Abstract: A cargo area within a delivery vehicle can include a storage area storing items for destinations along a route. A staging area may be accessible from inside and outside of the cargo area. A dispenser within the cargo area may provide item transfer from the storage area and to the staging area. For example, the dispenser may include a carriage for aligning an extendable and retractable arm operable to transfer an item hanging from a channel onto the arm and from the arm to the staging area. A controller may access route information about proximity to a delivery destination, access item information about an item assigned for that delivery destination, and cause the dispenser to move the assigned item from the storage area to the staging area for making the assigned item accessible from outside the cargo area in response to the proximity to the delivery destination.
