Fuente: WIPO "tomato" Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system and method for order batching. An example method includes receiving a plurality of orders for delivery to a plurality of destinations; generating permutations of the orders corresponding to different sequences of the destinations; estimating, for the permutations, one or more of a total delivery time, a total promise time miss, and a total hold time miss; generating batch scores for the permutations based on the respective total delivery time, total promise time miss, and total hold time miss; generating a permutation ranking based on the batch scores; determining a top-ranked permutation; assigning orders in the top-ranked permutation to one of a plurality of delivery persons; initiating preparation of the orders in response to determining that an estimated arrival interval of the delivery person is within an estimated preparation interval; and dispatching delivery of the orders to the delivery person.
