  • Patent number: 11403576
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine readable medium are provided for replenishing product in a freight tethering environment. A pick list is generated at a hub store including one or more items that need to be replenished at a spoke store. It is determined whether the pick list can be fulfilled by the hub store. If the pick list cannot be fulfilled by the hub store, then the one or more items on the pick list is aggregated to a direct-store-delivery from the distribution center. The replenishment need of the spoke store is communicated to a distribution center. Product is received from the distribution center based on the replenishment need, and the pick list for the spoke store is fulfilled by the distribution center.

  • Publication number: 20190034944
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting buffer values are discussed. A quantity data value is retrieved from a database for a receiving location associated with a processing location. A lower buffer value and a higher buffer value are predicted for a period of time based on received lower and higher confidence values and an effective lead time. The effective lead time is determined from the total processing time and a delivery time from the processing location to the receiving location. The lower and higher buffer values indicate a quantity in addition to the present quantity data value to meet variations in the demand value. A buffer data value is received that is more than the lower buffer value and less than the higher buffer value, and an order request is automatically generated and processed for supplying the buffer data value to the processing location.
