Today, for the "Shipping Wars" series produced by The Wall Street Journal, here it is the third video. It explores Walmart's strategy to ensure faster and more accurate deliveries for its customers. This approach, which leverages the widespread distribution of stores and the use of automation and AI, is proving to be effective. In this second revolution of the last mile, adopting new technologies is crucial for addressing industry challenges. These technologies are vital not only for ensuring faster shipping but also for accurate forecasting. Indeed, forecasting can no longer depend solely on past sales data; it now requires sophisticated statistical models that integrate thousands of dynamic, independent exogenous variables.
