Systems and methods for generating graphical user interfaces for adaptive delivery scheduling

Abstract

A computerized system for delivery scheduling. The system may include a processor and a non transitory storage medium comprising instructions. When executed by the at least one processor, the instructions may cause the at least one processor to perform steps. The steps may include receiving (from a remote system) an electronic request to order a product, determining information associated with the remote system and a fulfillment center associated with the information and the product, generating an electronic message, and forwarding (to the fulfillment center) the electronic message and instructions to generate a graphical user interface displaying request with the product and the delivery wave estimate.
