Systems and Methods for Strategic Routing and Distribution of Orders for Multi-Location Merchants

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining data indicative of a service request comprising a request for at least a first item and a second item to be transported to a destination location;
• determining that the first item is available at a first grocery location and unavailable at a second grocery location and that the second item is available at the second grocery location and unavailable at the first grocery location;
• transmitting first instructions to a first courier device associated with a first courier, wherein the first instructions can be executed by the first courier device to cause a first service assignment to be provided for display via a user interface of the first courier device, the first service assignment indicating the first courier is to transport the first item from the first grocery location to the second grocery location;
• determining an estimated time for a second courier to travel to the second grocery location and obtain the second item;
• based on the estimated time for the second courier to travel to the second grocery location and obtain the second item, determining a trigger time;
• obtaining location data indicative of progress of the first courier device along an expected route from a start location to the first grocery location and from the first grocery location to the second grocery location;
• and
• based on the progress of the first courier device along the expected route and the trigger time, automatically triggering transmission of second instructions to a second courier device associated with the second courier, wherein the second instructions can be executed by the second courier device to cause a second service assignment to be provided for display via a user interface of the second courier device, the second service assignment indicating the second courier is to transport items to the destination location.
