COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC ORDER MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCT FULFILLMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17644247 titled 'COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC ORDER MANAGEMENT FOR PRODUCT FULFILLMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method to improve order management by optimizing sustainable order fulfillment through computer analysis.

  • The method receives an order from a user through an order management system.
  • It estimates the carbon emissions and economic costs of fulfilling the order from multiple nodes.
  • It outputs an optimal sustainable order fulfillment solution based on the analysis.
  • If confirmation is received, the optimal solution is implemented by placing the order.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries and sectors where order management and fulfillment are involved, such as:

  • E-commerce platforms
  • Retail and supply chain management
  • Logistics and transportation companies
  • Food delivery services
  • Manufacturing and production facilities

Problems Solved

The technology addresses several problems related to order management and fulfillment, including:

  • Lack of consideration for sustainability and environmental impact in order fulfillment processes.
  • Inefficient allocation of resources and nodes for order fulfillment.
  • Inaccurate estimation of carbon emissions and economic costs associated with order fulfillment.
  • Manual and time-consuming order placement processes.

Benefits

Implementing this technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved sustainability by optimizing order fulfillment to reduce carbon emissions.
  • Cost savings through efficient allocation of resources and nodes.
  • Enhanced accuracy in estimating carbon emissions and economic costs.
  • Streamlined and automated order placement processes for increased efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

In an approach to improve order management by performing sustainable order fulfillment optimization through computer analysis, embodiments receive an order from a user through the order management system for performing sustainable order fulfillment. Further, embodiments estimate carbon emissions and economic costs of fulfilling the order from a plurality of nodes, and output an optimal sustainable order fulfillment. Additionally, responsive to receiving confirmation to implement the output optimal sustainable order fulfillment, embodiments place the optimal sustainable order fulfillment for the received order.
