Case Study: Walmart Canada achieves process automation and proves project value with Wrike

Walmart Canada Automates Processes & Proves Project Value With Wrike

Walmart Canada, a national arm of the world’s largest retailer, created a Continuous Improvement team to boost productivity in Transportation but inherited a fragmented, manual approach—projects lived in notebooks and a single, sparse Excel sheet—resulting in siloed communication, no portfolio visibility, and inefficient approvals. The team needed one centralized system to track project pipelines, enforce business-case requirements, and provide transparent reporting to leadership.

By deploying Wrike, Walmart Canada centralized intake with custom request forms, automated approvals and Blueprints, and introduced document versioning and visual analytics. The result: one unified pipeline with validated project savings and CO2 tracking, fewer emails and status calls, instant approvals, eliminated rework, and clearer executive visibility—enough success that the platform was expanded beyond the initial team.
