Abstract:
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems receive an indication that an order associated with a user account is ready for pickup. One or more messages to a user device associated with the user account are transmitted in response to the received indication that the order is ready. The one or more messages include identification of the order as being ready for pickup, a pickup location for the order, and a threshold distance from the pickup location for the order. Location data is received at a limited interval from a user device while the user device is outside of the threshold distance from the pickup location. Location data is received at a more frequent interval than the limited interval while the user device is within the threshold distance. The location data is transmitted to a local pickup device to trigger an alert when the user device is approaching the pickup location.
