Delivery management systems and methods for zero-inventory distribution
First Claim
1. A system for delivery management execution, the system comprising:
- at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to operate at least one user interface, wherein the at least one user interface includes a plurality of delivery management information views, including;
a delivery view operable to display manifest scheduling information, including delivery routing information displays;
an inspection view operable to display order verification information, including in the inspection view visual displays for capturing inspection information displayed responsive to identified delivery events; and
wherein the user interface further includes a lockout mode configured to limit access to at least the delivery routing information displays provided in the delivery view such that subsequent delivery information is inaccessible or obscured,wherein the user interface is configured to enter the lockout mode responsive to a determination that required information has not been submitted,wherein a displayed lockout view indicates a current lockout status and limits user access to the subsequent delivery routing information or obscures information associated with a delivery route, andwherein the user interface includes a display of an executable visualization for transitioning the user interface to an information entry view from the lockout view, wherein the information entry view is configured to accept submission of the required information to resolve the lockout status.

Abstract
Systems for delivery management are provided. According to one embodiment, the system includes a manifest component configured to aggregate a plurality of items into a manifest, an identifier component configured to identify respective items within the aggregated plurality of items using the manifest, a tracking component configured to calculate a delivery route and track the plurality of items during a plurality of delivery events, and an inspection component configured to require inspection of the respective items at each of the plurality of delivery events. The delivery systems can ensure quality and manage connections between distributors and manufacturers by incorporating required checks through each step of a delivery (e.g., pick up, freight aggregation, line shipping, local shipping, etc.). Inspections at delivery transitions can be required and include each time a good (e.g., an item) is moved on or off a delivery truck, and transitions between delivery areas within specific location.
