Smart data capture firm Scandit announces renewal of Walmart tie up across retailer's US stores

Scandit has announced the renewal of its relationship with Walmart.

Since first being deployed in 2022, Scandit’s Smart Data Capture software has been integrated into several Walmart associate apps, helping to optimise operational tasks like order fulfillment, stock replenishment, out-of-stock detection, product information look up and receipt checks for self-checkout customers.

Scandit CEO and Co-founder Samuel Mueller, comments: “We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Walmart. Empowering associates by putting best-in-class technology in their hands is how retailers can drive meaningful change.” 

The user interface of the MyWalmart app, designed by Walmart with input from Scandit, streamlines associate onboarding and helps make associates’ day-to-day tasks easier, regardless of role, tenure, and workflow.

“As a people led, tech powered company, Walmart is committed to providing our associates with technology that helps them work smarter, faster and more efficiently,” says Dan Miller, Vice President of Product Management. 

As part of the expanded agreement, Scandit will provide Walmart with tools and technologies to boost the speed and accuracy of its existing associate and customer facing applications.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Mobile retail will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
