Walmart Chooses Wrike Platform To Underpin New Era Of Work Management
Global Brand Strengthens Cross-Functional Collaboration and Standardizes Organizational Processes to Drive Efficiencies and Winning Culture
In 2019, Walmart Canada deployed Wrike within their Continuous Improvement team to boost productivity and develop business recommendations for the Transportation department.

“One of the biggest challenges we face at Walmart is the size of the organization and the number of teams that are intertwined,” says
Most recently, Walmart has expanded the use of Wrike internationally from 500 to nearly 1,500 users. This has allowed the organization to customize work management to the individual teams, bring siloed departments together, streamline communication, organize cross-functional projects, and leverage analytics to tie projects to goals.
“Wrike helps us move faster,” says
In December of 2020, Wrike engaged with the Walmart Realty Execution team, which is responsible for managing construction on store remodels, new store builds, and upkeep. Prior to Wrike, they used a variety of disparate tools to manage work between external general contractors and several internal cross-functional teams. As a result, they experienced challenges like a lack of visibility across their portfolios, a considerable amount of time spent on non-value-added work, and duplicative efforts when planning and managing projects.

Leadership needed a way to understand the current utilization of their team and identify who could be assigned to work on additional projects. Their existing work management solution could not offer the real-time, accurate visibility into resource utilization that Wrike can.
“We’ve built the Wrike platform on the promise to enable teams and organizations of any size to work as one, break barriers, and scale beyond what they know to be possible,” says
