We’re excited to launch our retail delivery consolidation program. Instead of shipping individually to multiple stores or distribution centers, Stord’s retail delivery consolidation program combines orders from various brands going to #Walmart, #Target, #Costco, or more. Specifically, we provide delivery consolidation expertise for orders destined for Walmart distribution centers. Stord is one of the few logistics providers afforded certain permissions that improve truck utilization and delivery efficiency, ultimately leading to lower costs and higher fill rates for brands in its pool. The result? Participating brands can: ✅ Save up to 30% on transportation costs over typical LTL (less than truckload) or collect methods ✅ Access significant cost, speed, and performance benefits ✅ Adopt new B2B partners without taking on excess outbound freight costs ✅ Meet each retailers’ shipping requirements confidently Andy Horrow, President of Protein2o Inc., says it best: “With Stord, we don’t have to worry about the complexities of B2B shipping, and can confidently add new big box retail partners easily without risking additional headache.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g-KFB7Ys

Walmart is opening five state-of-the-art automated distribution centers for fresh food as part of its effort to modernize supply chain, boost efficiency, and keep up with growing demand for online grocery orders. Each new center will be around 700,000 square feet - double the storage capacity and twice the processing volume of traditional centers - and will be equipped with automation for storing and retrieving perishables, chilled, and frozen items, ensuring prompt delivery to stores and customers' doors. These - plus hundreds of store remodels - are included in this year's estimated $22 billion capital expenditures ($10 billion over Walmart's typical annual spend). Locations will include Shafter, California; Lancaster, Texas; Wellford, South Carolina; Belvidere, Illinois; and Pilesgrove, New Jersey. Other facilities will be retrofit with fresh food automation: Mankato, Minnesota; Mebane, North Carolina; Garrett, Indiana; Shelbyville, Tennessee, and Winter Haven, Florida. #commercialrealestate #CRE #distributioncenters #automation #supplychain #Walmart https://lnkd.in/e8qKYsrh

Walmart is taking its supply chain transparency to the next level! 🥛🚚 The retail giant is opening its third milk processing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. This move is part of Walmart's broader strategy to gain more control over its dairy supply chain. 🐄🏭 The new facility will process Great Value and Member's Mark milk for nearly 500 Walmart stores and Sam's Club locations across Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Northern Kentucky. 🛒📍 This move is not just about control, but also about transparency. Walmart's direct involvement in milk processing allows the company to provide customers with detailed information about the product's journey from farm to store. 🌾🛍️ What are your thoughts on this move by Walmart? Do you think more retailers should follow suit and take more control over their supply chains? And what about the transparency aspect - is this something you value as a consumer? 💭👇 #Walmart #SupplyChain #Transparency #DairyIndustry #RetailInnovation #GreatValue #MembersMark 👓 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eHibTGne

Walmart said Wednesday that it will open five automated distribution centers for fresh food across the country, as the retailer chases efficiency and its online grocery business grows. The discounter’s new facilities are roughly 700,000 square feet on average. Chilled and frozen areas have automation that stores and retrieves perishable items, such as strawberries and frozen chicken nuggets that are later sold at stores or added to customers’ e-commerce orders. Walmart is the nation’s largest grocer, but it is modernizing its supply chain to keep up with customers who are increasingly picking up orders in the parking lot or getting groceries delivered to their doors. Store pickup and delivery drove the company’s 22% e-commerce gains in the U.S. in its most recent quarter. The retailer has been automating supply chain facilities across the country. Read more here:

This news from Walmart about their new automated fresh warehouses should give everyone pause. If anyone thinks they can compete head to head with Walmart or Amazon in a fair fight, they’re wrong. They are just getting warmed up. They are unlocking more Omnichannel logistics efficiencies, enhanced by AI and massively automated warehouses, and eventually, self driving trucks. Anyone else can pour infinite amounts of money into the same processes all they want, but it won’t close the gap. This doesn’t mean everyone else is doomed. For one thing, there are myriad ways to work WITH them, and leverage their scale to your benefit. But if you DO need to compete, the way to do it is through “radical differentiation”. Carry the polar opposite product mix. Innovate nimbly, and work with products (and producers) who are too small to meet their needs. Instead of relying on private label as a me-too version of BetterGoods with national brand equivalents, focus on locking up FTM exclusives. Make yourself act even smaller than you are, that is your competitive advantage. If you have 200 stores and are competing against a retailer with 5000, that is a sysiphean task. …unless you have a fantastic local/regional/innovation program and are swimming in your own blue ocean. The pipeline of product innovation is the lifeblood upon which ex-Walmart retail grocery will survive the next decade. Pod Foods Flowspace Total Quality Logistics #cpg #innovaiton #walmart

This 15-minute video is one of the most accessible intros to the complexity of food logistics. It discusses demand forecasting, inventory management, growing seasons, SKU breadth, DC automation, grocery industry consolidation, and the perils of buying slow-movers in pallets from vendors. Highly recommended especially if you're not in the supply chain management world. In the same vein, I recommend Benjamin Lorr's book "The Secret Life of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of the American Supermarket." #supplychain #supplychainmanagement #logistics #grocery https://lnkd.in/gGn9B3wk

Few places were better visual representations of pandemic-induced supply chain chaos than grocery stores, where consumer stared down empty shelves of toilet paper and price spikes for everything from eggs to lettuce. Disruptions included glitches in transportation and trucking, labor shortages, raw material and input constraints, and sudden shifts in consumer demand #supplychain #grocery #retail #riskmanagement https://lnkd.in/e8gd2dgq
