When people search “What does GPC stand for?”, they usually expect a simple acronym.But for us, GPC is more than three letters — it’s a story of evolution, innovation, and a technology journey that started in healthcare and grew into a multi-industry solution used worldwide.
From Healthcare Origins to Intelligent Measurement
GPC was originally known as GP Commissioning Solutions:
GP referred to General Practitioners, reflecting our roots in healthcare.
Commissioning Solutions described our mission to provide digital tools that improved clinical workflows and service delivery.
As our technology evolved, so did our identity. We shortened the name from GPC Systems, to GPC — signalling a shift from healthcare-only tools to intelligent, real-time measurement across multiple sectors.
Today, GPC doesn’t stand for a phrase.It stands for a capability: precision, adaptability, and digital measurement done right.
What GPC Means Today
Today, GPC is recognised as a leader in 3D dimensioning software — solutions that measure the physical world with speed and accuracy.
Our technology helps organisations capture reliable size, shape and volume data in real time, powering smarter decision-making in:
Logistics and warehousing
Road and infrastructure monitoring
Smart cities and transport
Healthcare environments
From freight to highways to hospitals — GPC makes measurement easy, consistent, and scalable.
Our Journey: From Clinical Tools to Cross-Industry Innovation
Our early measurement tools were designed for wound assessment in healthcare — capturing repeatable, accurate dimensions that improved patient care.
But the underlying insight was bigger: If you can measure one environment accurately, you can measure many.
That led us into new domains:
Sector | Application |
Infrastructure | Detecting and quantifying potholes and road defects |
Logistics & Warehousing | Measuring pallets and parcels instantly |
Retail & Packaging | Optimising space and reducing volumetric waste |
What began in healthcare became a foundation for innovation far beyond it.
Where GPC Operates Today
We now support a wide ecosystem of industries that rely on accurate, real-time dimensional data:
Healthcare – Digital wound measurement
Highways & Infrastructure – Surface defect detection
Logistics & Supply Chain – Parcel and pallet scanning
Retail & Warehousing – Packaging optimisation and planning
Smart Transport – Spatial awareness for public assets
Different sectors, one challenge: physical measurement at speed.
What Is 3D Dimensioning Software?
3D dimensioning software uses cameras, sensors and spatial algorithms to automatically calculate the size and volume of physical objects — no tape measures, no guesswork, no delays.
With GPC technology, users can:
Measure anything from parcels to potholes in seconds
Capture consistent, auditable dimensional data
Integrate results directly into WMS, TMS, ERP or inspection systems
It’s smarter measurement — without extra workflow friction.

Summary
So, what does GPC stand for today?
It stands for a company shaped by innovation, trusted by industry, and committed to delivering fast, accurate dimensioning technology that removes friction from operations.
Three letters — one mission: measure more intelligently.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Does GPC still stand for “GP Commissioning Solutions”?
Historically yes, but today GPC is a standalone name representing a broader technology company, not just healthcare commissioning.
2. Why did GPC move beyond healthcare?
Because the measurement technology we developed had wider applications in logistics, infrastructure, retail and public services.
3. Is GPC still active in healthcare?
Yes — healthcare remains part of our portfolio, but the technology now supports multiple industries.
4. What does GPC focus on today?
Real-time 3D dimensioning software — automating the capture of size, volume and spatial data to improve operational accuracy.
5. Who uses GPC solutions now?
Logistics operators, warehouses, infrastructure agencies, healthcare providers, and organisations that rely on accurate measurement at scale.
