Walmart adds voice ordering to grocery shop mix
Walmart has teamed with Google to add voice ordering capabilities to its online groceries service.
Beginning this month, a select group of customers can say, ”Hey Google, talk to Walmart” and the Google Assistant will add items directly to their cart.
“It’s cross-platform, which means customers can use any device utilising Google Assistant, and allows for items to go directly to a customer’s shopping cart, making this capability one of a kind. We’re kicking off the work with Google, adding others to the mix as time goes on,” says Tom Ward, Senior Vice President, Digital Operations, Walmart US.
Over the next few weeks, the service will roll-out to more customers, he adds.
