WIT Technology Innovation Award Recognizes Achievements at Walmart

Walmart was selected for the innovation of NTransit, a mobile software application built to provide their fleet drivers with a worldclass, frictionless experience in the cabs of their trucks. NTransit starts by providing the drivers with a single platform for all the tools and information they need to move freight across Walmart’s supply chain, while staying connected with the dispatch office and other important stakeholders along their journey. This helps to minimize excess time spent at locations and enables the driver to efficiently move through their workday.

In 2022, the Women In Trucking Association (WIT) sought nominations for the first annual Technology Innovation Award, sponsored by Clean Harbors. This award recognizes innovation, vision, and technical achievements that support and advance the trucking industry.

NTransit is also a communication platform that informs the driver of any traffic incidents or unsafe conditions, so the driver has all the information needed to go about their day on the safest and most efficient routes. NTransit also provides realtime location tracking to provide ETAs to the Walmart stores on the driver’s route, ensuring the store is ready to receive and unload their freight and get the driver back on the road quickly. Additional enhancements are in development to further digitize the driver’s experience, including the ability to make paperless deliveries and move right through the gate at warehouses without having to stop for paperwork review and seal validation.

“The technology innovation award helps promote our mission to address obstacles our members face in the trucking industry,” says Ellen Voie, founder of WIT. “The NTransit app provides Walmart fleet drivers with the technology to experience a more user friendly, simpler, and intuitive process to stay connected from start to finish for each trip. This removes much of the uncertainty drivers often experience during their daily deliveries.”

Finalists for the award, Relay Payments and REVOLOK USA LLC, also were recognized at the Accelerate! Conference
