting Started" section, that explains navigation, part searches, and Vin/RPO usage Snap-on Business Solutions.
