SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ORDERING ITEMS AT A WORK SITE

摘要

A system for ordering items includes a plurality of tagged containers, an item being stored in each container. A mobile electronic device reads data in a tag associated with one of the containers and identifies at least one supplier for the item that is within a predetermined distance of the mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device sends an order request to a server that identifies the at least one type of item in the container and the at least one supplier. The server generates an order for the item with only the one supplier identified in the order request and sends the order to another server operated by the one supplier.
