Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for determining quality of item listings in an online retail environment. A method can include receiving, by a computing system, item listing data having information about items of item categories available in the online retail environment for purchase at computing devices of end consumers, determining, for each of the item categories, one or more quality index scores based on the information included in the item listing data, determining, for each of the item categories, a composite quality index score based on aggregating the quality index scores for the items in each of the item categories, and generating, based on the composite quality index score, output for each of the item categories for presentation on a display screen of a computing device of a retail employee. The quality index scores can quantify quality levels of the item listing data.

Abstract: A network based order fulfillment system having an improved user interface at devices associated with multiple customers collaborating to place and pick up an order with a retailer. The system allows users of multiple devices to coordinate generation and fulfillment of an order through communication with one or more computing devices associated with a merchant to fulfill orders placed by users of other user devices. A first user that has an account with a retailer or a service associated with multiple retailers can use a computing device to invite others to join a shopping group. Once added to the shopping group, group members can participate in various aspects of creating an order, placing the order, fulfilling the order, and other activities associated with the order. A shopping group initiator can specify various limitations on what actions each group member can perform with respect to one or more orders.

Abstract: A network based order fulfillment system having an improved user interface at devices associated with multiple customers collaborating to place and pick up an order with a retailer. The system allows users of multiple devices to coordinate fulfillment of an order through communication with one or more user devices located at a fulfillment location to fulfill orders placed by users of other user devices. An alternate pickup person having a first user device can be associated with an order placed by a different user having a different user device. The user who placed the order can provide identifying information for the alternate pickup person to authorize the alternate pickup person to pick up the order.
