Walmart Global Tech

Proud doesn’t begin to cover how we feel about the people behind this moment. Their ingenuity, curiosity, and ability to tackle complex problems is what fuels the work we do, and the progress we’re making together. And because of them, the future we’re building is faster, smarter and designed to better serve millions of customers every day.

Ever wonder what kicks into gear after a last-minute holiday order?  Short answer: magic.  Long answer: predictive models, multi-agent collaboration, dynamic ETA recalibration and associates using real-time tools to make smarter calls.

Walmart’s transformation is driven by one thing: its people. The journey has always been rooted in curiosity and reinvention, and IT Brew’s latest piece captures how that spirit is accelerating today as we evolve from a traditional retailer into a people-led, tech-powered company.   Our associates continue that momentum every day, building platforms and products that shape how millions shop. From early investments in digital infrastructure to today’s innovations including supply chain intelligence, agentic super agents, and connected omnichannel experiences, we’re laying the foundation for a new era of retail.   See how their work is redefining what a tech-powered retailer can be: https://lnkd.in/gGt5Pde9

Turns out, the smartest gifts this season aren’t under the tree … they’re in the code. Smarter search, instant translation and an in-store savings tool are just a few innovations making the holiday rush feel seamless from first search to final bow. Unwrap the tech making this season a little merrier. ✨

Is vibe coding just another fleeting trend? We asked the teams who’ve actually put it to work.   Here’s what they told us:  • They built a tool to automatically fix bugs in a day and a half.  • They're walking out of innovation meetings with working prototypes.  • They're learning, building and solving problems faster than before.   See how our engineers continue to push what's possible: https://lnkd.in/gB6rMj9q   Shoutout to Jonathan Norwood, Shreya Solanke, Jorge Yero Salazar, and Jeff Sandquist for sharing their experiences.

Our FY26 Q3 results are in and they showcase the progress we’ve made in creating smarter, faster, and more connected experiences for customers, while empowering our teams at scale. Advances in technology and AI are helping us move with greater speed, anticipate customer needs, and deliver personalized experiences that save time and boost associate efficiency.   Today, more than 40% of new code is AI-generated or AI-assisted, supported by continued investment in AI skills and developer productivity. Our digital agent Sparky also has new features. Alongside other AI-driven tools, we’re improving catalog accuracy, strengthening decision-making, and creating a seamless omnichannel experience across every way people shop.   We’re proud of this progress and even more excited about what’s ahead.
