Interface for item acquisition

Abstract:

Systems and methods are described for providing an item acquisition modeling service. An item acquisition modeling service may determine the expected amount of time required to acquire a set of items from a distribution center. The item acquisition modeling service may estimate travel times and acquisition times for individual items in the set, using a machine learning model that is trained on previous acquisitions of items, and may aggregate individual item estimates to generate a time estimate for the set of items. The item acquisition modeling service may generate and display user interfaces that indicate the elapsed time and remaining time relative to the estimated time, and may indicate whether items are being acquired more quickly or more slowly than the estimate. The item acquisition modeling service may further display target or goal acquisition times, and may indicate whether items are being acquired at a rate that achieves the goal.
