Walmart Tests In-Store Warehousing to Improve E-Commerce Fulfillment
Walmart is testing in-store warehousing to hold third-party marketplace inventory, aiming to speed up delivery times for online orders. The pilot program, currently underway in Dallas, involves using store back rooms to store goods from third-party sellers, with the goal of reducing delivery times to same-day. This initiative is part of Walmart's broader strategy to leverage its physical stores for e-commerce fulfillment.
