Walmart Enhances Supply Chain to Bring Customers What They Need, When They Need It
New program moves products to shelves faster, improving efficiency and cutting costs without requiring changes to prepaid freight terms.
-
Continuing its commitment of Everyday Low Prices (EDLP) for customers, Walmart today announced a new supply chain strategy, Prepaid Consolidation. This program helps get products to shelves and customers faster by simplifying inbound supplier logistics and building a more connected,scalable, tech-enabled supply chain that improves service and lowers costs.
The program expands Walmart's first mile capabilities for prepaid suppliers by using its national supply chain network to create a scalable way to merge shipments, creating greater transportation efficiency. Suppliers send products under a single national purchase order to one location, and from there Walmart combines the inventory and distributes it across its 42 regional distribution centers (RDCs).
"We're focused on making our supply chain simpler, faster and more efficient for suppliers, while also keeping products in stock for our customers," said Mike Gray, senior vice president of Supply Chain at Walmart U.S. "By strengthening our first-mile capabilities, we're reducing complexity and keeping goods moving, so we can deliver even more value every day."
Streamlining the Supplier Experience
The Prepaid Consolidation Program is built to make things easier for suppliers while still giving them flexibility. Since it's managed by Walmart, there's no need for suppliers to change their prepaid freight terms. Instead, they can choose to manage their shipments directly through Walmart or work with company-approved third-party logistics providers (3PLs), including C.H. Robinson, Hub Group, and RJW Logistics.
Through the process, suppliers pay a transparent, price-per-case rate, covering case handling at the automated consolidation center (ACC) and outbound transportation to Walmart RDCs. Suppliers working with participating providers will access region-specific pricing through Walmart's published rate card, with no additional markups applied by participating providers to services performed by Walmart.
Improving Efficiency While Lowering Cost
Suppliers benefit from simplified shipping -- one National PO, one destination -- along with transparent pricing and access to Walmart's national distribution network. The model improves efficiency without requiring changes to prepaid freight terms, and it can reduce total cost while improving speed to shelf.
By consolidating inbound shipments and allocating inventory across its RDCs, Walmart improves flow consistency and reduces variability. This enhances replenishment precision and supports stronger in-stock performance across stores.
The Prepaid Consolidation Program will scale in phases, and participation will be prioritized based on volume alignment and capacity expansion. Suppliers interested in participating should contact WTS_Consolidation@Walmart.com or one of the participating providers to explore eligibility.

LOS ANGELES, California, May 27 (TNSjou) -- The UCLA Health issued the following news release:

UCLA studies point to new way to fight potentially deadly Valley Fever
Two new UCLA studies describe how immune modulation can effectively combat Valley Fever
-
Valley Fever, technically known as Coccidioidomycosis, is a dust-borne fungal infection that occurs in dry regions like the southwestern US and is proliferating in California and Arizona. California alone spends $1 billion a year on treatment.
Valley Fever starts in the lungs, but in rare occasions can spread to other parts of thebody, even to the brain. It can be life-threatening, and even when it clears can leave the patient debilitated for years afterward. To combat this infection, physicians have long relied on antifungal drugs. But they don't always work when the infection has spread too extensively. To better understand why the infection spreads in some individuals, UCLA researchers found that patients with severe illness had an abnormal immune response. In some cases, the immune system was overactive; in other cases it was underactive. These findings opened new doors to treatment by modulating the immune system.
"We've discovered two of the underlying immune programs that lead people to develop life-threatening disseminated Valley Fever instead of just containing the infection in the lungs and fighting it off," said Dr. Manish Butte, the E. Richard Stiehm Endowed Chair and Professor of Pediatrics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, who led the team. "Moreover, we've discovered a new paradigm to treating these infections: we give medicines to modulate the immune system to fight the infections better."
Dr. Butte has joint appointments in the departments of Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics and Human Genetics.
Now, in two studies published in the peer-reviewed JCI Insight, the team delves into why some peoples' immune systems are unable to effectively combat the infection.
In one, the researchers examined the role of T cell exhaustion, which is when immune cells burn out from constant exposure to a fungal antigen. They found that patients whose Valley Fever disseminates had significantly weaker T cell responses early in the disease. Only 8% had detectable responses compared with 44% of patients whose disease was mild. Their T cells showed elevated levels of a protein called PD-1, which acts as a "brake" on immune cells. This pattern of weak responses and elevated PD-1 expression is the classic pattern seen in exhausted T cells. T cell exhaustion is commonly seen when T cells fight cancers, and many oncologists nowadays employ treatments to undo the exhausted state and fight cancers better. Inspired by the successes of oncologists, Dr. Butte's team tried the same idea in Valley Fever. The researchers found that blocking PD-1 essentially reinvigorated the T cells, producing interferon gamma that signals the immune system to fight the fungal infection better.
The other paper focuses on a second pattern of immune dysregulation that contributes to severe, disseminated Valley Fever. Here the researchers show how about 25% of patients have an immune system that is abnormally skewed toward a "Type 2" response, an immune program where Valley Fever is misinterpreted by the body as if it were an allergy or parasite rather than a fungus. Curiously, this Type 2 response was seen almost exclusively in males. In collaboration with Dr. Valerie Arboleda, associate professor of pathology at UCLA, the team delved into the genetic links to why some people develop this Type 2 response. They identified a set of rare genetic variants that explain the skewed responses in some, but most individuals remained genetically unsolved. Finally, they found that the allergy drug Dupilumab, which blocks overactive allergic immunity, reversed the skewing in the lab.
Moving beyond the bench to the clinic, the team has begun to employ these discoveries on the sickest Valley Fever patients referred to UCLA. In a paper published in March, the team described how they treated 18 severe cases with Interferon gamma to boost the immune system. They also treated 14 severe cases found to have Type 2 skewing with dupilumab, which retuned their immune responses to better fight the fungus.
"The improvement patients had with our immune treatments was stunning. Patients who were sick and dying are now living their lives," said Butte, who is also chief of the pediatrics department's division of immunology, allergy, and rheumatology.
For instance, one person who was wheelchair bound is walking again. Another who had been on antifungals for several years and would be easily out of breath is now able to run.
The next step is to obtain funding for clinical trials to further establish efficacy, determine who benefits, and learn more about treatment length and dosing to strengthen treatments against Valley Fever, Butte said. He also wants to expand the search for genetic underpinnings of dissemination and to explain why males are more likely to get sick.

CHICAGO, Illinois, May 27 (TNSxrep) -- Circana, a company that says it is a leading advisor on the complexity of consumer behavior, issued the following news release:

Retail Sales Slip in April as Calendar Shifts, Economic Pressures Weigh on Consumer Demand, Reports Circana
Younger consumers continue to reshape spending habits
-
Retail performance softened in April, as challenging year-over-year comparisons and sustained economic pressures weighed heavily on consumer demand. Overall retail spending declined 1.6% compared to April 2025, while unit demand fell 4.7%, reflecting a cautiousconsumer environment across multiple sectors, according to Circana, LLC. The decline was driven in part by calendar-related distortions. The Easter holiday shifted into March this year, creating an unfavorable comparison for April results. Additionally, elevated pricing in key categories last year -- particularly eggs during the height of avian flu disruptions -- further complicated year-over-year performance metrics.
During the four weeks ending May 2, 2026, Circana reports notable declines in key retail sectors. Retail food and beverage dollar sales decreased 1.7%, with a 4% drop in unit sales. Non-edible consumer packaged goods (CPG) revenue dipped 0.7%, while unit demand was down 5.8%. Discretionary general merchandise sales revenue fell 2.1%, with a 10.9% drop in units.
"Current retail results are clouded. April may have been short on growth, but it is important to note that year-to-date retail results reflect minor growth, underscoring the importance of looking past a singular view," said Marshal Cohen, chief retail industry advisor for Circana. "Inconsistent year-over-year comparisons combined with mounting macroeconomic pressures on household budgets from rising prices across retail, and now at the pumps, are creating an incomplete top-line picture of retail sales -- particularly in discretionary spending."
Challenging comparisons in some areas are further fueling negative results, but softer comps among select consumer segments are helping to prevent steeper declines. Since early 2025, younger consumers have faced mounting financial pressures, including rising living costs, a moderating job market, increasing credit card debt, and the resumption of student loan repayments. These factors have led to sustained declines in spending among younger consumers -- even compared to already soft performance a year ago -- creating ripple effects throughout retail.
As a result of the challenges faced by younger consumers, notable lifestyle shifts are emerging. Increased focus on cooking and entertaining at home, and growth in do-it-yourself solutions, including auto maintenance, echo behavior patterns seen during the pandemic, signaling a longer-term reset in how younger households allocate spending.
While older, more financially stable consumers remain a key source of growth, their spending is not unlimited. The consumer base is becoming increasingly fragmented. Different demographic groups are reacting to economic conditions in distinct ways, resulting in varied spending patterns and priorities.
"There is no longer a one-size-fits-all consumer," added Cohen. "Retailers must tailor their approach across multiple dimensions to effectively meet evolving needs of a variety of consumer groups. As the impact of softer year-ago comparisons fades, retail success will depend on the ability to adapt quickly to shifting behaviors and deliver value through diversified offerings and targeted engagement strategies."

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, May 27 -- G.E. Vernova, an energy company, posted the following news release:

How India Is Helping More People Access Renewable Power Through High-Voltage Transmission
As India grows, so does the need to deliver reliable, affordable electricity to the people and businesses that depend on it every day. Gujarat, one of the country's sunniest regions, is an ideal place to generate large-scale solar power. But many of the communities and major urban centers that need that energy most, including Mumbai, are hundreds of miles away. Without the right transmission infrastructureto move power efficiently across that distance, clean energy can be lost in transit, costs can rise, and renewable growth can slow.
To solve that challenge, India is investing in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, an advanced technology designed to move large amounts of electricity over long distances with less loss. In practical terms, that means more of the wind and solar power generated in remote areas can reach homes, businesses, and cities where demand is highest. According to Abhishek Srivastava, HVDC Portfolio director for GE Vernova's Grid Systems Integration business in India, the country's focus on transmission is so strong that the Ministry of Power now has dedicated divisions for both renewables and transmission -- an indication that getting clean power to people is just as important as generating it.
Srivastava is part of a GE Vernova team supporting two HVDC projects that can help strengthen how power moves across India: the refurbishment of the existing 1,000-megawatt Chandrapur HVDC link, which connects to southern grid networks, and the new Khavda-South Olpad HVDC corridor, a 2.5-gigawatt line that will connect renewable generation in the west to the national grid. Together, these projects are designed to help more lower-carbon electricity reach the people, industries, and regions that need it.
The Solution: Moving Renewable Energy Where People Need It Most
Around the world, renewable energy is often generated far from the places where people live and work. Large solar and wind projects need space, which usually means remote deserts, plains, or coastal areas rather than dense cities. That creates a common challenge: how to move clean electricity efficiently from where it is produced to where it can improve daily life and support economic growth. HVDC has become one of the technologies helping bridge that gap.
HVDC is especially effective for transporting large amounts of power over long distances. It can reduce transmission losses, improve control across the grid, and in some cases require less land than comparable AC infrastructure. For India, that makes HVDC an important way to connect renewable energy zones to regional grids and population centers -- similar to building a high-capacity expressway that helps electricity travel faster and more efficiently to the places that rely on it.
According to Srivastava, the value proposition of HVDC is easy to calculate. "There is the concept of the break-even distance. When, for example, the power is to be transferred over a long distance -- and when we say 'long distance' we mean about 600 kilometers -- the cost for DC automatically becomes more economical than AC solutions." He adds that there are a bunch of nuts and bolts that add to HVDC's value, too, as it requires fewer conductors, smaller towers, less steel, and ultimately less land area. He calls these indirect savings. And, he adds, the land issue is particularly important. "You have to secure rights-of-way. You have to buy or rent land. But HVDC requires less land, bringing costs down substantially."
The Impact: Building Confidence in India's Clean Energy Future
India entered the 21st century facing an economic imperative: finally delivering electricity to the millions of its citizens who still lacked basic access to power. Today, having largely solved that deficiency, the country is going from strength to strength in its aggressive electrification plan. On the back of HVDC -- a true partner to faster renewables growth -- the country is now reaching for the next tier of development as it seeks to infuse its existing system with affordable, lower-emissions power. For example, India has recently vaulted into third place in solar capacity, behind China and the U.S., and is looking to reach a total of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030. Srivastava says this target could grow further to over 900 GW just five years later, by 2035.
You might assume that during grid planning, figuring out generation comes first and addressing transmission needs comes second. Not so, according to Srivastava. There's a mismatch, he explains, between renewables projects, which can come online quickly in one or two years, and HVDC projects, which can take four to five years. "The HVDC projects actually have to start in advance, before the generation is built. And unless developers can have good visibility of how the network will expand, they simply won't make the investment for new generation." So to keep the developers moving forward, there's real pressure now on the government to maintain a steady pace of open bidding for new HVDC projects.
As India continues to expand lower-carbon power, transmission is becoming a critical part of making that growth meaningful for people. HVDC helps turn renewable generation into usable, reliable electricity that can support homes, businesses, and long-term economic development. For countries facing similar bottlenecks, India's focus on transmission planning offers a clear lesson: building the clean energy future is not only about producing more power, but also about making sure it can reach the people who need it.
