This application relates generally to third party carrier management by a shipper of items. These items may be ordered and shipped by the shipper to a distribution center with final delivery performed by the third party carrier. In an embodiment, a system includes at least one processor operatively coupled with a datastore, the at least one processor configured to: send a bid inquiry to a first carrier device and a second carrier device; receive first bid information responsive to the bid inquiry from the first carrier device; receive second bid information responsive to the bid inquiry from the second carrier device; determine a common delivery condition set of the first bid information and the second bid information; and select the first carrier device over the second carrier device based on the common delivery condition set of the first bid information and the second bid information.

Methods and systems and computer-readable media are provided for dual optimization of pick walk and tote fill rates in order picking. Embodiments provide improved order picking speed and quality by optimizing pick routing with consideration of both proximity constraints and tote value constraints. Tote value constraints can include constraints on carrying capacity, volume, size in a particular dimension, or weight capacity.

A system for rush order fulfilment optimization is discussed. The system includes mobile devices that are each associated with a worker and a rush fulfillment engine executed by a computing system which dynamically updates a task queue of each worker upon receipt of a new rush order according to a task completion rate difference between an estimated task completion rate and the current task completion rate of the worker.
