The Challenge

Walmart’s Visual Merchandising Team wanted more insight into spending categories, expenses, and total costs of ownership, including warehousing, distribution, and obsolescence costs. They knew that improved transparency into these spending categories would provide vital data for the decision-making processes and managing ROI.

The Solution

Miller Zell provided a transparent process and management system. It offered a more detailed picture of Walmart’s aggregated print spending, created repeatable processes that improved efficiencies, and bolstered compliance enforcement for standard corporate print policy. It also provided spending data that improved insights into the success of marketing initiatives.

The Result

Walmart gained visibility and accountability with multiple trading partners and a new, vital data repository. Miller Zell’s efforts created 10 to 12 percent savings over previous procurement companies, as well as boosting efficiencies that accelerated time-to-market processes. Innovative structural design solutions enhanced customer visibility and increased consistency of branding and marketing compliance.
