TEL AVIV - Walmart said on Tuesday it has acquired Aspectiva, an Israeli start-up whose technology analyses consumers’ product reviews to help shoppers make decisions.Aspectiva will join Walmart’s Store No 8, the incubation arm launched by the U.S. retailer in 2017 to find new commerce-related technologies.
