20120116916 | SHOPPING ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Shopping systems and methods that automate the merchandise selection process are implemented for producing picking/shipping documents that allow the merchandise to be picked at a warehouse and sent to recipients. The initiator of the process is a purchaser that specifies the recipients' demographics and other parameters as they relate to the merchandise. The purchaser may also specify various constraints that both limit the amount of merchandise selected and filter the merchandise to better match the recipients' requirements as a group. | 05-10-2012 |
