Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the maintenance of a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers. An example system includes server(s) that are configured to determine a target distribution of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool for a current date-and-time. The server(s) are configured to, in response to determining that the current date-and-time corresponds with a predefined restocking time, for each card value: identify a current number of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool; identify a threshold number of virtual credit cards based on the target distribution; compare the current and threshold numbers; in response to determining that the current number is less than the threshold number, transmit a request for virtual credit cards having the card value to an external server; and add the requested virtual credit cards to the virtual card pool upon receipt.

A component supply processing server may obtain component purchase data for different components from different component suppliers, and obtain purchase settlement data between retailers and manufacturers, each manufacturer selling a product to the retailers, and each product including at least one of the different components. A learning algorithm may determine a predicted shortage of a given component by associating the manufacturers with a given component based upon the corresponding product, and accepting the component purchase data to determine component purchase patterns for each of the different components. The algorithm may determine the predicted shortage by the purchase settlement data to determine product purchase patterns for the products, and correlate the component and product purchase patterns to determine the predicted shortage. The server may generate a digital promotion for a given product based upon the component determined to have the predicted shortage, and communicate the digital promotion to a shopper device.

Certain aspects involve systems and methods for providing display content using RFID tags in geo-fenced zones. One example method includes processing devices that perform operations that include scanning radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags in a geo-fenced zone. The RFID tags correspond to a plurality of items. Further, the operations include retrieving a marketing campaign associated with the plurality of items. The marketing campaign comprises rules based on inventory information. In addition, the operations include determining the inventory information for the plurality of items based on the RFID tags. The operations further include selecting an item from among the plurality of items based on a rule associated with the marketing campaign. The rule is based on the inventory information. Additionally, the operations include generating display content based on the item.

Features are disclosed for providing items from an item store to an item store consumer. An item store organizer can request an item store from an item redemption system based on item store parameters. The item store organizer can receive a single use token from the item redemption system to provide initial access to the item store. The item redemption system can validate the item store consumer based on the single use token. The item redemption system can further validate redemption requests from the item store consumer based on the item store parameters. The item redemption system can fulfill the redemption request based on payment information of the item store organizer and shipping information of the item store consumer. The item redemption system can transmit redemption information to the item store organizer based on fulfilling the redemption request.

A media management system that generates a plurality of values associated with a promotion impact measure for each of the promotional campaigns based on historical data that is acquired and an expected audience. Inventory unit needs are determined for each of the promotional campaigns that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization of a plurality of inventory utilization types, based on at least the generated plurality of values. The determined inventory units for each of the promotional campaigns are utilized to dynamically allocate inventory from a defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization types to meet a plurality of defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until an end of the upcoming time-frame.

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods and computer program products related to a digital portal configured to provide location triggered interactive electronic interfaces. One aspect includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to a third-party user device to provide a digital portal via a first interactive electronic interface configured to allow creation of promotion data. In response to determining that at least one real-time GPS location for at least one consumer device is within a certain distance of a defined geographical location, another aspect includes transmitting an electronic communication to the at least one consumer device to render a second interactive electronic interface related to the promotion data. In response to an electronic interface action being performed with respect to an interactive graphic icon of the second interactive electronic interface, consumer order data for purchase of an item related to the promotion data is received.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with generating a price schedule are described. In one embodiment, for each customer segment of a plurality of customer segments, a per-segment value of an approximate objective function for the customer segment is determined by an optimizer, and a ratio of the per-segment value to a sum of all per-segment values for the customer segments is computed. The inventory quantity is allocated amongst the customer segments according to the ratio for each customer segment to form an inventory quantity for each customer segment. For each customer segment, a promotion portion of the price schedule that maximizes the objective function by the optimizer is determined. A quantity of remaining inventory allocated to the plurality of customer segments at an end of the regular season is aggregated. A markdown portion of the price schedule for the item that maximizes the objective function is determined by the optimizer. The promotion portion and the markdown portion are combined to create the price schedule for the item.

A media management system that generates expected audience of a promo schedule for each promotional campaign planned for an upcoming time-frame, acquires historical data for the promotional campaigns for the time-frame, and generates a plurality of values associated with a promotion impact measure for each of the promotional campaigns based on the acquired historical data and the expected audience. Inventory unit needs are determined for each of the promotional campaigns that corresponds to a promotion inventory utilization of a plurality of inventory utilization types, based on at least the generated plurality of values. The determined inventory units for each of the promotional campaigns are utilized to dynamically allocate inventory from a defined amount of inventory units among each inventory utilization types to meet a plurality of defined parameters for the defined amount of inventory units for one or more specified durations until an end of the upcoming time-frame.
