Abstract

Various embodiments include a system that can comprise one or more processing modules and/or one or more non-transitory memory storage modules storing computing instructions on the one or more processing modules. The computing instructions can be configured to perform the acts of receiving an ordered list from a user via a software application on a mobile device of the user, wherein the software can comprise a bar code scanner, wherein the ordered list can comprise a first set of records describing a first set of physical items; receiving first data obtained from the barcode scanner, wherein the first data can comprise a first distinct record describing a first distinct physical item within the first set of physical items; querying a physical item database, wherein the physical item database can comprise a second distinct record describing the location of the first distinct physical item and a second set of records describing locations of the first set of physical items; calculating a first optimized route from the location of the first distinct physical item to a first series of distinct physical items using at least a portion of the second set of records and the second distinct record, wherein the first series of distinct physical items can comprise at least a portion of the first set of physical items; creating a first reordered list from the first series of distinct physical items using the first optimized route; and presenting the first optimized route and the first reordered list to the user via a graphic user interface on the software application on the mobile device of the user. Other embodiments are also disclosed herein.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory memory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform:
receiving an ordered list comprising a first set of records describing a first set of physical items;
receiving first data obtained from a barcode scanner, wherein the first data comprises a first distinct record describing a first distinct physical item within the first set of physical items;
querying a physical item database, wherein the physical item database comprises:
a second distinct record describing a location of the first distinct physical item;
and
a second set of records describing locations of the first set of physical items;
calculating a first optimized route from the location of the first distinct physical item to a first series of distinct physical items using at least a portion of the second set of records and the second distinct record, wherein:
the first series of distinct physical items comprises at least a portion of the first set of physical items;
and
the first optimized route comprises a shortest walking route from the location of the first distinct physical item to each respective distinct physical item of the first series of distinct physical items;
creating a first reordered list from the first series of distinct physical items using an order of each respective distinct physical item of the first series of distinct physical items in the first optimized route;
and
presenting the first optimized route and the first reordered list to a user via a graphic user interface on a software application on a mobile device of the user.
