Amazon takes buying process to next level
Amazon Takes Buying Process To Next Level
WASHINGTON: Taking the buying process to the next level, Amazon has filed a patent for shipping products based on prediction of what the buyers would purchase even before they have bought it.
Amazon had filed a patent in August 2012, describing the method of " anticipatory shipping" and was granted the solo right on December 24 last year.
The idea is to minimize human involvement and automatically determine the requirements of customers and ship the product in the general direction even before buyers have placed their orders, TechCrunch reported
The Amazon delivery patent intends to route the supposedly buyable products to a select address or a certain geographical area using historical buying patterns of buyers or preferences expressed via surveys/questionnaires, buyers' habits and more.
