Thanks to over 75,000 associates in Logistics and in our Information Systems Division,
Wal-Mart has “the fi repower” behind our retailing strategy that strives to have what the customer
wants, when the customer wants it. With the Data Warehouse storage capacity of over 570
terabytes – larger than all of the fi xed pages on the Internet** – we have a remarkable level of
real-time visibility into our merchandise planning. So much so that when Hurricane Ivan was
heading toward the Florida panhandle, we knew that there would be a rise in demand for
Kellogg’s® Strawberry Pop-Tart® toaster pastries. Thanks to our associates in the distribution
centers and our drivers on the road, merchandise arrived quickly.
