The situation

Walmart is not one channel

Selling on the marketplace, drop shipping as a DSV and replenishing stores are three separate operational problems that happen to share a retailer.
  • Marketplace inventory and retail inventory held at two different providers.
  • DSV orders that a retail-only warehouse cannot ship to a consumer.
  • Store replenishment missing the delivery window and collecting penalties for late or incomplete deliveries.
  • Labelling and packaging specs learned from a chargeback.
  • No clear view of which stock is reserved for which orders.
  • A provider who has never opened a Walmart routing guide.

Three Walmart flows

Marketplace, DSV and stores, one position

What we run

The three Walmart operations

Walmart Marketplace

Single-unit consumer orders picked, packed and shipped under marketplace delivery expectations.

DSV, drop ship vendor

Orders routed direct to the consumer on Walmart's behalf, which retail-only warehouses cannot do.

Store replenishment

Store-ready pallets built to spec and delivered against the window, not whenever the truck is free.

Retail labelling

Case labels, placards and item ticketing applied to the routing guide's requirements.

Displays and club packs

Pre-built displays and multipack configurations for retail programmes.

One inventory pool

All three channels share the same inventory. You decide what to reserve for each.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Not covered here? Ask us directly and you will get a specific answer rather than a brochure.

Ask a question
Is this the same as Walmart Fulfillment Services?
No. WFS is Walmart's own fulfilment for marketplace orders only. It does not build store-ready pallets, ship DSV orders, or serve your Shopify store. A 3PL covers all of that from one inventory position.
Can you help meet Walmart’s delivery requirements?
We plan around the retailer’s delivery window. In one published customer story, Nile maintained 97% in-stock availability at assigned stores and significantly reduced penalties for late or incomplete deliveries.
Where are your warehouses?
650 W Highway 412, Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and 1434 Commerce Parkway, Suite 200, Horn Lake, MS 38637.
