Abstract
An online concierge system applies a predictive model to predict demand of items, and facilitates preemptive picking of items in advance of receiving orders to enable efficient procurement and delivery. The online concierge system may apply a time-series model and/or machine learning model that predicts demand based on historical data. Depending on the predicted demand, items may be preemptively moved from a storage location to a staging area that enables the items to be more rapidly processed and delivered to customers when orders come in.
