@walmart walmart.com POWERING WALMART’S PROMISE, FROM DISTRIBUTION TO DOORSTEP Walmart’s distribution network is the engine behind its people-led, tech-powered business. At the heart of the company’s supply chain, Walmart distribution centers ensure products move seamlessly from suppliers to stores—and directly to customers—at unmatched speed and scale. Strategically located across the country, Walmart’s diverse network includes general merchandise, grocery and perishable facilities, import and e-commerce fulfillment centers, and specialty operations for returns and high-value items. Together, they reduce transportation time, improve product availability, and keep shelves stocked when customers need them most. People are central to Walmart distribution’s success. Thousands of skilled associates manage inventory, pick and pack orders, load outbound shipments, and uphold rigorous safety and quality standards. Supported by team leads and managers, associates benefit from ongoing training, career development, and a strong culture of continuous improvement. Advanced technology enhances every step of the process. Real-time inventory systems, digital workflows, automation, and cross-docking improve accuracy, reduce costs, and increase efficiency—while Walmart’s private truck fleet and transportation teams ensure reliable, on-time delivery. 26 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 07, ISSUE 02
