Check out how we’re using AI to make subscriptions a no-brainer. No more guesswork, just smart solutions! 

It’s a flywheel: when we engage and empower our associates, they provide great service to our customers and members, and they keep coming back. Check out our 2024 Belonging, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Report to learn more. #TeamWalmart #YouBelong

At Walmart, we're not just leveraging technology to optimize our operations, but more importantly, we're using it to enrich our associates' lives. Our latest investment? Autonomous forklifts!

At this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Walmart shared ambitious goals in the field of renewable energy. Just a few months later, we’re celebrating a major milestone. Proud to work for a people-led, tech-powered company that prioritizes technology that is good for both people and the planet. 

With adaptive retail, Walmart is bringing the best aspects of any one channel to the other. That means everything great about eCommerce - no lines, easy search and find, personalized recommendations – must be available in the store. And everything great about the store – try on, customer service, instant purchase – needs to be available from home.   That’s why Walmart continues to invest in AR and VR technologies to better assist customers in envisioning how fashion, beauty and home items would look virtually. Today, we made another exciting announcement about our expansion of those technologies with Optical Try-On. Beginning next month, customers will be able to virtually "try on" frames and purchase prescription eyewear online through the Walmart app or directly on http://Walmart.com.

BIG day for Walmart here at CES! We’re taking our booth visitors through the entire Walmart tech experience and how we’re bringing the best of shopping in the store to the digital world. I only have one word to describe it: epic. Doug McMillon will also make some exciting announcements during his keynote this afternoon—be sure to tune in and stop by booth CP-12 and see us to learn more if you’re here. #CES2024 #WalmartCES

AI can do all kinds of cool things—it can power conversations, help solve problems, and so much more. One of the many ways Walmart is using AI is to power the flow of our inventory to identify which items are in high demand and how to dynamically distribute them. What that means for the customer? Getting the items they want and getting them fast. More here, including from Parvez Musani: https://lnkd.in/gajRytnD

We know customers crave convenience—but convenience inherently creates complexity for technologists. That’s why I feel particularly honored when Walmart is recognized for simplifying the customer experience; because our complex tech powers the tools that make shopping more intuitive. This year, Walmart was recognized by Fast Company as a #FCTechAwards winner for Text to Shop, our conversational AI-powered tool that allows customers to simply text us what they need. This makes the shopping experience faster, more intuitive and more fun. Congrats to the team for this well-deserved recognition! https://lnkd.in/gDmNavD2

We truly are on the cusp of dramatic change when it comes to how customers choose to purchase and discover items. It was a pleasure joining Edward Ludlow on Wednesday to talk about all the ways Walmart is meeting customers where they are in that journey and how we’re innovating for the future of shopping. Thanks to Bloomberg Tech for hosting me and for highlighting some of Walmart‘s latest innovations!  https://lnkd.in/gQC_UZ9g
