Retail Link & Supplier Reporting

Turn Walmart's supplier portal into a competitive advantage. We extract, structure, and analyze Retail Link data so your team makes faster, better decisions on inventory, replenishment, and sell-through performance.

Data Extraction That Drives Supplier Strategy

Retail Link is Walmart's primary supplier portal, housing POS data, inventory positions, forecast accuracy reports, and replenishment metrics for every 1P vendor. The platform is powerful but notoriously complex. Most supplier teams pull only a fraction of the data available to them, leaving critical insights buried in the Decision Support System (DSS).

We build structured reporting frameworks inside Retail Link that surface what matters: store-level sell-through velocity, warehouse on-hand positions, weeks of supply trends, and forecast accuracy gaps. Every report maps to a specific business decision, whether that is adjusting production, negotiating replenishment parameters, or preparing for a buyer meeting.

Suppliers who master Retail Link reporting outperform peers by identifying replenishment gaps 2 to 3 weeks earlier.
