Abstract: An online concierge identifies orders to shoppers, allowing shoppers to select orders for fulfillment. The online concierge system may generate batches that include multiple orders, allowing a shopper to select a batch to fulfill multiple orders. As orders are continuously being received, delaying identification of orders to shoppers may allow greater batching of orders. To allow greater opportunities for batching, the online concierge system estimates a benefit for delaying identification of an order by different time intervals and predicts an amount of time to fulfill the order. The online concierge system then delays assigning orders for which there is a threshold benefit for delaying and selects a time interval for delaying identification of the order that does not result in greater than a threshold likelihood of a late fulfillment of the order.

Abstract: An online shopping concierge system identifies a set of delivery orders and a set of delivery agents associated with a location. The system allocates the orders among the agents, each agent being allocated at least one order. The system obtains agent progress data describing travel progress of the agents to the location, and order preparation progress data describing progress of preparing the orders for delivery. The system periodically updates the allocation of the orders among the agents based on the agent progress data and the order preparation progress data. This involves re-allocating at least one order to a different delivery agent. When a first agent arrives at the location, the system assigns to the first agent the orders allocated to the first agent. The system then removes the first agent from the set of available delivery agents, and removes the assigned delivery orders from the set of delivery orders.

Abstract: A grid is created for a map of a geographic region based on a location planning request received from a user device. A plurality of candidate cells are identified from among a plurality of cells of the grid. Each of the candidate cells including a candidate location for a warehouse. Respective isochrones are generated relative to the candidate locations of the plurality of candidate cells based on a delivery time threshold indicated in the location planning request. Respective isochrone scores are determined for the generated isochrones based at least on data indicating a past volume of sales in the isochrone. Based on the respective isochrone scores of the candidate locations, a subset of the candidate locations is selected as a recommended set of locations for warehouses to cover the geographic region. A notification indicating the recommended set of locations is transmitted to the user device.

Abstract: An online concierge shopping system fulfills orders using workers who pick items at a warehouse to complete an order and workers to deliver the orders to a customer's location. To optimize the staffing of workers for each task, the system uses a trained model to predict the number of workers needed to achieve an optimal outcome based on an input set of contextual information. The system also schedules specific workers to various shifts using the predicted number of workers needed and then searching a feasibility space for an optimal solution. The trained model may be updated based on performance observations.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives orders from users and assigns orders to shoppers for fulfillment. Each order specifies a destination location and a warehouse from which items in the order are obtained. When assigning orders to shoppers, the online concierge system seeks to minimize distances traveled by shoppers fulfilling orders. To more efficiently assign orders to shoppers, the online concierge system trains a distance prediction model to predict a distance traveled between a starting location and a destination location from the starting location, the destination location, and a Haversine distance between the destination location and the starting location. Information identifying distances traveled by shoppers when fulfilling previous orders or information about distances between locations from a third party system may be used to train the distance prediction model.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to order items within discrete time intervals later than a time when an order was received. The online concierge system allocates a specified percentage of an estimated number of shoppers during a discrete time interval to fulfilling orders received before the discrete time interval. An order may include a flag authorizing flexible fulfillment of the order along with a discrete time interval, which allows the order to be fulfilled earlier than the identified discrete time interval. The online concierge system generates groups of multiple orders authorizing flexible fulfillment and determines a cost for fulfilling different groups of orders. The online concierge system identifies a group of orders authorizing flexible fulfillment having a minimum cost for fulfillment by a shopper, allowing for more allocation of shoppers by enabling grouping of orders identifying different discrete time intervals.

Abstract: The online concierge system generates task units based on orders and assigns batches of task units to pickers. The online concierge system generates task units based on received orders. The online concierge system generates permutations of these task units to generate candidate sets of task batches. The online concierge system scores each of these candidate sets, and selects a set of task batches to assign to pickers based on the scores. Additionally, to determine which task UI to display to the picker, the picker client device uses a UI state machine. The UI state machine is a state machine where each state corresponds to a task UI to display on the picker client device. The state transitions between the UI states of the UI state machine indicate which UI state to transition to from a current UI state based on the next task unit in the received task batch.

Abstract: An online system accesses a machine learning model trained to predict behaviors of users of the online system, in which the model is trained based on historical data received by the online system that is associated with the users and demand and supply sides associated with the online system. The online system identifies a treatment for achieving a goal of the online system and simulates application of the treatment on the demand and supply sides based on the historical data and a set of behaviors predicted for the users. Application of the treatment is simulated by replaying the historical data in association with application of the treatment and applying the model to predict the set of behaviors while replaying the data. The online system measures an effect of application of the treatment on the demand and supply sides based on the simulation, in which the effect is associated with the goal.
