App setup
Store Assist is a fulfillment-as-a-service (FaaS) platform app powered by Walmart Commerce Technologies. The app provides in-store fulfillment capabilities to handle buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) orders. With Store Assist, store associates can see which items customers ordered, pick the correct items faster, and set up fulfilled orders for in-store or curbside pickup delivery to customers.
The Store Assist app receives all order and customer information—from order details to pick up times-and makes the data available to store associates online, through mobile devices. The app includes Pick, Stage, Handoff, and Orders modules to help Store Associates with fulfillment activities like the following:
- Assign order delivery dates and times.
- Receive notifications from customers when they arrive for order pickup.
- Stage orders for handoff to customers.
- Track order status for all orders in their assigned store locations.
