Walmart Revolutionizes 3rd-Party Retail Execution

Walmart Data Ventures has rolled out Scintilla In-Store, a platform for supplier field representatives that connects data to action at the store level. As the latest addition to the Scintilla portfolio, Scintilla In-Store unites essential tools, real-time data, actionable metrics and supplier-assigned tasks in one app. By integrating these capabilities, the platform aims to help lower out-of-stocks, simplify execution and provide a seamless omni-shopping experience. Building on Scintilla, Walmart’s first-party insights platform that turns granular data into actionable intelligence for suppliers and merchants, Scintilla In-Store takes this ecosystem into the retailer’s stores, connecting data to execution. While Scintilla and Scintilla In-Store are separate platforms, they share a common goal: developing innovative, data-driven tools and insights solutions that benefit the entire retail ecosystem. Previously known as Volt, Scintilla In-Store furthers the innovation of Volt Systems, acquired by Walmart in 2022. The updated platform gives field representatives improved, on-demand visibility across the store. For instance, by leveraging the same item and modular information used by store associates, field representatives can quickly find out which items may be running low and need to be replenished. They can also help ensure that items shifted on the shelf during busy shopping periods are accurately reflected in Walmart’s inventory systems — a perennial challenge in dynamic store environments. With this information at hand, field representatives can resolve issues in real time, helping to keep shelves stocked."Scintilla In-Store is redefining our operations in Walmart stores," said Pamela Stewart, North America Chief Customer Officer - Retail at The Coca-Cola Co., in Atlanta. "The enhanced app experience provides real-time inventory visibility and equips our representatives with advanced tools, enabling them to work more efficiently and make data-driven decisions during every store visit. We are excited Walmart is continuing to invest in new, innovative capabilities that will help empower our ways of working and, ultimately, ensure our products make their way into customers’ hands."Walmart Data Ventures is currently working on AI-driven prioritization and deeper integration across in-store systems.This article was originally published on P2PI sibling brand Progressive Grocer.
