Abstract:
This application relates to apparatus and methods for batching orders for delivery. In some examples, a computing device may obtain order data identifying at least a first order and a second order. The computing device may determine whether the first order can be delivered to a first delivery address and the second order can be delivered to a second delivery address within a delivery time window. Based on the determination, the computing device may batch the first order and the second order to generate a batched order. In some examples, the computing device determines if the delivery vehicle can store the items for the first order and the second order to determine whether the orders may be batched. The computing device may generate assignment data identifying an assignment of the batched order to a delivery vehicle, and may transmit the assignment data to another computing device.
