Abstract

Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: determining a list of substitutes for an item; determining qualities for each substitute; determining a similarity score for each substitute; determining a historical substitution score for each substitute; determining a final score for each substitute using the similarity score for each substitute and the historical substitution score for each substitute; ranking each substitute based upon the final score for each substitute; facilitating a display, on a user interface of a user device, of a highest ranked substitute; receiving, from the user interface of the user device, a selection of the highest ranked substitute; and after receiving the selection of the highest ranked substitute, substituting the highest ranked substitute for the item of the list of items. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
