Abstract
Some examples include a processor that accesses past order information for a plurality of past orders received in the past for a plurality of merchants and delivered by delivery agents. Further, for an upcoming time period, based on the past orders received by individual merchants over a past period of time, the processor may determine a predicted number of orders to be received for an upcoming time period for the individual merchants. The processor may execute delivery agent management logic to compare, for the upcoming time period, a number of active delivery agents with the predicted number of orders, and may send a message to a first delivery agent device associated with a first delivery agent to cause one of: activation of the first delivery agent from inactive status to active status, or deactivation of the first delivery agent from active status to inactive status.
