Walmart has a long history of transforming retail and using technology to deliver innovations that improve how the world shops and empower our 2.1 million associates. It began with Sam Walton and continues today with Global Tech associates working together to power Walmart and lead the next retail disruption. Our world-class software engineers, data scientists and engineers, cybersecurity professionals, product managers and business service professionals work with top talent on cutting-edge technologies that create unique and innovative experiences for our associates, customers and members across Walmart, Sam’s Club and Walmart International. At Walmart Global Tech, one line of code or bold idea can make life easier for hundreds of millions of people – talk about epic impact at a global scale.

Customers are becoming increasingly savvy of how new technology can fulfill their needs quickly, and our associates are benefitting from the optimization of tasks and processes when they leverage tech in their workflows.

Solutions like our AI/ML platform Element are enabling us to deliver experiences with speed and at scale, rapidly expanding our lineup of GenAI-powered experiences. And tools like our Shopping Assistant, and internal tools such as My Assistant, DX AI Assistant and Coding Assistant, are helping answer challenging questions and reduce decision-making so users can achieve results faster.

Saving time and money is at the heart of what we do, and our latest earnings results confirm we're on the right track with impressive growth across the company: https://lnkd.in/gkSR4Ypg

Customers are moving from a ‘do it with me’ to a ‘do it for me’ mindset. They expect retailers to anticipate their needs, reduce decision-making, and deliver exactly when they need it. To achieve this, everything must be interconnected and personalized.

How are U.S. shoppers’ expectations evolving? Immediate accessibility and custom “do it for me” experiences will become the norm: They want retailers to anticipate their needs, reduce decision-making and deliver at exactly the right moment.
 
As Suresh Kumar notes in his interview with Jason Del Rey for Fortune, the way we discover, buy, and receive products is set to dramatically change in the next 5-10 years to meet these expectations.
 
Everything great about eCommerce – no lines, easy search and find, personalized recommendations – must be available in the store. And everything great about the store – try on, customer service, instant purchase – needs to be available from home.

The retail landscape has undergone numerous changes over the past decade. Adaptability, immediate accessibility and custom “do it for me” experiences will no longer be longer luxuries – they are absolute necessities. 

Today Walmart released its inaugural State of Adaptive Retail Report with Morning Consult, revealing four emerging trends shaping the future of the retail industry. Among the discoveries:  

💡 Shoppers want retailers to handle the thinking while they focus on buying: 38% of shoppers say they want a virtual personal shopper.
💡 Shopping now blends seamlessly with daily life: Nearly 80% of shoppers made online purchases while multitasking in the past six months.
💡 Consumers crave a mix of online convenience and in-store tangibility: Nearly half prefer virtual try-ons over traditional dressing rooms and say they’d buy more clothes if a great virtual try-on experience were available.
