This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically scheduling pickup and deliveries of ordered items. In some examples, an order for purchased items is received. The order may be for pickup or delivery. A first subset of a plurality of vendors are determined to be eligible to execute the pickup or delivery based on applying a set of vendor rules to the order. From the first subset of vendors, a second set of vendors are determined to have capacity based on applying a first set of algorithms to the order and to capacity data. The second set of vendors may then be ranked based on applying a second set of algorithms to the order and to performance data. The order is assigned to the highest ranked vendor. In some examples, the first set of algorithms and the second set of algorithms include one or more trained machine learning models.
