Walmart is currently testing out digital tags for customers that flash a certain color, allowing them to find items in the isle easier. This feature is currently already being used by employees at a few dozen stores, where the tags flash green to help shelf stockers find location of product and blue to assist product pickers fulfilling online orders.
Walmart plans to roll out this new feature for customers in the app by the end of the year. There is no word on what the color will be for customers.
In June Walmart’s started shifting to digital price tags in their stores and plan to have them in all 2,300 stores by 2026. These digital shelf labels allow Walmart employees to update prices with a mobile app, rather than walking around the store and swapping out paper tags by hand. It also makes stocking product and picking digital orders quicker.
