Customers consistently highlighted the comprehensive testing coverage Applause provides on different devices, operating systems and configurations across the demographics and geographies they need. The exceptional quality of results and the speed at which they are delivered to customers were recurring themes.

Walmart recently expanded its InHome delivery service – where Walmart employees install a smart lock onto a customer’s front or garage door and then deliver products and groceries directly into the customer’s garage, kitchen and even refrigerator using a one-time access code for the smart lock. Orders are made through the InHome app and the entire process is recorded by the Walmart employee so that the customer can view the delivery in the app as it happens.

The service debuted in Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Vero Beach, Florida, and was recently added in Arkansas, Southeast Florida and Atlanta. When Walmart needed to test InHome with real users completing real customer journeys, it turned to Applause.
