Walmart seeks to monetise its facility services arm

Walmart has launched Upstream Facility Services, offering its in-house maintenance expertise to US companies. Built on systems supporting Walmart and Sam’s Club outlets, the service targets multi-site operators with HVAC, refrigeration, general maintenance, electrical and plumbing support. Walmart said the business would use national scale, local technician coverage and training to help clients reduce downtime, improve consistency and extend asset life. (Walmart)
