1. A logistics system for routing and tracking bags, the logistics system comprising:

  • a customer interface receiving, from a customer device running a first instance of an application, instructions to initiate a first set of operations, wherein;

    a first function in the first set of operations is selecting a first set of items of a plurality of items, to populate a first bag, wherein the plurality of items are stored in a storage container at an origin location;

    a second function in the first set of operations is selecting a first location to route the first bag from the origin location;

    a third function in the first set of operations is selecting a processing option for each item in the first set of items of the plurality of items;

    a fourth function in the first set of operations is selecting a second set of items from the plurality of items to populate a second bag, wherein the second set of items from the plurality of items includes one or more items from the first set of items of the plurality of items; and

    a fifth function in the first set of operations is selecting a second location to route the second bag from the origin location; and

    a logistic-system server receiving, from a first device running a second instance of the application, instructions to initiate a second set of operations, wherein;

    a first function in the second set of operations includes sending a first trigger to a logistics engine to populate the first bag with the first set of items of the plurality of items;

    a second function in the second set of operations includes routing the first bag to the first location;

    a third function in the second set of operations includes a first tracking of the first bag to the first location;

    a fourth function in the second set of operations includes transmitting the first tracking information to the logistics engine;

    a fifth function in the second set of operations includes transmitting a first message to the logistics engine that the first bag is at the first location;

    a sixth function in the second set of operations includes routing the first bag from the first location to the origin location;

    a seventh function in the second set of operations includes a second tracking of the first bag to the origin location;

    an eighth function in the second set of operations includes transmitting the second tracking information to the logistics engine;

    a ninth function in the second set of operations includes transmitting a second message to the logistics engine that the first bag is at the origin location;

    a tenth function in the second set of operations includes sending a second trigger to the logistics engine to begin the processing option for each item in the first set of items of the plurality of items to the logistics engine;

    an eleventh function in the second set of operations includes sending a third trigger to the logistics engine to populate the second bag with the second set of items of the plurality of items; and

    a twelfth function in the second set of operation includes routing the second bag to the second location; and

    the logistic engine receiving, from a second device, located at the origin location, running a third instance of the application, instructions to initiate a third set of operations, wherein;

    a first function of the third set of operations includes receiving the first trigger to populate the first bag with the first set of items of the plurality of items;

    a second function of the third set of operations includes initiating a first process to populate the first bag with the first set of items of the plurality of items;

    a third function of the third set of operations includes receiving the first tracking information;

    a fourth function of the third set of operations includes triggering a first notification to display the first tracking information on the customer device;

    a fifth function of the third set of operations includes receiving the first message that the first bag is at the first location;

    a sixth function of the third set of operations includes triggering a second notification to display that the first bag is at the first location, on the customer device;

    a seventh function of the third set of operations includes receiving the second tracking information;

    an eighth function of the third set of operations includes triggering a third notification to display the second tracking information on the customer device;

    a ninth function of the third set of operations includes receiving the second message that the first bag is at the origin location;

    a tenth function of the third set of operations includes receiving the second trigger to apply the process option to each item of the first set of items of the plurality of items;

    an eleventh function of the third set of operations includes initiating a second process to return each item of the first set of items of the plurality of items to the storage container;

    a twelfth function of the third set of operations includes initiating a third process to prepare the first bag for future use; and

    a thirteenth function of the third set of operations includes receiving the third trigger to populate the second bag with the second set of items of the plurality of items.
