Abstract: Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: receiving a request for an order comprising one or more items; determining when the order is eligible for batch picking by finding one or more other orders comprising at least one of the one or more items; and when the order is determined to be eligible for batch picking with the one or more other orders: creating one or more clusters by clustering together (1) the at least one of the one or more items of the order and (2) the at least one of the one or more items of the one or more other orders; estimating, for each respective cluster of the one or more clusters, an estimated fulfillment time interval to make ready the order; and assigning each respective cluster of the one or more clusters to at least one respective picker of one or more respective pickers. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A number of embodiments can include a system. The system can include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage devices storing computing instructions. The computing instructions can be configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: receiving a request for a picked order that can comprise: a conveyance type; and one or more goods; estimating a fulfillment time interval to make ready the one or more goods of the picked order by: evaluating whether the picked order is able to be batched in a picked order batch; and when the picked order is able to be batched, evaluating the conveyance type to determine a conveyance type average fulfilment time interval; determining, using the fulfillment time interval, as estimated, and the conveyance type average fulfilment time interval, a receivable clock time at which to promise the one or more goods for receipt by a receiver; and communicating the receivable clock time to an electronic device of the receiver.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system. The system can include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory storage devices storing computer instructions configured to run on the processor(s) and perform acts including: receiving a request for a picked sales order; estimating an estimated fulfillment time interval to make ready the good(s) of the picked sales order for receipt by the customer, wherein estimating the estimated fulfillment time interval to make ready the good(s) of the picked sales order for receipt by the customer comprises evaluating whether the picked sales order is able to be batched in a picked sales order batch using a k-means clustering to minimize a pick walk of the picked sales order batch; determining a receivable clock time at which to promise the good(s) for receipt by the customer; and communicating the receivable clock time to the customer. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for assigning items to containers that are placed on storage racks of delivery vehicles. In some examples, a computing device may obtain order data identifying at least one order for a plurality of items, and determine a specification, such as a weight or volume, of each item. The computing device may also obtain container data identifying container specifications such as container volume or holding weight. The computing device may assign a first item to a first container based at least partially on the specifications for the first item and the first container. The computing device may determine whether a second item may be assigned to the first container or a second container based at least partially on the specification of the second item, the specification of items already assigned to the first container, and the specification of the first container.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a system. The system can include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory memory storage devices storing computer instructions configured to run on the processor(s) and perform acts including: receiving a request for a picked sales order; promising the good(s) of the picked sales order for receipt by the customer at a receivable clock time; after promising the good(s) of the picked sales order for receipt by the customer at the receivable clock time, detecting a delay condition associated with making ready the one or more goods of the picked sales order for receipt by the customer at the receivable clock time; and communicating a notification of the delay condition to a receiving party. Other embodiments of related systems and methods are also provided.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for assigning containers to storage racks of a delivery vehicle. In some examples, a computing device may assign a first number of a plurality of containers to a first section of a storage rack of the delivery vehicle. Based on determining that the first section of the storage rack cannot store the at least one additional container, the computing device may assign a second number of the plurality of containers to a second section of the storage rack. The computing device may also assign additional containers of the plurality of containers to other sections of the storage rack. The computing device may transmit data identifying the container assignments to a mobile device, such as one operated by an associate. The associate may proceed to store the containers in the storage rack of the delivery vehicle according to the received data.
