Abstract
This application relates to apparatus and methods for determining, assigning, and displaying order deliveries. In some examples, a computing device may obtain order data identifying at least one order for delivery during a timeslot. The computing device may transmit, to a driver's computing device, a request for deliveries for a first price during the timeslot. The computing device may receive, from the driver's computing device, a response accepting the request. The computing device may then assign the driver to the order, and determine a delivery status based on the assignment of the first driver to the first order. The delivery status may identify, for example, that the order has been assigned to the driver, an estimated delivery time, the number of items being delivered, the weight of the items, and a route taken by the driver. The computing device may also display the delivery status.
