A delivery management platform, a mobile application, and a method are disclosed. The delivery management platform can use the mobile application to manage carriers that perform deliveries of products. The delivery management platform can receive delivery schedules, group deliveries in the delivery schedules into loads, and use the mobile application both to make the loads available to carrier members and to receive events sent from carrier members. The delivery management platform can also use the mobile application to pay carriers and to receive information to update carrier data. Using the mobile application, carrier members can both interact with the delivery management platform and can assign, track, and perform deliveries.

Delivery management platform and mobile application

In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving, from a requestor device, an item location request for an item. Map information is received for a mapped space in which the item is located. Item location coordinates are received corresponding to locations within the mapped space at which the item has been previously selected or scanned. The item location coordinates are mapped with respect to the mapped space, and a plurality of clusters are determined for the item location coordinates. For each cluster, a representative location of the cluster is determined. One of the clusters is selected, based at least in part on its representative location, and an estimated location of the item is provided to the requestor device, based at least in part on the representative location of the selected cluster.
