Abstract
One variation of a method includes: receiving a first image captured by a mobile device in a back-of-store inventory region of a store; identifying a product type represented in the first image; accessing a second image of an inventory structure in a customer region of the store, the second image captured by a mobile robotic system traversing aisles of the store during a scan cycle; based on features extracted from the second image and the set of point-of-sale data, predicting a first quantity of product units of the product type loaded in the slot; and, in response to the first quantity of product units falling below a threshold quantity, generating a prompt to deliver a second quantity of product units from the back-of-store inventory structure to the slot in the inventory structure in the customer region of the store; and transmitting the prompt to the mobile device.
