A logistics management system is provided that alerts a customer regarding nearby purchasing opportunities as the customer travels about accomplishing other scheduled tasks. By gathering information regarding expected locations of the customer at expected times, as well as by tracking customer inventory information along with geographically proximate retailer inventories, the logistics management system may automate orders of products such that the customer may perform curbside pickups of the products as they travel between previously scheduled appointments. The logistics management system may negotiate with retailers for better prices, and/or may cancel other existing orders for products if it is determined that performing a curbside pickup of a product would be preferable. In some embodiments, the logistics management system may manage not only curbside pickups of products, but also access to other resources, such as places in a queue for a resource at a retailer. |
