Walmart uses tech to expand delivery reach — Walmart.com

Walmart is using data science to optimize its delivery zones:

“Now, we’re taking delivery innovation even further with geospatial technology, a powerful data science model that divides geographic areas into precise hexagonal grids, optimizing delivery zones for greater efficiency. By redefining how we map delivery areas, we’ve expanded our reach, bringing the convenience of Walmart’s delivery to 12 million more households across the U.S., making same-day deliveries more accessible than ever. What was once just out of reach is now within range, ensuring even more households have access to the essentials they rely on — delivered fast and reliably right to their doorstep.“
