For consumer brands selling into Walmart · $50M-$300M revenue

Your Data & AI Partner for Walmart Suppliers.

Turn your supplier data into better retail decisions.

Forecasting. OTIF. Scorecards. Retail media. It all runs on your data.

Most supplier teams have the data. What they don't have is a partner who owns it end to end and turns it into decisions your buyer and your ops team can act on. Based in Northwest Arkansas.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • Your Walmart business has grown faster than your data infrastructure.
  • Your team relies on spreadsheets and manual reporting to get through a line review.
  • You have the data but struggle to turn it into decisions.
  • No one owns data and AI end to end.
  • You're investing in AI but aren't sure where it will actually create value.

This probably isn't for you if:

  • You need a short-term developer for a single build.
  • You want a dashboard project with no follow-through.
  • You want a report handed off with no implementation support.

The data problem no one owns

This is what it looks like without a data leader in the room.

Scintilla, Scintilla In-Store, Scintilla Media Data Feed: Walmart Data Ventures keeps shipping new tools, and most teams can't keep up with what each one is actually for.

Retail Link exports pile up in spreadsheets. No one turns them into a forecast.

OTIF misses show up as fines and chargebacks. By the time you see the report, the money is already gone.

Line reviews happen once a year. Your team builds slides instead of walking in with a scorecard.

None of this is a data problem. It's a leadership problem. No one owns the data end to end.

Why Navaark

Not a generic consulting firm. Not a dashboard vendor. Not a fractional exec parked in a meeting.

Operator, not slideware

The Diagnostic ends in a roadmap you can act on, not a deck that gets filed away.

Retail context, technical depth

Enough understanding of Retail Link, OTIF, and line reviews to know what your buyer cares about, and enough technical depth to fix the pipeline behind it.

Start small, scale if it works

The relationship starts with a focused Diagnostic. There's no obligation to go further.

Partner, not project vendor

Where it makes sense, I work alongside your team to execute, not just hand off a report.

How the engagement works

Three stages. There's no obligation to move past the first one.

01 · Diagnose

Data & AI Diagnostic

A fixed-fee, 2-to-3-week look at your data, reporting, analytics, and AI capabilities, and how they map to your business priorities.

02 · Prioritize

A roadmap you can act on

The findings become a prioritized plan: the gaps, risks, and opportunities that matter most, and what to fix, build, or automate first.

03 · Execute

Embedded execution, if it's a fit

Where it makes sense, ongoing support, including embedded Data & AI leadership, strategic guidance, and hands-on execution, to run what the roadmap calls for.

Navaark doesn't just hand over advice and leave. Where it makes sense, we stay alongside your team to turn priorities into execution.

Ongoing Data & AI Partnership

Monthly. Scoped to what the Diagnostic finds.

  • ✓ Direct ownership of forecasting, OTIF, and scorecard reporting
  • ✓ Retail media measurement, built on Walmart's Scintilla Media Data Feed, that you can defend in a line review
  • ✓ A seat at the table with your ops and sales teams, working alongside them rather than handing off a report after the fact
  • ✓ A phased AI investment roadmap: every initiative starts as a small pilot, and proven results are what unlock funding for the next stage

Delivered as embedded, fractional Data & AI leadership. The Diagnostic decides whether this is worth doing. If it is, this is what it looks like.

20+ years running data and analytics teams

I've spent 20+ years building and leading data and analytics organizations across retail, entertainment, healthcare, and SaaS, including experience at Costco and Disney.

I've built forecasting models, run scorecard programs, and sat across the table from category managers. I know what a line review looks like from both sides of it.

Costco Disney Retail Entertainment Healthcare SaaS

Professional experience. Costco and Disney are not Navaark clients, partners, or affiliates.
