Systems and methods for managing scent in an environment include receiving data from sensors disposed in an environment regarding an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment and identifying remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the remote computer. Based on the indication, an electronic data structure is created defining a physical operational state of the scent diffusion devices, including data specifying at least one of a production of a scent that is intended to be a complement to the service, a fan speed of a fan in the diffusion device that moves particles carrying a scent, and a voltage of a pump of the diffusion device. The diffusion devices are caused to implement the at least one defined operational state.

1. A method relating to atomizing scent diffusion devices within an environment, comprising: receiving, at a computer, data from one or more sensors disposed in an environment, wherein the data provides an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment;identifying a plurality of rem
1. A method relating to atomizing scent diffusion devices within an environment, comprising: receiving, at a computer, data from one or more sensors disposed in an environment, wherein the data provides an indication that a service is being delivered in the environment;identifying a plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the remote computer;based on the indication, creating, via the remote computer, an electronic data structure defining at least one physical operational state of the remote atomizing scent diffusion devices, wherein the electronic data structure includes data specifying at least one of a production of a scent that is intended to be a complement to the service, a fan speed of a fan in the diffusion device that moves particles carrying a scent, and a voltage of a pump of the diffusion device;accessing logistical data comprising at least one of transportation map data and a route optimization data to produce part of the service for at least one atomizing scent diffusion device; andcausing the remote atomizing scent diffusion devices to implement the at least one defined operational state. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein causing the remote atomizing scent diffusion devices to implement the at least one defined operational state includes at least one of scheduling and coordination of resources. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein implementing the at least one defined operational state comprises performing a days of supply calculation. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the calculation involves taking a measured current liquid level and dividing it by the average usage rate per day to determine a number of days of supply remaining. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the average usage rate per day is defined for a time period. 6. The method of claim 2, wherein the scheduling and coordination of resources includes the dispatch of a replenishment technician. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the scheduling and coordination of resources includes the transmission of an alert/email to on-site personnel. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the service is at least one of a lighting service, a music service, a fountain activation, a display of an item, a food service, a beverage service and arrival of one or more people. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising, monitoring a traffic sensor in the environment to determine a number of scent impressions delivered by a network of atomizing scent diffusion devices, and transmitting the number to the remote computer. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the number enables a third party to perform a brand management task. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein when the complement to the service being delivered in the environment is to have an unscented environment, the at least one defined operational state specifies one or more of no production of scent, the ceasing of scent diffusion, or the diffusion of an odor neutralizing agent. 12. A method relating to atomizing scent diffusion devices within an environment, comprising: providing a scheduling facility to indicate when a service is scheduled to occur in an environment;selecting a scent to be diffused in the environment that complements the scheduled service;determining a plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices disposed in the environment, wherein each scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer;accessing logistical data comprising at least one of transportation map data and a route optimization data to produce part of the service for at least one atomizing scent diffusion device; andtriggering one or more of the plurality of remote atomizing scent diffusion devices to diffuse the selected scent in accordance with the scheduled service. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising, after triggering, launching a survey to be given to participants of the scheduled service, wherein the survey is used to calculate a metric for a brand impression. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the scheduled service is at least one of a lighting service, a music service, a fountain activation, a display of an item, a food service, a beverage service and arrival of one or more people. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising, monitoring a traffic sensor in the environment to determine a number of scent impressions delivered by the atomizing scent diffusion devices, and transmitting the number to the remote computer. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the number enables a third party to perform a brand management task.
