Brand analysis

Walmart sits at joint fifth in the Technology Retail in the US table, alongside Dell and Target.

The brand has added +2 to its Overall Effort Score vs Q2 2025, with rises across all four pillars. Valuing the Customer saw the biggest increase, with a +3 increase.

In January, Walmart announced a raft of new customer service innovations, including the development a GenAI customer assistant. The assistant aims to engage customers in natural conversations, according to Retail Customer Experience. The launch follows a successful beta test last year.

We believe we're now seeing this boost scores in the Customer Effort Index. We'll be paying close attention in the coming months to see how this develops.
