  • Publication number: 20200160269
    Abstract: Methods and systems for integrating same-day delivery services with an online retailer platform are disclosed. Graphical user interfaces are displayed on a retailer website for browsing and selecting items for purchase. Delivery options are provided including those for same-day delivery. A delivery service can provide available schedule delivery timeframes to be displayed on a GUI of the retailer website. A customer selects a delivery window for delivery of items selected for same-day delivery. The delivery windows are communicated through an integration API. Features presented to the customer during a shopping experience from item selection to checkout can be seamlessly presented to the user from both the retailer and the delivery service. Payment can be managed by the retailer rather than passed through the delivery service.

  • Publication number: 20090037283
    Abstract: In some embodiments, systems, methods and graphical user interfaces for managing inventory and ordering supplies are provided. A scanner can be provided for scanning inventory bar codes and for receiving inventory quantities associated with the bar codes. The inventory quantities can be loaded onto a computer in association with corresponding bar codes, and a computer can be used to calculate ordering requirements for each inventory item based on a difference between a par value for each inventory item and its corresponding inventory level. The system can also calculate par values for ingredient items and notify a user of required ingredients to match the calculated par value.
