Abstract
A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform: generating a feasible dock-out plan designed to deliver one or more orders to one or more physical stores based on a feasible route plan by: generating a preliminary dock-out time boundary based on one or more delivery time windows; determining an earliest dock-out time based at least in part on the preliminary dock-out time boundary and a backward search; and determining a latest dock-out time based at least in part on the preliminary dock-out time boundary and a forward search; and transmitting a range of dock-out times comprising (i) the earliest dock-out time and (ii) the latest dock-out time to a user. Other embodiments are described.
