  • Patent number: 12488358
    Abstract: An online concierge system for fraud detection in customer orders fulfilled by a picker. A picker client device, with an installed picker application, sends a first list of items related to a fulfilled customer order. Separately, a transaction log containing a second list of items purchased is received from the retailer's inventory system. These lists are compared to identify any unmatched items. A pretrained fraud detection model, trained on historical data with labeled instances of fraud or non-fraud, is applied to the unmatched items to assess the likelihood of fraud. If this likelihood surpasses a predefined threshold, the item is flagged as a fraudulent instance. This determination is then sent to an auditor client device for further action.
