Case Study: Walmart achieves limitless marketplace growth with Vertex Inc.

Walmart Generates Greater Marketplace Growth

Walmart, a global retail leader handling about 100 million unique website visits per month, was held back by tax and scalability limits in its e-commerce operations and by the rapid expansion of the Walmart Marketplace. Seeking a solution to manage a vast number of SKUs, keep tax content current across many product scenarios, and support third‑party sellers, Walmart selected Vertex and its tax solution to address these challenges.

Vertex implemented a highly flexible, customizable tax solution that scales with Walmart’s traffic and catalog growth while delivering robust, up‑to‑date tax content. As a result, Walmart can add large numbers of SKUs and sellers without the previous scalability problems—enabling continued marketplace expansion and, in the words of Walmart’s Ben Wylie, making “the growth…limitless” thanks to Vertex.
