A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a route search program that causes a computer to execute a process that includes acquiring a storage period of an item for each point of a plurality of points in a case where the item is moved from a departure point to a destination point, the plurality of points including the departure point, the destination point, and one or more relay points; and searching for a route along which the item is moved from the departure point to the destination point based on a traveling cost, storage information, and the acquired storage period, a traveling cost indicating a cost for moving the item between each two points of the plurality of points, the storage information indicating a storage coefficient being used for calculation of a storage cost of the item at each point of the plurality of points in accordance with the storage period.

A computer system for ranking potential attended delivery/pickup locations is disclosed. In various embodiments, a user or computer system identifies an area in which to establish at least one attended delivery/pickup location. In a particular embodiment, the system receives data associated with potential attended delivery/pickup locations (e.g., attended delivery/pickup location candidates), including the specific characteristics of those candidates. The system then, based at least in part on the characteristics of each of the attended delivery/pickup location candidates, ranks the attended delivery/pickup location candidates and displays the rankings to a user for use in selecting the most suitable candidate for the area.

An online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.

Systems and methods which provide for exposing alternate shipping service provider services in shipping management systems are described. Embodiments provide a generic alternate carrier component used to configure configured alternate carrier components of carrier support logic for exposing corresponding alternate shipping service providers for selection and use by users of a shipping management system. A generic alternate carrier component may be configured for a respective alternate shipping service provider for interfacing selected carrier shipping services offerings supported by the alternate shipping service provider with a shipping management platform of a shipping management system. Carrier support modules may be provided for each shipping service provider of a plurality of shipping service providers, wherein the carrier support modules may be configured to interface services logic for a corresponding shipping service provider with a shipping management platform using one or more configured alternate carrier components.

Physical object boundary detection techniques and systems are described. In one example, an augmented reality module generates three dimensional point cloud data. This data describes depths at respective points within a physical environment that includes the physical object. A physical object boundary detection module is then employed to filter the point cloud data by removing points that correspond to a ground plane. The module then performs a nearest neighbor search to locate a subset of the points within the filtered point cloud data that correspond to the physical object. Based on this subset, the module projects the subset of points onto the ground plane to generate a two-dimensional boundary. The two-dimensional boundary is then extruded based on a height determined from a point having a maximum distance from the ground plane from the filtered cloud point data.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for automatically obtaining and processing logistics requests is provided. Embodiments include automatically identifying, using a processor, a logistics request from a logistics request receiver. In response to automatically identifying, embodiments include extracting information from the logistics request and providing the extracted information to an automated quoting validator. Embodiments also include automatically generating at least one quote for the request at the automated quoting validator based upon, at least in part, one or more user defined parameters.

Methods, systems, and computer storage media provide a concurrent browsing session. A user interface is provided for display on a first computing device of a first user to facilitate the concurrent browsing session. The user interface simultaneously displays a first browsing screen showing interaction of the first user with a site and a real-time feed of a second browsing screen presented on a second computing device of a second user showing interaction of the second user with the site. A request is received to split payment of a first item in a first digital cart. In response to the request, a first payment interface for a first portion of the payment is provided for display on the first computing device, and a second payment interface for a second portion of the payment is provided for display on the second computing device.

A computer-implemented method for anonymizing online transaction details may include performing a process to generate an identifier (ID) and reference address for a user, and receiving a request for transaction processing from an e-commerce server. The request may include first data including: information associated with a purchase of a product to be delivered to the user; the identifier; and the reference address. The method may further include: in response to the request, determining whether the ID and reference address are included in the request, and if so, obtaining the accurate address and shipping rate rules; applying, based on the first data and the accurate address, the shipping rate rules to determine accurate shipping rate cost information associated with delivering the product to the accurate address; performing an anonymizing process on the accurate information to obtain anonymous shipping rate information, and transmitting the anonymous shipping rate information to the e-commerce server.

Technologies are provided for advanced prediction of shipping attributes of a package in a dispensing pharmacy. In some embodiments, a computing system can receive prescription data identifying one or more amounts of respective medications, and can generate, using the prescription data, an estimate of weight of a package containing the one or more amounts of the respective medications. The computing system can then cause, at a time before automated packing of the respective medications into the package, a second computing system to provide shipping data for the package. The shipping data includes first data defining a shipping label. The second computing system can be remotely located relative to the computing system. The computing system can receive the shipping data at a second time before the automated packing of the respective medications into the package, and also can store the shipping data in a storage device.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for estimating shipping costs of items purchased in an online market using machine learning techniques. By determining in real-time the dimensional weight of an item with reference to a machine learning model describing past transactions, a buyer and seller in the online market can finalize the transaction in real-time. The machine learning model further implements a bias within the machine learning algorithm towards heavier estimation to avoid undercharging the market participants for shipping costs. One embodiment involves using these cost-estimation techniques in the context of a local shipping feature, which allows buyers and sellers to schedule a same-day delivery by seamlessly involving a local carrier.
