Walmart and Sam's Club make a historic announcement: it will change forever

Walmart has taken a significant step in optimizing its delivery logistics with a completely new approach. The retail chain has replaced the traditional zip code system with a network of hexagonal maps, inspired by nature. This change will allow Walmart to reach 12 million additional households in the United States with same-day deliveries, without the need to open new physical stores.

Innovation based on nature

Walmart's hexagonal map system is inspired by the structure of beehives, where hexagonal cells are used to maximize space very efficiently. Similarly, Walmart has divided its territorial coverage into hexagonal "pixels" that allow for better route planning and greater precision in all home deliveries. This not only optimizes logistics but also allows the company to make deliveries more flexibly and efficiently.

The hexagonal structure is more precise than traditional zip codes, allowing Walmart to improve collaboration between its different stores. If a product is not available at one location, the system can reorganize the order and distribute it among several stores. This ensures that the customer receives their order quickly and completely.

Advanced technology and automation

The implementation of this advanced geospatial network has also allowed Walmart to enhance the use of artificial intelligence and automation in all its distribution centers. Thanks to automation, Walmart has doubled the capacity of its traditional centers, especially in fresh products. This improvement in operational capacity reduces errors, speeds up delivery times, and improves profit margins.

Additionally, the intelligent food monitoring system helps reduce waste and manage waste automatically, reinforcing Walmart's commitment to sustainability. By integrating these technological advances, the American company not only improves its delivery service but also takes a step toward a more responsible and efficient future.

Future expansion and projects in Mexico

Although Walmart Mexico has not yet implemented the hexagonal map system, the company has already announced plans to expand its delivery network in the country soon. With the recent investment of 6 billion dollars in distribution centers and the push toward automation, Walmart Mexico will soon adopt strategies similar to those in the United States. The company also has in mind to offer deliveries in 30 minutes or less, a very ambitious goal that could further accelerate the expansion of its efficient delivery model.

With the implementation of hexagonal maps and the constant improvement of its logistics systems, Walmart continues to position itself as a leader in innovation within the retail sector in the United States. As this strategy extends to more markets, the company will continue to strengthen its position, improving the shopping experience for its customers.
