Zusammenfassung:A method for managing inventory includes detecting a shopping list on a communication device, transmitting the detected list to a server associated with the shopping store, transmitting images to the server, checking whether at least one item of the shopping list is present in an aisle based on a location of a consumer, scanning the images to identify images including the at least one item, and dynamically sorting the items in the shopping list based on the checking performed. The method also includes displaying the sorted list along with image links on the communication device, where at least one item in the sorted list is highlighted or placed on top based on the check performed, and where each of the image links includes an image with at least one augmented item. The method further includes determining items that need to be restocked in the shopping store.
