Walmart ‘building shopping tool unlike any other in retail’

Walmart has launched Store Assistant on its mobile app as it aims to help shoppers get in and out of stores as quickly as possible.

“Next time you visit your local store and open the app, you’ll notice that the Walmart app transforms into Store Assistant. All of the tools you need to make shopping fast and easy, such as Walmart Pay, will be right at your fingertips. We’ve also made the product search bar and the scanner easier to find, so you can quickly read reviews, find items in store and double-check prices,” says Daniel Eckert, Senior Vice President, Walmart Services and Digital Acceleration.

He adds: “And there’s much more to come. Imagine dropping pins on a store map tied to the location of items on your list, enabling you to plan your route through our stores, or the ability to book services like an oil change in advance. Imagine even smarter lists … maybe so smart that you’ll hardly have to make them! We’re building a shopping tool unlike any other in retail – and one that makes virtually every element of the store shopping experience faster and more convenient for you.”
