A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular interchangeable button communicatively coupled with the local hub. The actuation signal may include a button ID that identifies the particular interchangeable button and may indicating an actuation of the particular interchangeable button. The local hub may generate an order signal identifying the button ID based on the actuation signal, and may transmit the order signal instructing a remote server to perform a defined operation using the button ID. In some instances, the local hub may output a confirmation notification based on data received from the remote server based on the defined operation.

Restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers

A system and method for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface is described herein. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical user interface including a first set of graphical elements representing a first set of items, and receive a first input selecting a particular item of the first set of items, the first set of graphical elements including a graphical element representing the particular item. The system may generate a graphical list of quantities and render the graphical list of quantities at a first position in the graphical user interface based on the graphical element representing the particular item in the graphical user interface. In some instances, the system may receive a second input identifying a selected quantity from the graphical list of quantities and modify the graphical element representing the particular item to indicate the selected quantity.

Methods and system for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface

Computer-implemented methods, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface

A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular button of a set of interchangeable buttons communicatively coupled with the local hub, the local hub being communicatively coupled with a remote server. The local hub may transmit a signal including a button ID of the particular button to the remote server based on the particular button being activated and the local hub receiving the actuation signal from the particular button. In some implementations, the remote server may determine an item associated with the particular button and attributes of the item based on the button ID of the particular button and a mapping of button IDs to items in a database accessible by the remote server, and execute a defined action using the attributes of the item associated with the particular button.
