Acquisition of Jet.com

It’s the largest acquisition in E-commerce history: $3 billion in cash plus up to $300 million in shares. And all for a two-year-old company that’s just getting off the ground.

By purchasing Jet, Walmart’s biggest attempt to stick it to Amazon and take a share of the E-commerce pie, the offline retail giant has cunningly opened up an opportunity to slide in as one of the biggest go-to online retailers for customers and sellers alike.

The promise Jet brings is grounded in its technology specifically, the powerful AI software which Jet’s online platform is built on.

Unique to Jet, the proprietary algorithm pulls data from their vast marketplace of third party sellers, serving their customers with the best products, at the best price, by the best possible means of delivery.

Acquisition of Shoebuy.com

And future plans

Wal-Mart is kicking off the

year with the acquisition of

ShoeBuy.com, an online shoe

retailer that competes

with Amazon's Zappos.

The acquisition

reportedly cost $70

million.

Apparel is the largest online

sales category in the United

States. It shouldn't be a huge

surprise that Amazon is the

largest online seller of clothing

in the country.

The ShoeBuy acquisition

is a perfect fit to launch

sales of the "long-tail,

high-margin" categories

Wal-Mart is lacking.

A big budget for improvements and acquisitionsWal-Mart plans on spending $1.1 billion on

its e-commerce operations in fiscal 2018,

up from $900 million this year. But Wal-

Mart developed that plan before it acquired

Jet.com and put Marc Lore in charge of

growing its e-commerce business.
