EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota (May 27, 2026) — C.H. Robinson, the global leader in Lean AI supply chains, today announced it has been named one of three participating providers serving Walmart’s new Prepaid Consolidation program—designed to improve speed to shelf and reduce costs for suppliers that arrange their own transportation to Walmart.
Through the three participating logistics providers, suppliers will now be able to insert their products into Walmart’s network through a single national purchase order to one automated consolidation center. This enables suppliers to move freight in full pallets and full truckloads to a single location rather than shipping smaller orders to each of Walmart’s 42 regional distribution centers.
“Walmart’s inbound network is evolving, and suppliers need a consolidation partner with the expertise to evolve with them,” said Noah Hoffman, Vice President of Retail. “Our role in the Prepaid Consolidation program reflects our dedication to Walmart prepaid suppliers as they scale, adapt, and stay aligned using a single provider to improve in-stock levels and exceed compliance expectations.”
C.H. Robinson’s consolidation network aligns with Walmart nodes and supports prepaid consolidation and national purchase order execution through a single provider. By integrating inventory positioning, Walmart-specific warehouse execution and transportation, suppliers benefit from:
- Not needing to add facilities, manage multiple providers, or take on long-term operation commitments.
- Dedicated account management and retail supply chain expertise.
- The ability to adapt to future network changes without having to make major supply chain updates and investments.
In addition to being a long-time consolidator, C.H. Robinson also operates as a Walmart supplier through its Robinson Fresh division. This dual role provides firsthand experience operating within Walmart’s inbound network and practical insight into meeting delivery, compliance, and execution expectations.
As Walmart’s Prepaid Consolidation program continues to expand through national purchase orders, automated consolidation centers and future network changes, C.H. Robinson is built to support suppliers throughout the evolution. With one integrated, nationwide consolidation network, prepaid suppliers working with C.H. Robinson will not need to rebuild their supply chain in response to every change.
