Abstract
Methods and systems for virtually managing product inventory from an application on a smart device through at least one of a bar code scanning feature, an integration of a virtual toolbox component and a shopping cart component, and a checkout selection option to request a purchase order associated with a user token authorization.
Claims20
A method for virtually managing a product inventory from an application on a smart device, the method comprising:
- receiving a login to the application on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the smart device by a user, wherein the application includes a virtual toolbox;
- receiving a user token authorization based on the login;
- selecting a product from a list of products to generate a selected product associated with the user token authorization, wherein the list of products is presented via the virtual toolbox, the list of products generated by at least one of:
- a product search option in the virtual toolbox, the virtual toolbox configured to store one or more products from the product inventory;
- an online catalog option via the virtual toolbox;
- or
- a bar code scanning feature of the virtual toolbox configured to scan a bar code of an associated product;
- adding an order quantity of the selected product associated with the user token authorization to a virtual shopping cart as an order, wherein the order quantity is based at least in part on a maximum stock level;
- wherein the virtual shopping cart is configured for integration with the virtual toolbox such that selection of the selected product from the virtual toolbox is configured to generate an option to auto-populate the virtual shopping cart with the selected product;
- and
- processing the order.

A system for virtually managing a product inventory from an application on a mobile smart device, the system comprising:
- a server;
- and
- the mobile smart device comprising:
- a processor communicatively coupled to the server;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor and through the application, cause the processor to:
- receive a login to the application on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the smart device by a user, wherein the application includes a virtual toolbox;
- receive a user token authorization based on the login;
- select a product from a list of products to generate a selected product associated with the user token authorization, wherein the list of products is presented via the virtual toolbox, the list of products generated by at least one of:
- a product search option in the virtual toolbox, the virtual toolbox configured to store one or more products from the product inventory;
- an online catalog option via the virtual toolbox;
- or
- a bar code scanning feature of the virtual toolbox configured to scan a bar code of an associated product;
- add an order quantity of the selected product associated with the user token authorization to a virtual shopping cart as an order, wherein the order quantity is based at least in part on a maximum stock level;
- wherein the virtual shopping cart is configured for integration with the virtual toolbox such that selection of the selected product from the virtual toolbox is configured to generate an option to auto-populate the virtual shopping cart with the selected product;
- and
- process the order.
