Commodity usage tracking and replenishment apparatus and method

摘要

A commodity goods usage tracking and replenishment apparatus, in which a central server has a database of consumer profiles identifying consumers and commodity goods for usage tracking and replenishment. A messaging transceiver receives and transmits messages to the central server and is selectively operated by the central server and by the consumer. An evaluator periodically determines from the use information a remaining inventory amount of the commodity goods. Upon determining that a low inventory may exist, a re-order reminder message is communicated to the messaging transceiver of the consumer, who responds with a confirmation to purchase and receive the goods. A method of tracking and replenishing commodity goods is disclosed.
