Walmart is shopping an unexpected product: its technology

▤ Summary

Even as Walmart seeks new ways to grow that number, it’s shopping around a new product — its technology and services. The deal allows retailers and others that run their websites on Salesforce platforms to use Walmart’s fulfillment and delivery technology. This is Walmart taking a page from the playbook of its biggest competitor, Amazon, said Dan Ives, managing director of investment firm Wedbush Securities. That includes branching out from goods and deeper into services and tech in the hunt for new sources of revenue.
