Walmart is an American multinational retail corporation founded in 1962 by Sam Walton. It operates under various names in 15 countries. Walmart pioneered supply chain management practices like cross-docking to reduce costs and improve inventory availability. It uses advanced technologies like satellite communication systems and RFID to track sales, inventory levels, and coordinate suppliers. Walmart's private fleet allows more control over transportation costs and delivery times compared to outsourcing shipping. While maintenance is a downside, the efficiency gains outweigh the costs. These integrated practices optimize Walmart's supply chain and support its low-price business model.

positives to handling your own logistics
1. We have the flexibility of sending material to the market as and when the de-
mand arises. We are not dependent on an outsourced agency to provide vehicles
to service customer demands. 2. Our own crew is more familiar with customer
demands and makes every effort to meet them effectively. 3. It is much cheaper
to handle it ourselves since we are not paying an extra margin (which would be
the case with an outsourced agency). 4. We can train our drivers and helpers ef-
fectively as we expect they will be with us for many years. 5. We have flexibility to
manage manpower in case any crew-member is unwell or on annual leave. There
are crew-members that understand the critical requirements of each customer
and are easily able to fill in. 6. All the crew are given uniforms and safety shoes
and adhere to our rules and regulations.
Volumes
We are handling approximately 400,000
eaches monthly. This volume goes up by
25% during DSF and by 50% during Gitex
Shopper. We have 1,500,000 SFT WH,
5,000 pallet positions, 12,000 shelving
bins, 20,000 bin locations, Our put away,
picking and delivery accuracy is over 99%.
challenges
The biggest challenge that we face is people
management. This needs to be tackled
efficiently to keep customers happy. The
safety of the goods is also a concern, as one
vehicle carries over Dh100,000 worth of
goods while transporting. However, we
have never had any major incident of
theft or misappropriation. Another chal-
lenge we face is during the summer months
– air conditioning in vehicles doesn’t remain
effective, and our helpers have to go and
deliver the products by hand to the shops
during peak hours of the summer.
