Abstract: An order fulfillment management system including: a controller; a network interface; and a memory, wherein the controller is configured to: receive one or more data streams of orders from the network interface, each order including a plurality of fields, wherein each field is identified by a corresponding field identifier, wherein the plurality of fields include a field identified by a corresponding field identifier as a product field and fields identified by corresponding field identifiers as portions of an address; assign a unique identifier to two or more orders of the one or more data streams of orders having matching fields specified by a match pattern to form a match, wherein the match pattern specifies a plurality of field identifiers; and generate a packing list for the match including the unique identifier and a product field for the two or more orders of the match.
