Abstract: An online concierge shopping system fulfills orders using workers who pick items at a warehouse to complete an order and workers to deliver the orders to a customer's location. To optimize the staffing of workers for each task, the system uses a trained model to predict the number of workers needed to achieve an optimal outcome based on an input set of contextual information. The system also schedules specific workers to various shifts using the predicted number of workers needed and then searching a feasibility space for an optimal solution. The trained model may be updated based on performance observations.

Abstract: An online system receives, scans from a plurality of picker client devices. Each scan comprises an item identifier and a location in a store where the item was scanned. The online system creates a map of the store based on location data received from a picker client device as a picker moves around the store. Using the map and the scans, the online system builds a planogram of the store. The planogram comprises a mapping of a plurality of locations in the store to one or more items at each of the plurality of locations. The online system receives an order of items to be fulfilled at the store from a customer client device and determines location information describing locations of the items in the store based on the planogram. The online system transmits, to a picker mobile device, the location information for display.
