  • Methods and Systems for Sorting Items That Are Received for Further Shipment
    Publication number: 20140279272
    Abstract: A method of sorting items that are received for further shipment includes determining a first quantity of the items to be placed into a first tote and a second quantity of the items to be placed into a second tote. The first tote conveys the items to a first location for immediate shipping to a first set of customers who have ordered only the item. The second tote conveys the items to a second location for matching with different items before being shipped to a second set of customers who have ordered combinations of the item and one or more of the different items. In response to receipt of the items, a first quantity of the items is placed into the first tote in accordance with the determined first quantity, and a second quantity of the items is placed into the second tote in accordance with the determined second quantity.
