Abstract: Systems and methods can enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes systems and methods for optimizing the efficiency of multiple order sortation process lines to expedite order processing in a cost-effective manner. In some embodiments, this innovation includes an efficient method for loading or filling the capacity of multiple parallel order sortation process lines so that they operate at peak efficiently and the operators are utilized at a high level. Additionally, the systems and methods promote efficiency enhancements of order sortation equipment by reducing the potential for downtime due to material flow interferences.

Abstract: Systems and methods can enhance efficiencies of order fulfillment processes. For example, this document describes systems and methods for optimizing the efficiency of order sortation processes to expedite order processing in a cost-effective manner. The systems and methods facilitate high utilization of labor due to reductions in wasted movements and even loading of workers of a team of workers. Additionally, the systems and methods promote efficiency enhancements of order sortation equipment by reducing the potential for downtime due to material flow interferences.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of attribute headings for a product and storing the product and the associated attribute headings as part of a negotiation. A request for products associated with the negotiation is received and in response, a user interface listing at least one of the attribute headings for the product and providing controls for entering an attribute value for the listed at least one attribute heading is generated and transmitted. An attribute value for the listed attribute heading is received as part of a bid during the negotiation and is stored. An indication that the negotiation is complete is received and in response, the attribute value for the listed attribute heading is locked.
