Walmart continues to expand its B2B e-commerce business and launches a shopping app

Walmart recently announced the launch of the Walmart Business app to simplify the purchasing process for small and medium-sized enterprise customers. Since January this year, Walmart announced the launch of a B2B shopping website, and a series of actions have continued to show Walmart's determination to enter the B2B field.

In the US B2B e-commerce sector, many players have already entered the market, including Amazon, Costco, and Staples, which have already occupied a large share of the market. The entry of Walmart will intensify competition in this market, and at the same time, it also indirectly confirms the growth potential of the B2B e-commerce market.

Currently, the Walmart Business platform offers more than 100,000 products, covering more than a dozen categories such as office furniture, laptops, healthcare and automotive products. Walmart's new application will also provide a series of tools and services to help merchants simplify the purchasing process.

Walmart's launch of the app follows a May survey of 501 small business owners that showed most small businesses cited sourcing merchandise and managing orders as their biggest challenges.

The new app will include the following features:

1. The category will be expanded to include office furniture and related supplies. Walmart Business+ members will be able to purchase office furniture, office supplies, break room supplies, technology products and classroom essentials directly through the app.

2. Multiple delivery options: Customers can choose to receive their orders at a designated location or use the curbside pickup option available at more than 4,700 Walmart stores in the United States.

3. Multiple user accounts, one account can be used by up to 5 users at the same time.

4. The upgraded add-to-cart feature allows customers to speed up large-volume orders by entering the exact quantity required in the quantity field.

5. Cooperate with Angi to solve logistics problems. WalmartBusiness customers can contact contractors provided by Angi for logistics transportation through the website or application.

6. Expense tracking: Walmart Business+ members can use the expense tracking tool on the app to obtain a lot of valuable data to help manage expenses.
