Abstract
One example of the present disclosure can include a server that can determine transport routes for individual objects based on rules. The transport routes can include an intermediary at which the individual objects are to be consolidated into a single container. The server can also receiving a request from a client computer for an object label corresponding to one of the individual objects. In response to receiving the request, the server can determine the intermediary based on a transport route for the object, generate the object label based on the intermediary, and transmit the object label to the client computer for causing the object label to be printed with a printer and coupled to the object.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, a request via a website from a client computer of an intermediary, wherein the request is for a container label to be applied by the intermediary to a single container, the intermediary being a location at which multiple objects traveling along multiple transport routes are to be consolidated into the single container;
- generating, by the processor, the container label as a digital label, wherein the container label indicates a next location to which to transport the single container;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, the digital label to the client computer via the website for causing the digital label to be printed with a printer as a physical label and coupled to an exterior of the single container.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory including instructions that are executable by the processor for causing the processor to perform operations including:
- receiving a request via a website from a client computer of an intermediary, wherein the request is for a container label to be applied by the intermediary to a single container, the intermediary being a location at which multiple objects traveling along multiple transport routes are to be consolidated into the single container;
- generating the container label as a digital label, wherein the container label indicates a next location to which to transport the single container;
- and
- transmitting the digital label to the client computer via the website for causing the digital label to be printed with a printer as a physical label and coupled to an exterior of the single container.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by one or more processors for causing the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- receiving a request via a website from a client computer of an intermediary, wherein the request is for a container label to be applied by the intermediary to a single container, the intermediary being a location at which multiple objects traveling along multiple transport routes are to be consolidated into the single container;
- generating the container label as a digital label, wherein the container label indicates a next location to which to transport the single container;
- and
- transmitting the digital label to the client computer via the website for causing the digital label to be printed with a printer as a physical label and coupled to an exterior of the single container.
