Walmart to launch delivery service for other businesses
August 24, 2021
Walmart says it will start commercializing its delivery service, using contract workers, autonomous vehicles and even drones to deliver other retailers’ products directly to their clients’ homes as fast as just a few hours.
The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer launched delivery and Express delivery for its customers three years prior on more than 160,000 items from more than 3,000 stores, reaching nearly 70% of the U.S. population. The country’s biggest retailer aims to tap into its ties with local communities, especially organizations in rural regions that have battled to execute their own delivery operations.
The procedure reported Tuesday will set Walmart in against the likes of Uber, DoorDash and other delivery service. It comes as Walmart moves to extend its sources of profits of revenues beyond its center retail organizations. It’s a strategy like Amazon’s cloud computing unit called Amazon Web Services, which the online behemoth worked for itself and now sells to other organizations.
The assistance, GoLocal, has already signed a number of contractual agreements with national and small business clients.
