Image-Based Buying
Order an item and procure it based on an image. If the Image is available already in the cross catalog, recommendations would be provided based on similar images and patterns. Similar images could be detected by "normalizing" images first to increase the likelihood of finding similarities. Images could either be added into the shopping cart from a local laptop, or a dedicated image-based app could prepare a draft shopping cart and a Purchase Requisition eventually.
