Samsung has signed its largest-ever mobile enterprise deal in the USA, the company revealed today. Samsung is helping Walmart “transform the retail associate experience” using mobile technologies, and is putting the rugged Galaxy XCover Pro in the hands of 740,000 Walmart store associates across the nation.
Samsung and Walmart began strategizing the latter company’s Connected Associate initiative in the spring of 2020 when Walmart stores “were busier than ever, and associates were working hard to ensure a safe shopping experience during the pandemic.” Walmart approached Samsung for a solution while Walmart Global Tech was developing a new app in-house for associates to “simplify daily tasks, serve customers, and plan for life outside of work“.
