Harvest Group is proud to announce Verified Service Provider status through Walmart Data Ventures’ new Verified Service Provider verification program, reflecting our continued investment in the security, governance, and compliance standards required to support brands using Scintilla.
As data access and compliance become an increasingly important part of how agencies operate within Walmart’s ecosystem, this milestone reflects our commitment to being a reliable, forward-looking partner for our clients’ Walmart business.
What Is the Walmart Data Ventures Verified Service Provider Program?
Walmart Data Ventures launched the program to ensure that any third-party agency accessing Scintilla, Walmart’s supplier data platform, on a brand’s behalf meets a consistent bar for security practices, data governance, and compliance. Starting February 1, 2027, completion of the program will be required for any agency to maintain Scintilla access or enter new service agreements.
What This Means for Our Clients
For our client partners, this means working with an agency that has already met compliance requirements for handling Scintilla data with no action needed on their end and no interruption to the media, sales support, or reporting work already underway. It also means partnering with an agency that’s staying ahead of industry requirements before they become mandatory.
Expanding Harvest Group’s Credentials at Walmart
Verified Service Provider status adds to a growing set of Walmart partnership credentials Harvest Group has built over time. Harvest Group holds recognized standing across distinct areas of the Walmart ecosystem:
- Walmart Connect Premium+ Partner status for retail media
- Approved solution provider for Walmart Marketplace
- Walmart Data Ventures Verified Service Provider for Scintilla data access
Each credential reflects a different part of how brands operate at Walmart – from in-store representation, to media, to Walmart Marketplace execution, to the data infrastructure connecting it all. Together, they reflect the breadth of how Harvest Group shows up for clients across the full Walmart business, not just one piece of it.
At Harvest Group, we provide full-funnel support for brands at Walmart — spanning retail media, sales support, and reporting and analytics. Meeting Walmart’s data compliance requirements is part of how we ensure the operational foundation behind that work stays reliable as the retailer’s requirements evolve.
