Introduction
Walmart is the world's largest retailer, operating over 10,750 stores across 19 countries with 1.3 million associates in the United States alone. As a people-led, tech-powered company, Walmart has partnered with Scandit since 2022 to equip its associates with smart data capture technology that optimizes daily workflows and elevates operational efficiency at unprecedented scale.
Challenge
As the world's largest retailer operating in 19 countries with over 10,750 stores, Walmart needed best-in-class scanning technology that could scale across 1.3 million associates. The technology had to support diverse use cases — from order fulfillment to self-checkout verification — while maintaining an intuitive interface that streamlines onboarding for a massive and constantly evolving workforce.
Solution
Walmart integrated Scandit's Smart Data Capture software into its MyWalmart associate app, co-designed with input from Walmart's product team. The solution combines barcode scanning with augmented reality technology, enabling associates to work smarter and faster across multiple operational workflows. The partnership, established in 2022, has been renewed and expanded based on proven results.
Why SCANDIT
Scandit's Smart Data Capture platform was chosen for its ability to combine high-performance barcode scanning with augmented reality in a single, intuitive mobile interface. The technology integrates seamlessly into Walmart's existing MyWalmart app, enabling associates to perform multiple tasks — from scanning shelves to verifying receipts — without switching between tools. The co-design approach ensures the solution evolves with Walmart's operational needs.
