An online shopping concierge system identifies a set of delivery orders and a set of delivery agents associated with a location. The system allocates the orders among the agents, each agent being allocated at least one order. The system obtains agent progress data describing travel progress of the agents to the location, and order preparation progress data describing progress of preparing the orders for delivery. The system periodically updates the allocation of the orders among the agents based on the agent progress data and the order preparation progress data. This involves re-allocating at least one order to a different delivery agent. When a first agent arrives at the location, the system assigns to the first agent the orders allocated to the first agent. The system then removes the first agent from the set of available delivery agents, and removes the assigned delivery orders from the set of delivery orders.

Initial sales cluster is divided by the control circuit into a plurality of velocity buckets. Subsequently, each velocity bucket is divided into a plurality of micro-clusters. The micro-clusters are defined according to demographic information or store characteristic information. A importance score and a performance score for each of the micro-clusters is determined. An optimal sales cluster and a corresponding optimal planogram for each retail store in each micro-cluster are determined based upon the importance score and the performance score.

A computer-aided design system enables physical articles to be customized via printing or embroidering and enables digital content to be customized and electronically shared. A user interface may be generated that includes an image of a model of an article of manufacture and user customizable design areas that are graphically indicated on the image corresponding to the model. A design area selection may be received. In response to an add design element instruction and design element specification, the specified design element is rendered in the selected design area on the model image. Customization permissions associated with the selected design area are accessed, and using the customization permissions, a first set of design element edit tools are selected and rendered. User edits to the design element may be received and rendered in real time. Manufacturing instructions may be transmitted to a printing system.

A cloud-based system for use by retail store employees or customers at any location to facilitate the sale of automotive tires to consumers is provided. The system accesses multiple independent tire inventory systems from different distributors/manufacturers and provides a personalized set of recommendation tire options and accompanying TPMS service packs.

A method of predicting crop yield includes generating, via a processor, a plurality of vectors representative of growing conditions for a current time period and a plurality of vectors representative of growing conditions for a previous time period. The processor compares the plurality of vectors for the current time to the vectors of the previous time periods for corresponding growing conditions and determines which previous vectors are closest to the current vectors. The plurality of previous time periods are each associated with crop yields. Thus, the processor can determine a crop yield for the current time period for a selected crop producing field and crop type based on crop yields for the closest previous time periods.

A publish and subscribe architecture can be utilized to manage records, which can be used to accomplish the various functional goals. At least one template having definitions for managing production and consumption of data within an unconfigured group of computing resources is maintained. Records organized by topic collected from multiple disparate previously configured producers are utilized to initiate configuration of the unconfigured group of computing resources. Records within a topic are organized by a corresponding topic sequence. A first portion of the computing resources are configured as consumers based on the at least one template. The consumers to consume records at a pace independent of record production. A second portion of the computing resources are configured as producers based on the at least one template. The producers to produce records at a pace independent of record consumption.

A learning management system may be configured to retrieve roster data from a roster database and determine from the roster data whether a pilot has a scheduled downtime during a flight or a layover time before the flight. The system may further retrieve flight data associated with the flight from the learning management system and determine a training concept associated with the flight. The system may also select a training exercise from multiple training exercises, where the training exercise is associated with the training concept. A notification may be sent to an electronic device associated with the pilot, where the notification includes an offer to perform the training exercise.

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for receiving a complex task; processing the complex task to define a plurality of discrete tasks each having a discrete goal; executing the plurality of discrete tasks on a plurality of machine-accessible public computing platforms; determining if any of the plurality of discrete tasks failed to achieve its discrete goal; and if a specific discrete task failed to achieve its discrete goal, defining a substitute discrete task having a substitute discrete goal.

The present disclosure provides for a method, comprising: importing customer reviews from a plurality of external sources, wherein importing customer reviews comprises of performing a scheduled job at a pre-determined frequency that makes a functional call with property identifiers to an application programming interface operating as an individual importer; categorizing each imported customer review into a designated one or more categories; displaying each of the imported customer reviews through one or more widgets on a user interface of a management system; importing work orders generated at individual properties, wherein each work order is assigned a ticket number; importing emails transmitted to a specific email address; and generating a work order from an imported email.
