Walmart declared that it will introduce digital shelf labels (DSL) to 2,300 more US locations by 2026, following a testing of the technology at one US site. The retailer said that DSL technology is accelerating the digitization of their stores and allowing them to choose and fulfill orders more quickly, simplify stock restocking, and boost efficiency.

Walmart is able to expedite the handling of thousands of weekly price adjustments for over 120,000 goods on shelves thanks to digital shelf labels, which were developed by the Vision Group. Associates may now handle price tags via an app thanks to DSL, which represents a big operational change in order fulfillment, inventory, and customer relations while guaranteeing a better overall customer experience.

According to Daniela Boscan, the food and consumable team lead at Walmart's Texas store where DSL was tested, "the transition to digital shelf labels is a game-changer for Walmart, our customers, and our associates." "It is about integrating sustainability into our work, in this case to help reduce operational waste, as well as about increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction."

Walmart has declared that it is advancing its digitalization efforts, which coincides with Amazon Fresh's announcement a few months ago that it was withdrawing its "Just Walk Out" technology from all of its US grocery shops. Smart shopping carts that allow users to scan products as they go and automatically pay will replace cashierless technology.
