Abstract
An online system uses a trained model for intelligent handling of unclaimed online pickup orders. After identifying that an order placed by a user of the online system is unclaimed at a location of a source, the online system obtains, from a device of a picker associated with the online system and/or a device associated with the source, signals with information about each item in each bundle of the unclaimed order. The online system applies the trained model to identify, based on the obtained signals, a preferred method for disposal of each bundle. Based on the identified preferred method for disposal of each bundle, the online system generates a disposal decision signal and communicates the disposal decision signal to the device associated with the source that prompts personnel at the location of the source to dispose each bundle of the unclaimed order using the identified preferred disposal method.
