Abstract
Shipments of ordered items may be optimized by minimizing geographic and time constraints, thereby improving efficiencies and reducing costs. Geographic locations of items included in an order may be considered when generating an optimal path for retrieving such items and for processing the order. Upon identifying the items included in an order, locations of an origin, a destination and each of the items may be determined by any means, such as through a photogrammetric analysis of one or more images, and an optimal path for picking each of the items may be determined based on the respective locations of each of the items. Additionally, orders for items for delivery to a common destination may be combined into a single shipment if the orders are received within a window of time, and if the items are sufficiently compatible with one another.
