1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by a first computing device, a first communication indicating that a second computing device has begun to travel toward an order fulfillment location;
receiving, by the first computing device, information indicating an estimated time until arrival at the order fulfillment location by the second computing device;
providing, by the first computing device and in response to receiving the information indicating an estimated time until arrival, a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a first indication of the estimated time until arrival, wherein the first indication is a countdown timer;
receiving, by the first computing device, a second communication indicating that the second computing device has arrived at the order fulfillment location; and
updating, by the first computing device and in response to receiving the second communication, the first indication to a second indication that the second computing device has arrived at the fulfillment location, wherein the second indication is a count-up timer,
wherein the first indication continues to be presented in the GUI until the second communication is received at the first computing device regardless of whether the first indication reaches an end time.
