Marketplaces bring together products from multiple providers and automatically manage orders that involve several suppliers. We document the use of Answer Set Programming to automatically choose products from various warehouses within a marketplace network to fulfill a specified order. The proposed solution seamlessly adapts to various objective functions utilized at different stages of order management, leading to cost savings for customers and simplifying logistics for both the marketplace and its suppliers.
