We started a journey four years ago to bring even more convenience to our customers by delivering groceries and essentials directly to their doors. To offer this service to all customers with speed, we needed a delivery network that could reach rural and suburban areas. So we launched the Spark Driver platform.
Fast forward to today. We now have thousands of independent contractors who choose to drive on the Spark Driver platform, making it the largest delivery provider for Walmart. Today, nearly three-quarters of delivery orders have been fulfilled by drivers on the Spark Driver platform—reaching 84% of U.S. households.
Deliveries from our stores make up a large portion of this growth, but it doesn’t stop there. Drivers on the Spark Driver platform also fulfill orders for Walmart GoLocal , our white label, delivery-as-a-service business. The Spark Driver platform enables us to serve Walmart GoLocal clients—from large enterprises to small- and medium-sized businesses —and help them reach their customers with fast, reliable and affordable delivery.
The combination of these options is great for drivers, too. In fact, they rank quality of support for drivers and our shop and delivery experience highest in our satisfaction surveys. More broadly, drivers on the Spark Driver platform have more:
We’ll continue to grow the Spark Driver platform and work with our valued delivery service providers to ensure we’re bringing the best possible experience to our customers and getting them what they need, when they need it. And with the holidays approaching, we’re excited to add even more opportunities for drivers to earn.
Until then, we welcome drivers to sign up at drive4spark.com . We’d be honored to have you.
