What Walmart priorities is Acosta focused on?
Our team focuses on Walmart priorities like OTIF, Omni / online pickup and delivery (OPD), pricing and innovation – all driven by the customer convenience of one-stop-shopping offered by the retailer.
We are interested in retail execution projects rather than ongoing work. Does Acosta offer project services?
Yes, Acosta offers flexible and customizable project services tailored specifically for manufacturers with distribution at Walmart stores. Our experts evaluate your objectives, budget and strategic goals to recommend the most effective workforce models.
We have a dedicated team managing our Walmart business, but we need support for Walmart.com. Do you offer digital services?
Absolutely. Most Walmart suppliers have a dedicated team that manages their own Walmart business due to their scale. However, a supplier’s dedicated Walmart team often leverages Acosta resources from shared corporate teams or a center of excellence where they require additional support, resources and expertise.
Acosta has invested in a dedicated Walmart digital strategy team to complement your Walmart team, which is focused on Walmart strategy, enhancing your digital shelf, providing Marketplace support, executing integrated marketing campaigns on Walmart Connect and supporting content management and syndication.
As a partner agency for Walmart Connect, we provide a deeper level of advertising and retail media support for your Walmart business.
We often hear the term OTIF at Walmart. What does that mean, and does Acosta support suppliers in this space?

Acosta’s Walmart team has extensive experience in helping suppliers understand, manage and improve their OTIF scores, thus enhancing shelf availability and minimizing associated fines. Our strategic approach ensures that your supply chain operations align seamlessly with Walmart’s expectations.
