  • Publication number: 20220164098
    Abstract: Techniques for providing merchant slot availability management using graphical user interfaces for mobile devices are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a mobile device with processing circuitry configured to generate a multi-level graphical user interface (mGUI), and provide the mGUI to a touch screen display of the mobile device. The processing circuitry may be further configured to monitor a touch screen for various predefined user inputs for traversing tiered levels, and updating the mGUI. The mGUI may be used to implement interfaces various mobile device interfaces used for organizing hierarchal or structured data. For example, the mGUI may be used to implement a merchant slot management interface that allows merchants to dynamically adjust slot availability and associated properties, manage slots such as by creating tabs, or generate promotions for available slots.

  • Publication number: 20210192468
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for scheduling services and other types of appointments in conjunction with purchasing and/or redeeming deal offers. Merchants may customize a scheduling system to provide scheduling capabilities and deal redemption capabilities to consumers interested in scheduling appointments. A consumer may use the scheduling system to select dates and times, merchant locations, and/or staff members, among other things, when scheduling appointments, and provide deal and/or other payment related information to the merchant. Merchants may use the scheduling system and consumer date received therefrom to track resources across numerous locations, keep apprised of their staffs' availability, receive/generate analytics data related to the affect deals have on their business, and gain a better understanding of their customers. The scheduling system may be integrated into the merchant's website and/or linked to deals offered by a third party promotional system.

  • Publication number: 20190370822
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for cloud-based industrial equipment acquisition are provided. A query having a list of industrial equipment is received. Fraud analysis is performed on the query to determine whether the query is valid. When valid, at least two results are received for the query from vendors of the industrial equipment. Each result includes one or more pieces of industrial equipment. The results are reviewed by comparing the industrial equipment listed in each the results with the list of industrial equipment provided in the query and identifying any pieces of the industrial equipment that are missing from each of the results. At least one of the vendors is notified that at least one piece of industrial equipment is missing from the result associated with that vendor. A revision of the result associated with the vendor is received and delivered to the user in response to the query.
