“Our collaboration with JDA has been an important part of implementing our new scheduling system for associates, which is helping provide predictable and flexible scheduling options.”

The new scheduling system, which has been deployed to approximately 4,600 stores, has been developed to enable flexible, labour demand-based scheduling and support Walmart ‘core hours’ programme.

The system will allow Walmart to provide its associates with more predictable scheduling options and ability to self-service their own shift patterns, and be ready to serve customers.

More than 1.1 million of Walmart’s associates can now view schedules, swap shifts and pick up unfilled shifts.

Walmart Workforce Management senior director Rory Graham said: “Our goal has always been to exceed customers’ expectations when they shop and having our associates in the right place at the right time is the cornerstone to enabling that seamless experience every time.
