What our Clients and Students Say



It's been a pleasure and saving grace working with 8th & Walton. As new suppliers to Walmart, there was a steep learning curve in understanding and navigating the myriad of systems, Walmart jargon, and overall framework of doing business. We've already received glowing feedback from our replenishment and buying teams.

Actually walking through the reporting step by step and doing it myself helped reinforce the tools available for what I need. The instructor was very patient and easy to talk to and ask questions.

Accounting Student


It's so refreshing to have someone working so hard on our business. The 8th & Walton team is an extension of our own; we are grateful for their partnership.

I liked the atmosphere of the class. It was filled with real-life examples that I understood, which was important to me because this job is my first experience in the Logistics & Operations team.

Retail Link Student


8th & Walton helped us maximize our Walmart business by providing the latest on Walmart priorities and initiatives, as well as best practices, insights, and strategies for building a collaborative relationship with our buyers. They were especially helpful in growing our eCommerce business with Walmart and improving our Seasonal Replenishment efforts.

The class was great!! I knew just enough to be a menace before I started the class. The instructor was patient and really helped put things in order so that I could follow the logic of it all! I can’t wait to use what he taught me!

Attention small and mid-sized suppliers to Walmart and those planning to be! I just had a great conversation with 8th & Walton, and they can definitely help you be more profitable in your Walmart business. Experts on anything from Replenishment to OTIF and Retail Link. I’ve worked at Walmart and been a supplier to Walmart and know it can be a steep learning curve.

The class was excellent and worth every penny. I’ve already had two meetings with my supply and customer care teams to implement improvements identified during the class. I love that the concepts were explained simply and the next steps for action were so obvious and clear.

As a certified B Corp, we believe business can exist as a force for good in the world. In fact, we believe this so strongly that we even teach Walmart brokers — who in many cases are our competitors.
