I've read that about 10 seconds after a Walmart cashier scans a
product at the check-out counter anywhere in the world, the
manufacturer or supplier of that purchase receives a notification of
it. And that kind of communication leads to hundreds of millions of
dollars in savings throughout the supply chain.
We sure don't get any such notification when our products are sold at
Walmart??!
I doubt that suppliers get this - but Walmart themselves always do. Their data mining capabilities are unbelievable. I've seen cases where their ability to understand what sells when and where of a given manufacturer's products was used to batter the supplier into the price level that Walmart wanted. If they made all the detailed info available to the suppliers then they'd lose that edge. Maybe some suppliers that deliver direct at the store level and are responsible for their own stocking levels (like the DVD, books, etc. folks) get it directly but not all of them.
