Walmart expands store data connection
Walmart Data Ventures launched Scintilla In-Store, a platform that gives supplier field reps real-time inventory data and tasks on their mobile devices. The tool consolidates live store insights, performance metrics, and supplier actions into one interface. It builds on Walmart’s Scintilla ecosystem, linking detailed store data with execution on the shop floor. The app was formerly known as Volt Systems before Walmart rebranded and expanded its capabilities.
Why It Matters
This move positions Walmart to improve in-store execution and inventory management while helping suppliers act faster with real data. Faster decisions can reduce stock gaps and improve the customer experience. A unified data connection from insight to action also supports more efficient retail operations and tighter integration of marketing and store performance. Read more.

A next-generation ATM model will include full-motion video alongside transaction screens, expanding ad opportunities.
Why It Matters
This expands advertising beyond traditional digital and retail channels into cash-access points, adding revenue potential for operators and brands. It also shows how non-traditional interfaces can become new media networks, blending commerce and marketing in everyday financial interactions. Read more.
Digital marketing strategy and shared risk
This analysis highlights why cost-per-acquisition (CPA) models and shared risk approaches can drive profit in digital marketing. Under CPA, marketers pay only when a desired action occurs, making spending directly tied to results. Sharing risk between agencies and clients means both parties focus on real business outcomes rather than intermediate metrics. This alignment can improve efficiency and profitability.
Why It Matters
Tying agency compensation to actual performance encourages better strategy and execution. CPA and shared risk models reduce wasted spend and sharpen focus on actions that create measurable value. This approach can improve ROI and make marketing budgets more accountable. Read more.
