Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating a sort zone assignment plan for packages expected to arrive at a facility during a predetermined period of time. Prior to arrival of the packages at the facility, a sort zone assignment plan is generated that optimizes distribution of the plurality of packages to a plurality of sort zones within the facility for a given sorting cycle. Once a package arrives at the facility, the package is scanned and the sort zone assignment is determined according to the sort zone assignment plan. The package is then transferred to the assigned sort zone.

Abstract: Techniques for efficiently managing resources are described. In an example, a computer system may access a forecast for demand associated with utilizing a service during a time period, where the service is available from service sources grouped in clusters. The computer system may identify resources scheduled to facilitate the service. Based on a scheduled start time for utilizing a resource, the forecast, and an allocation of remaining resources to the clusters, the computer system may allocate the resource to a first cluster and may provide a notification about the allocation to an associated client device. At a subsequent time during the time period, the computer system may re-allocate the resource to a second cluster based on a current utilization of the resource, an update to the forecast, and the allocation of the remaining resources. A respective notification may be provided to the client device.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods directed to determining a topology for the efficient allocation and distribution of a service to customers that are distributed over a geographic area. For example, the topology can facilitate the planning, scheduling, and allocation of resources for the efficient provisioning of services to customers at locations distributed over the geographic area. Certain input parameters and/or constraints associated with the provisioning of the service may be processed to define a cost function that may represent a total cost of providing the service while ensuring that none of the constraints are exceeded. The cost function may be optimized to determine a lowest relative cost for providing the services to the customers using the various mechanisms and/or types of resources, and a topology associated with the optimized cost function can be generated to specify how the service should be provided to satisfy the demand.
