The shift from Retail Link™ to Scintilla™ and Supplier One
As a Walmart supplier, you already know that many functions in Retail Link™ have been moved to Scintilla™ and Supplier One.

New in Scintilla™: Quick Item Information
There is an additional new tool in Scintilla™ that can save you time and improve your reporting, too. Quick Item Information, in the Reports section, gives you detailed access to essential product data and does it quickly.
What Quick Item Information does and who it helps
The Quick Item Information report is designed to give you a comprehensive snapshot of your item data, all in one place. This report includes 60 pre-selected columns of item details (132 columns are available), such as:
- Item descriptions & attributes
- UPCs
- Pricing
- Brand ID
- Catalog Item ID
- Vendor pack quantity
- Pack weight
- Pack height
Before this update in Scintilla™, accessing detailed item information often required that you pull multiple reports or manually consolidate data. This took time and opened the door to errors.
With Quick Item Information, you now benefit from:
- Faster access to product details – No more navigating to several reports.
- More accurate reporting – Consolidated data ensures better decision-making.
- Greater efficiency – Product performance and pricing are in one place so you can analyze more quickly and accurately.
If your role relies on item-level reporting, this update will streamline your workflow and make it easier to track key product attributes without searching through multiple sources. And the possibility of making an error is greatly reduced.
How to access the Quick Item Information Report in Scintilla™
