Track 04 · Supplier One
Walmart 1P: Build dependable supplier records and clear item-resolution workflows.
As a first-party supplier you sell wholesale to Walmart, and Walmart retails the product in stores and on Walmart.com. Item data flows through Supplier One — the Setup Hub for new items, the Maintenance Hub for changes, and the Activity Monitor for the status of both — and every item needs a Walmart merchant's approval before it is orderable. Supplier catalog work is less about copywriting and more about records: unit and case hierarchies, GTINs at each level, and a source of truth that survives handoffs between sales, logistics, and content teams.
This track covers the four skills that make supplier item data dependable: building a trustworthy source record, setting items up against Walmart's requirements, maintaining content in bulk without losing the thread, and turning errors and tickets into verified outcomes.
