A method for routing unique identifier requests to an appropriate traceability application includes handling requests in a director. The method includes receiving a request from a client in the network, wherein the request includes a unique identifier; forwarding the identifier to a first traceability application from a list of potential traceability applications; receiving a response from the first server; and if the first server cannot confirm it can process the request, repeat querying a subsequent traceability application from the list, until an originating traceability application is found that can process said request.

An online concierge system trains a machine learning conversion model that predicts a probability of receiving an order from a user when the user accesses the online concierge system. The conversion model predicts the probability of receiving the order based on a set of input features that include price and availability information. For each access to the online concierge system, the online concierge system applies the conversion model to a current price and availability and to an optimal price availability. The online concierge system generates a metric as the difference between the two predicted probabilities of receiving an order.

This application relates to systems, methods, devices, and other techniques for utilizing visual reality shopping experience for users.

Systems and methods are described for tracking and providing status updates for delivery of a product. An example method may include obtaining a request to process an order for transporting a product between a shipper and a receiver storage location. Shipper and receiver profiles may be identified by accessing a database comprising a plurality of tenant profiles, each profile including specifications associated with handling of the product. A set of instructions for processing the order may be determined from data associated with at least one of the shipper or receiver profiles, and communicated to a carrier device. Status updated may be generated based on data uploaded to the system via the carrier device, where the status updates may be associated with the shipper profile, the receiver profile, or both. A confirmation of the delivery may be generated based on the data obtained from the carrier device.

A computing system for alternate path generation is disclosed. In aspects, the computing system can implement methods to generate the alternate paths by: identifying an optimal path to a destination node on a first graph, generating a path graph, and generating an alternate path sequence based on the path graph. In aspects, the computing system can further generate an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the alternate path sequence and transmit the interactive GUI to a display unit for display.

The present invention relates to a method for providing hair extension subscription services, and more specifically providing do it yourself hair kits. A packaged hair kit includes a hair box, a hair storage bag, hair extensions, hair accessories, hair supplies, and instructions on how to install hair kit.

A storage system may comprise a common characteristic label comprising a first scannable code correlated to a first catalogue information and at least one origin or destination label having a second scannable code correlated to a second catalogue information. The storage system may comprise a smart device having a processor, a memory, and a transceiver, and may receive an input from a camera. The smart device may receive scans of the first scannable code and of the second scannable code, and receive the first catalogue information and the second catalogue information, respectively. The processor may associate the second catalogue information with the first catalogue information. The processor may access origin or destination data associated with the first catalogue information and/or second catalogue information. The smart device may receive images of stored items. The memory may store images and the processor may associate the images with the first catalogue information.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including identifying an upcoming event associated with a first member of a group, where the upcoming event is associated with an interest, by a second member of the group, in a purchase of a product associated with the first member of the group, generating a set of weighted characteristics associated with the product according to a first ranking of characteristics associated with the product and the first member and a second ranking of the characteristics associated with the product and the second member, applying the set of weighted characteristics to product offerings for fulfilling the request to purchase the product to generate a plurality of matrix scores associated with the product offerings, determining a ranked list of the product offerings for the fulfilling the request to purchase the product according to the plurality of matrix scores, negotiating, with a retail virtual assistant, a purchase arrangement associated with a first product offering, and executing an automatic purchase of the first product offering according to the purchase arrangement. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A computer-implemented method for improving efficiency in an electronic procurement system for sourcing resources, comprising, during digital electronic interactions of a buyer computer with one or more software platforms and without receiving explicit request for recommendations from the buyer computer: automatically generating, at a coding computer, implicit observation data of the buyer computer; automatically determining, at the coding computer, one or more active sourcing events from a plurality of sourcing events, based on at least the implicit observation data of the buyer computer; using the coding computer, causing to display at least one of the one or more active sourcing events in a graphical user interface.

A multizone equipment tracking solution includes radio frequency identification (RFID) tags affixed to items of inventoried equipment; a plurality of RFID readers deployed in a plurality of different zones, including a transit zone and a storage zone, wherein an RFID reader in a transit zone comprises a mobile reader and a wireless signal strength measurement component; and a monitoring node. The RFID readers read tag codes from items that are in the different zones, and report the information to the monitoring node, permitting a real-time, end-to-end view of inventoried equipment across different zones. The RFID reader in the transit zone also measures a wireless signal strength (e.g., cellular) along a transit route and reports the measurements, thereby reducing a need for dedicated monitoring efforts by the wireless network operator. Reported data, may be advantageously mined to provide value for inventory management, while also providing cost savings for wireless network management.
