Techniques and system configurations for demand-based product sourcing in an electronic commerce setting is described herein. In one example, information about an item corresponding to a plurality of fulfillment locations is stored in a database. The information includes a plurality of transit times and a plurality of transit costs corresponding to each of the plurality of transit times. A subset of transit times is selected upon receiving a location of a user. A subset of transit costs corresponding with the subset of transit times is selected. An indication of a selection of a transit time is received. The indication includes the item, a quantity of the item, and a destination. A preferred fulfillment location of a subset of fulfillment locations is calculated, the calculating using the transit time, the location, and a selection rule, wherein the selection rule is generated using a plurality of selection attributes. |

1. A method comprising:
storing, in a database, information about an item corresponding to a plurality of fulfillment locations, the information including a plurality of transit times and a plurality of transit costs corresponding to respective of the plurality of transit times; selecting, upon receiving a location of a user, a subset of transit times from the plurality of transit times; selecting a subset of transit costs from the plurality of transit costs, the subset of transit costs corresponding with the subset of transit times; receiving an indication of a selection of a transit time of the subset of transit times, the indication including the item, a quantity of the item, and a destination; and calculating, in response to receiving the indication, a preferred fulfillment location of a subset of fulfillment locations of the plurality of fulfillment locations corresponding to the subset of transit times, the calculating using the transit time, the location, and a selection rule, wherein the selection rule is generated using a plurality of selection attributes. |
