Abstract
Systems and methods for strategic routing and distribution of orders for multi-location merchants. The system can obtain data including a service request for multiple items and determine if the inventory at multiple store locations includes a first and second item. The method includes coordinating two couriers fulfilling the request. The method includes assigning a first courier to transport a first item from a first location to a second location and a second courier to transport a first item and second item from the second location to a destination location. The method includes determining a trigger time to send an assignment to a second courier device based on an estimated time for the second courier to travel to the second location and obtain the second item. The method includes automatically triggering transmission of the second assignment based on a progress of the first courier and the trigger time.
