Patent number: 11954725Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a computer terminal located at a flooring store that receives a measured color of a flooring product. A server receives paint product catalog information from a computer system located at a coating manufacturer facility, determines paint colors that coordinate with the flooring product based on the paint product catalog information, and runs a paint product ordering application that interacts with a web browser of the computer terminal. The computer terminal receives a paint product ordering web page from the server that enables a user to create an order for a paint product based on a selected paint color and transmits the order to the server. The server receives the order and communicates the order to the computer system at the coating manufacturer facility. The computer system receives the order for order fulfillment, including creating, packing, and shipping the paint product to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Behr Process CorporationInventors: James Crogan, Kevin Vandever, Damien Reynolds, John Buzyn, Un Ho Chung, Woosang Jung, Jason van Marle, Puneet Piyush Thakar, Darwin Foye, Marc Webb
