Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a computer-implemented system for managing inventory in a fulfillment center. The system may include a memory and at least one processor. The processor may be configured to execute instructions to determine a number of items available for picking, generate a replenishment request for the item based on a comparison of the number of available items to apredefined number of items, and transmit data related to the replenishment request and a first indication of an input that requests identification information; the processor is further used for receiving a first input that verifies the identifying information, transmitting data relating to an item identifier, receiving a second input that represents the item identifier, transmitting a second indication relating to a record requesting a record of the item identifier, and storing the first input, the second input, and the recorded information in a database associated with the computer-implemented system.
