Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatus are provided in controlling product deliveries to customers. Some embodiments provide a system, comprising: a delivery control system comprising: a delivery control circuit; and a memory coupled to the delivery control circuit and storing computer instructions that when executed by the delivery control circuit cause the delivery control circuit to: identify that a first customer has traveled beyond a first geo-location boundary associated with the first customer; trigger, in response to identifying that the first customer has traveled beyond the first geo-location boundary, a change in monitoring activity of movements of the first customer; identify that the first customer has traveled beyond a second geo-location boundary associated with the first customer; and automatically suspend the scheduled delivery of the one or more products to the delivery site in response to identifying that the first customer has traveled beyond the second geo-location boundary.
