METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REPLENISHING SUPPLIES IN A PRODUCT ARRAY

摘要

The present disclosure provides systems and methods to aid in the resupply of product arrays, such as contact lenses. In an aspect, this is accomplished by providing a physical product array to a reseller. Additionally, a computer-operated application is provided that displays a virtual representation of the physical product array. The reseller can then manipulate the virtual storage array to more easily identify the specific product slots in the array that need to be restocked, and the application can interact directly with an ordering system for the product manufacturer to submit orders for fulfillment. In an aspect, the application stores the product attributes for each slot of the product array, so that a simple visual inspection of the physical array can be translated into the proper product without a reseller having to determine product attributes for the specific array slots.
