With its continued efforts to grow its list of next-generational fulfillment center, Walmart is betting big on the benefits it can reap from offering quicker shipping and delivery.
In June 2022, Walmart unveiled plans to open four next-generation fulfillment centers in a move that it said would usher in a “new era of fulfillment” for the retailer. In announcing the development of the four facilities, Walmart said it worked with technology company Knapp to create an automated, high-density storage and retrieval system that condenses the retailer’s 12-step fulfillment process down to five steps and had already brought that system to the retailer’s fulfillment center in Pedricktown, New Jersey.
