With thousands of produce SKUs required daily, securing consistent supply is vital for the world’s largest retailer. “Walmart is leading the way when it comes to leveraging artificial intelligence to strengthen its supply chain,” said Francisco Martin-Rayo, co-founder and CEO of Helios. “Helios’ winning the ‘golden ticket’ is not only a great testament to our technology, but also proof that there are urgent needs from procurement teams to climate-proof their supply chains – especially those at the most globalised levels.”
New platform enhancements
Alongside the Walmart partnership, Helios has launched a suite of platform updates aimed at agri-food procurement teams and supply chain managers seeking greater visibility and control over climate-driven sourcing risks.
These enhancements include future climate risk projections up to one year ahead, enabling more accurate price and supply forecasting. Enterprise users will also gain access to historical pricing data for fruits and vegetables, including regional averages, price breakdowns by variety, grade and organic status, standardised into a single unit for simplified comparisons.
