Welcome Walmart Products Vendors

RetailComply is a centralized compliance program designed to give Walmart visibility into vendor compliance across key product areas.

Participation in this program includes uploading and maintaining the following:

• Licensing Documentation – State licenses for all applicable brands (private and national)
• Product Information – Current product portfolio categorized as: 
• Feed/Food
• Treat
• Topper
• Supplement
• Remedy
•  Tonnage Data – Monthly or quarterly volume sold, if applicable

Data will be reviewed and verified by our regulatory team and accessible to Walmart to support compliance oversight and violation/off-sale mitigation.

When a retailer partners with PFC, they require their vendors to subscribe to their database through the PFC PAW platform. During the initial launch of the program, this will be generated for you. If you’re onboarding after the initial implementation, you will select your partnered retailer(s) during the sign-up process through your account,This is done by selecting the retailer listed under Retail Compliance, providing your retailer assigned Vendor ID, and enrolling in a managed service.

PFC offers comprehensive state-by-state compliance solutions, including initial registration, ongoing management of licenses/registrations and tonnage reporting, and violation resolution. We also offer detailed label audits to state-level requirements, as well as AAFCO recommendations.

You might already be working with another management company, or you’re successfully managing your licenses and tonnage on your own — no problem! Our program is designed to support existing efforts. You can also reach out to our team to evaluate how to gain the most value from our program. PFC will walk you through cost and time saving opportunities and assist with selecting the right managed service for your team and company.

Upgrading Your Managed Service 

Our entry-level Managed Service is Essentials+. This allows you to store and manage your licenses, share and organize product across its lifecycle, and track tonnage data using our proprietary system. However, this service leaves you responsible for handling license renewals, tonnage reporting, and overall compliance. If you want peace of mind, you can upgrade to Complete at any time.

Initial Registration Support 

 If you are missing a mandatory license based on your products, our team can assist with the application process. We can pre-certify your licenses, allowing for you to compliant prior to receiving the license. 

Labeling

Uploading labels to the PAW platform is one important step of RetailComply. That process does not include a label review. We recommend having our Regulatory Team review your labels. Each audit is completed to state and AAFCO recommendations — supporting a crucial step in achieving state-level compliance.
