Walmart Tests ‘Smart Cooler’ for Doorstep Deliveries
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA/KECY) - Retail giant Walmart is set to test a new smart cooler designed for doorstep deliveries.
They're teaming up with contactless home delivery company 'Home-Valet'.
The two companies are calling the cooler a 'smart box.'
The temperature-controlled box will be placed outside a customer's door to receive deliveries.
Participating customers in Bentonville, Arkansas can start receiving those deliveries, including groceries, starting this spring.
The box has three temperature zones - so it can accommodate frozen, refrigerated, and pantry items.
