LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING PICKUP ROUTES FOR RETAIL STORES

摘要

According to an aspect, a method for retail store logistics management includes receiving information for pickup order fulfillment including items to be picked up and a store product location map indicating inventory locations and quantities in a retail store. Surveillance data for the store identifies high congestion areas on the sales floor. A pick list and a pickup route through the store are determined to efficiently collect the items on the pick list while avoiding the high congestion areas on the sales floor. The pickup route is displayed as an ordered list or as a route shown on a product location map of the store on a mobile device to guide a user of the mobile device along the pickup route while collecting the items on the pick list.
