Walmart has renewed its partnership with Scandit, a data capture company, in an effort to boost its digital solutions to optimise the workflow and operational efficiency of its employees, the company said.

As part of the expanded agreement, Walmart, will use tools and technology to increase the speed and accuracy of existing employee and customer-facing applications.

The companies first partnered in 2022 to integrate digital capabilities into several applications for Walmart's employees with the goal of helping optimise operations such as order fulfilment, stock replenishment, out-of-stock tracking, product information retrieval and receipt tracking for self-checkout customers.

As part of the partnership, Walmart developed the MyWalmart app, a user interface that aims to simplify employee onboarding and facilitate their daily activities, regardless of role, location and workflow.

“As a people-led, tech-powered company, Walmart is committed to providing our associates with technology that helps them work smarter, faster and more efficiently,” said Dan Miller, vice president of product management at Walmart.

With sales of $681 billion in fiscal year 2025, Walmart employs about 2.1 million people worldwide.

Last week, the US retail giant announced that it has implemented several artificial intelligence-based tools designed to streamline operations, reduce inefficiencies and improve workplace productivity for its employees.

This includes a newly introduced AI task management system which assists with overnight stocking operations by helping prioritise workloads.

Walmart says this technology has decreased shift planning time by approximately one hour, prompting plans for wider implementation across additional locations.
