Walmart buys Volt Systems to improve store insights

An investment for the future

Walmart’s latest acquisition reaffirms the company’s position to invest in the latest technologies and innovations that can enhance in-store customers’ experience and anticipate their demands. 

Volt System’s application delivers current store-level data, shelf intelligence, and actionable analytics that allows suppliers to plan, forecast, and optimise product assortment for an improved customer experience. It also provides a seamless shopping experience while reducing friction due to out-of-stocks items.
