Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes displaying a plurality of fill group identifiers and a map on a user interface. Each fill group identifier represents a separate collection of products that are restocked as a group, and the map has a plurality of flags, each flag indicating the location of a product that needs to be restocked. A request is received through the user interface to set a restocking task for one of the fill groups. When the restocking task is completed, the user interface is updated so that the fill group identifier associated with the request is removed from the user interface and the flags for any products in the fill group associated with the request are removed from the map.
