Systems and methods for baselining using multiple baseline methodologies

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory storing one or more programs, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the electronic device to:
• receive, via an input device within a user interface displayed on the display of the electronic device, from a user of the electronic device, a request to view baseline candidates for a first set of print specifications associated with a first item in a first product category;
• in response to receiving the request:
• retrieve, from the print procurement system, historical purchasing information about a plurality of fulfilled items in the first product category;
• display, within the user interface on the display, a respective user interface object for each fulfilled item of the plurality of fulfilled items;
• while displaying the respective user interface objects for each fulfilled item of the plurality of fulfilled items, retrieve, from the print procurement system, an exact baseline match tolerance and a similar baseline match tolerance associated with the first item;
• for each fulfilled item in the plurality of fulfilled items:
• identify deviations in print specifications associated with a respective fulfilled item when compared to the first set of print specifications;
• in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the exact baseline match tolerance, designate the respective fulfilled item as an exact baseline match;
• in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the similar baseline match tolerance, designate the respective fulfilled item as a similar baseline match;
• and
• update the respective user interface object within the user interface that is displayed on the display corresponding to the respective fulfilled item to indicate whether the respective fulfilled item has been designated as an exact baseline match or a similar baseline match based on the determinations as to whether the deviations satisfy the exact and similar baseline match tolerances,
• wherein the determination that the deviations satisfy the exact baseline match tolerance and the determination that the deviations satisfy the similar baseline match tolerance are performed by the electronic device and/or the print procurement system in accordance with bandwidth usage at the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions that, when executed by an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:

• receive, via an input device within a user interface displayed on the display of the electronic device, from a user of the electronic device, a request to view baseline candidates for a first set of print specifications associated with a first item in a first product category;
• in response to receiving the request:
• retrieve, from a print procurement system, historical purchasing information about a plurality of fulfilled items in the first product category;
• display, within the user interface on the display, a respective user interface object for each fulfilled item of the plurality of fulfilled items;
• while displaying the respective user interface objects for each fulfilled item of the plurality of fulfilled items, retrieve, from the print procurement system, an exact baseline match tolerance and a similar baseline match tolerance associated with the first item;
• for each fulfilled item in the plurality of fulfilled items:
• identify deviations in print specifications associated with a respective fulfilled item when compared to the first set of print specifications;
• in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the exact baseline match tolerance, designate the respective fulfilled item as an exact baseline match;
• in accordance with a determination that the deviations satisfy the similar baseline match tolerance, designate the respective fulfilled item as a similar baseline match;
• and
• update the respective user interface object within the user interface that is displayed on the display corresponding to the respective fulfilled item to indicate whether the respective fulfilled item has been designated as an exact baseline match or a similar baseline match based on the determinations as to whether the deviations satisfy the exact and similar baseline match tolerances,
• wherein the determination that the deviations satisfy the exact baseline match tolerance and the determination that the deviations satisfy the similar baseline match tolerance are performed by the electronic device and/or the print procurement system in accordance with bandwidth usage at the electronic device.
