It’s no secret that Walmart has had issues keeping shelves stocked in some stores, leading customers to head to competitors. While the company finally addressed the problem nearly two years ago, the big box retailer is taking additional steps to ensure customers have products to choose from when they visit, by holding suppliers accountable — financially — for shipments that show up before or after their intended arrival date.
Bloomberg, citing a Walmart presentation, reports that Walmart will soon roll out a new set of requirements for suppliers delivering full-truckloads of so-called “fast-turning” goods, such as groceries and paper towels, as a way to ensure stores are stocked and customers are happy.
