What: Walmart capitalizes on its learnings and size to propose an express delivery to local brands and retailers.

Why it is important: Forget branded trucks, it is all about pivoting and allowing Walmart to enjoy additional revenue streams by renting out its profitable capabilities to other retailers.

Walmart launches GoLocal in the US, a new delivery service proposed to local brands and retailers. It will allow them to deliver within 2 hours their products, thanks to Walmart Spark Driver service, the retailer’s response to Uber, under a white label offering. This means that products delivered will not be carried in Walmart branded trucks.

This new service to retailers is capitalizing on the learnings from Express delivery that Walmart developed in the last 3 years in the US.
