How Walmart is getting work done on Upwork

Global Operations Team & Data Visualization

The Problem:

The client needed to visualize the flow of discoveries from the R&D team with metrics related to sales, HR data, IP development, new product commercialization, quality, unit costs & change management. Their internal team did not have bandwidth or the relevant skill sets available to manage the project.

The Solution:

Within 1 week of the initial scoping call, the Upwork team matched them with a data visualization expert who successfully built a dashboard prototype in just 3 weeks.

The Impact:

This data dashboard enabled the client to now predict product growth and inform future areas of investment across the business. Impressed with the work, they engaged the same freelancer to support ongoing maintenance and further expansion of the tool.
