    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system are described for ordering items within a zone of a physical location. An example method may include wirelessly receiving at a server via a computer network a unique identifier associated with a physical ordering device, the physical ordering device being remotely located from the server, retrieving, at the server from an information source, item information describing an item configured to be associated with the unique identifier of the physical ordering device, retrieving, at the server from the information source, shipping data including a physical location uniquely associated with the physical ordering device, and generating at the server a purchase request for re-ordering the item. The method may further include processing at the server the purchase request, and authorizing at the server shipment of the item to the physical location associated with the physical ordering device responsive to the processing of the purchase request.

    Abstract: Technology for selectively providing an invoice payment option in an e-commerce application is described. In an example embodiment, a method selectively determines to activate the invoice payment option for the business customer in a graphical user interface associated with the e-commerce application based on the status of the invoice account of the business customer and a determination that the one or more items in the virtual shopping cart are approved for the invoice payment option. The method generates the graphical user interface including the invoice payment option and the summary of the virtual shopping cart and provides providing the graphical user interface including the invoice payment option and the summary of the virtual shopping cart for presentation on the client device associated with the business account of the business customer.

    Abstract: A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular button of a set of interchangeable buttons communicatively coupled with the local hub, the local hub being communicatively coupled with a remote server. The local hub may transmit a signal including a button ID of the particular button to the remote server based on the particular button being activated and the local hub receiving the actuation signal from the particular button. In some implementations, the remote server may determine an item associated with the particular button and attributes of the item based on the button ID of the particular button and a mapping of button IDs to items in a database accessible by the remote server, and execute a defined action using the attributes of the item associated with the particular button.

    Abstract: A system and method for intelligent item reordering using an adaptable mobile graphical user interface is described herein. In some instances, the system may generate a graphical user interface including a first set of graphical elements representing a first set of items, and receive a first input selecting a particular item of the first set of items, the first set of graphical elements including a graphical element representing the particular item. The system may generate a graphical list of quantities and render the graphical list of quantities at a first position in the graphical user interface based on the graphical element representing the particular item in the graphical user interface. In some instances, the system may receive a second input identifying a selected quantity from the graphical list of quantities and modify the graphical element representing the particular item to indicate the selected quantity.

    Abstract: A restocking hub with interchangeable buttons mapped to item identifiers is described herein. In some instances, a local hub may receive an actuation signal from a particular interchangeable button communicatively coupled with the local hub. The actuation signal may include a button ID that identifies the particular interchangeable button and may indicating an actuation of the particular interchangeable button. The local hub may generate an order signal identifying the button ID based on the actuation signal, and may transmit the order signal instructing a remote server to perform a defined operation using the button ID. In some instances, the local hub may output a confirmation notification based on data received from the remote server based on the defined operation.
