Title: DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
Abstract:
A distribution system for transferring a plurality of items from a distribution center to a customer includes a delivery device (40) and a retail device (300). The delivery device (40) identifies the items and maintains a delivery record of a transfer of the items from the distribution center to the customer. The retail device identifies the items and maintains a receipt record of the transfer of the items. Upon identifying the item, the delivery device displays a description of the item on a display screen (46). The delivery device identifies the items with a barcode scanner. The delivery device also includes a data entry apparatus to enter customer information, such as an electronically captured signature, into the delivery record.
