Challenge.
Walmart wanted to measure its sustainable progress against targets and commitments across multiple states
For this, it required Aura’s packaging consultancy and technology teams to gather accurate baseline data from suppliers for its Food, Consumables and Health & Wellness portfolios.
Alongside this bigger picture, Walmart also required detailed data assurance at a component level, enlisting our team to provide high-level verification of all supplier inputs.
Solution.
Combining our technology with expertise from the Supplier Success Management and Data Assurance teams, we devised a dedicated support programme for Walmart’s requirements.
Firstly, the Supplier Success Management team worked closely with the supply base to facilitate data capture across all products. This involved onboarding, training and coaching external suppliers so that they could utilize our e-halo platform and populate it with the required information.
Our Data Assurance service was then used to verify each supplier’s inputs based on Walmart’s requirements, to ensure the details were correct and compliant.
Benefit.
As a result, Aura was able to provide Walmart with:
Live, accurate packaging data for Walmart’s Food, Consumables and Health & Wellness portfolios, all captured and verified within e-halo.
Data assurance for Walmart on compliance across the USA aligned to legislation.
A list of ‘at risk’ materials and areas for optimization, identified during the process.
Impact.
Managing every supplier to submit granular, accurate packaging data for thousands of Walmart private brand products.
“Thank you all for your outstanding support. Several suppliers have told me that they were impressed with the extensive support they receive”
