Abstract:

A system and method for managing access to a plurality of carts. A plurality of users may be created in a database, each user having unique identifying information. Users may be grouped into user groups when having similar attributes. Each cart may have an entry in the database with associated attributes. Carts may be grouped into cart groups for carts having similar attributes. Users may be given access to cart either individually, through a user group that has access to the cart, by given access to an entire group of carts, or through a user group that has access to an entire group of carts. The various associations can be interwoven to provide groups and sub-groups for managing applications where multiple users must interact with multiple carts. The carts can store access logs which may be communicated in real time to a computing device or may be stored locally at the cart for later access by an administrator.
