With revenues of $585.2 billion in 2023, Walmart remains the world’s largest retailer. It was announced by Kantar in its annual list of the top 50 retailers on the planet.
In this sense, its strong growth in many markets, its conquests in online commerce and its fulfillment model have guaranteed success.
Therefore, to improve the experience of its customers, Walmart has announced new measures such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
For its part, Walmart Inc. Doug McMillan, president and CEO, said his goal is to help people live better lives. “Today, more than ever, technological advancements make it seem like anything is possible,” McMillan said.
How will Walmart use AI in its operations?
The shopping habits and purchasing patterns of Walmart+ members will be studied by new AI-powered features. This will automatically refill your refrigerator with essential items before they run out.
Meanwhile, the service, “InHome Replenishment,” will create a personalized algorithm that will replenish customers’ essential items exactly when they need them.
Additionally, consumers will be able to make adjustments to their orders, although orders will be automatically placed and delivered to their homes.
One of AI’s features in relation to Walmart is Sam’s Club, the retail giant’s membership warehouse club. Here customers can pay for physical products through an app instead of paying before leaving the store.
But another important tool is already being implemented in Dallas and will be available nationwide by the end of the year.
Thanks to this, customers will no longer need to show their digital receipts at the door. It just so happens that this outbound technology will allow customers to walk through a digital arc with your products.
Similarly, Walmart also announced another solution to get items to its customers in just 30 minutes by expanding drone delivery.
It will be delivered to an additional 1.8 million homes in the Dallas-Fort-Worth metropolitan area.
