Walmart Business is launching an app that makes it easier for small and nonprofit businesses to access its products and services.
Walmart developed the B2B operation to help small businesses and nonprofits save time, money and headaches by providing members with everyday low prices on millions of products along with fast, flexible delivery and pickup options, multi-user accounts and other support. A survey recently commissioned by the company indicated that 97% of respondents spend time on administrative or operational tasks every single day that could be used to focus on improving and growing their organizations.
Now the Walmart Business is unveiling products and services designed to aid small for-profit and nonprofit organizations reclaim time and achieve goals, the company noted, with the new offerings including:
- Walmart Business App. A new app allows customers to access Walmart Business’s broad product range, including office furniture and supplies, breakroom provisions, technology and classroom essentials. The app provides various options for selecting how to receive orders, including one-tap check-in for curbside pick-up at more than 4,700 U.S. locations and direct-to-office delivery scheduling. Users can easily access their multi-user accounts, with up to five employees sharing one account directly from the app.
- Easier Add-to-Carts. A streamlined ordering process makes it more convenient to enter and order large quantities simply by typing the exact number needed in the quantity field.
- Hire Angi. Walmart Business now is working with goods and service platform Angi to connect its customers with highly-rated professionals in their communities, making it easier for customers to book a wide range of services from office furniture assembly to TV wall mounting and shelving installation.
