Abstract
Arrangements for providing multi-channel tracking and control are provided. In some examples, a request for a quantity of product may be received. The request may be processed and the order transmitted to a destination. During shipping, tracking of the order may be performed to determine whether an order has arrived at a destination. In some examples, quality data may be captured at the destination to determine whether a portion of the order was damaged or destroyed during shipping. In some arrangements, upon detecting delivery of the order the system may generate one or more instructions to update an inventory of the requesting entity based on delivery of the order. In some examples, machine learning may be used to predict when an entity may submit a subsequent request for product, a recommended amount of product, and the like. This information may be transmitted to a requesting entity to simplify future processing requests.
