A system comprising:

• a display device;
• a storage apparatus comprising a plurality of container positions and a plurality of container position identifiers that are aligned with the plurality of container positions;
• and
• a coordinating device with one or more processors configured to:
• receive a container position identifier of the plurality of container position identifiers, wherein the container position identifier is aligned with a particular container position of the plurality of container positions;
• receive a container identifier of a particular container within a time interval of receiving the container position identifier;
• allocate the particular container to store one or more items of a pending order and to the particular container position about the storage apparatus in response to receiving the container position identifier and the container identifier;
• and
• present a visual identifier on the display device that differentiates the particular container from other containers or that differentiates the particular container position from the plurality of container positions in response to arrival of each item of the one or more items before the storage apparatus.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions to:

• receive a first identifier that identifies a particular container position about a storage apparatus with a plurality of container positions;
• receive a second identifier of a particular container within a time interval of receiving the first identifier;
• allocate the particular container to store one or more items of a pending order and to the particular container position about the storage apparatus in response to receiving the first identifier and the second identifier;
• and
• generate a message to present a visual identifier that differentiates the particular container from other containers or that differentiates the particular container position from the plurality of container positions in response to arrival of each item of the one or more items before the storage apparatus.
