Systems and Methods for Computer Memory Optimization for the Storage of Delivery Time Information for a Product Sold Online

In e-commerce, web content (such as a checkout page) may include delivery time information associated with a product. To obtain the delivery time information, the computer may send an application programming interface (API) request to the fulfillment network. However, a fulfillment network is often delayed in responding to an API request. Also, there may be data privacy concerns with this approach. Alternatively, precomputed delivery time information may be sent from the fulfillment network, but this may result in a large amount of data that must be stored. In some embodiments, a data structure may be generated that includes a product-to-schedule mapping and a set of delivery schedule tables. Each of the delivery schedule tables may be based on a respective different set of one or more categories to which multiple ones of a plurality of products map. Computer memory resources may be saved.
