## Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for delivering packages to customers, comprising a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to receive, from a first user device in a fulfillment center, a package identifier associated with a package for delivery to a customer, modify a database to assign the package identifier to a group, among a plurality of groups, based on a delivery address associated with the package identifier and a location of a camp to which the package is routed, generate a map of the plurality of groups, send the map for display on a second user device in the camp, and send for display an activatable icon on a location on the map, wherein the location of the activatable icon on the map is associated with the delivery address of the package.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to send for display on the second user device a route recommendation for delivering the one or more packages.

### Claim 10

A computer-implemented method for delivering packages to customers, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first user device in a fulfillment center, a package identifier associated with a package for delivery to a customer, the package being routed from the fulfillment center to a camp before delivery to the customer;
modifying a database to assign the package identifier to a group, among a plurality of groups, based on a delivery address associated with the package identifier and a location of the camp to which the package is routed;
generating a map of the plurality of groups, wherein each of the plurality of groups comprises one or more packages associated with a delivery address within a predetermined distance from each other;
sending the map for display on a second user device in the camp wherein the map is used by a user of the second user device to deliver the one or more packages;
retrieving real-time traffic conditions:
sending for display a route recommendation based on the real-time traffic conditions;
sending for display an activatable icon with a number on a location on the map, wherein the location of the activatable icon on the map is associated with the delivery address of each package and the number indicates a number of packages for delivery to the delivery address and the map is configured to receive and display a delivery status for each package and a delivery type associated with each package; and
updating the activatable icon on the map based on the delivery status for each package, wherein the delivery status for each package comprises one of ready, in progress, or complete.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the plurality of groups is generated by:
determining the location of the camp storing packages for delivery to customers;
identifying a first subset of packages for delivery to delivery addresses located within a first predetermined radius from the location of the camp;
