  • Patent number: 12354039
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting, classifying, and managing impediments are disclosed. For example, embodiments may be related to impediments in project management. The proposed systems and methods are configured to evaluate data harvested from multiple different sources (in different formats), identify potential impediments that may be described or present in the data, and classify said impediments based on whether the impediment is non-technical or technical. In addition, the proposed systems implement a technical solution of active learning combined with reinforcement learning to produce a feedback loop that, over each iteration, improves the accuracy of the impediment classification. The impediment management assistant is configured to identify impediments from various inputs sources across industries with an AI-based self-learning capability, providing a robust and accurate model even with only a limited training dataset.

  • Patent number: 12354041
    Abstract: A method and system to generate a stage overview which is comprised of stages corresponding to buckets containing information records grouped based on a predefined criteria. The stages of the stage overview can be designed based on various criteria, e.g., deal/record value, calendar period, sales funnel stages, and the stages are formed as configured by the user. The stage overview provides an overall visualization of the number of deals or records and cumulative amount in each bucket. The stage overview enables the user to navigate from one bucket to any other stage or a bucket, easily and quickly. The buckets are created and maintained according to the stages and vice versa. A bucket is a collection of information records, deals, or the like. Records that fall under the same stage can be grouped and listed out together under one bucket.

  • Patent number: 12299616
    Abstract: A worksite controller can manage machines, including a first machine configured to perform a first task and a second machine configured to perform a second task that follows the first task. The worksite controller can predict a time that the first machine will complete the first task at a work area. The worksite controller can also predict a time the second machine would arrive at the work area to perform the second task. Based on a comparison of the time the second machine would arrive at the work area and the predicted first task completion time, the worksite controller can instruct the second machine to enter or exit a low-power state. For example, if the second machine would arrive at the work area earlier than the predicted first task completion time, the worksite controller can instruct the second machine to avoid idling while waiting by entering the low-power state.

  • Patent number: 12254519
    Abstract: A specialized service engine receives data from an entity located in one domain about transactions performed by the entity with other entities from another domain. The service engine determines if the entity must follow the rules regarding selected resources in the other domain. The service engine then determines which of the rules established by the other domain the entity must follow. The service engine then determines and communicates to another computer of the entity the burden of complying with the rules of the other domain. The service engine then further computes the cost of the burden, and communicates the computed cost to the other computer.

  • Patent number: 12248952
    Abstract: Multidimensional data analysis applications, including OLAP applications, simultaneously aggregate across many sets of dimensions. However, computing multidimensional aggregates is a performance bottleneck for OLAP data analysis applications. In order to improve the speed of interactive analysis, OLAP databases often precompute aggregates at various levels of detail and on various combinations of data attributes. However, the cost and speed of precomputation influences how frequently the aggregates can be brought up-to-date. Systems and methods disclosed herein provide graph based multidimensional analysis processing without pre-aggregating or precomputing the data along dimensional hierarchies, and by providing the results to the end user on-demand. Since preaggregation or precomputation of data along dimensional hierarchies is not necessary, implementations allow the end user to perform data analysis as soon as the data is available.

  • Patent number: 12190274
    Abstract: A system for performing real time data analytics in a supply chain environment. The system receives data file from a user. The system then identifies a plurality of data definitions present in the data file upon analysing the software system installed on the user's machine. Further, the system compares the plurality of data definitions with a master definitions based on the metadata corresponding to the software system and a trained data definition model. Subsequently, the system transforms the plurality of data definitions into the master definitions using a set of data transformation techniques. A transformed data file based on the transformation of the plurality of data definitions is created. Finally, the system links the transformed data file with the master data in real time to remotely access the transformed data file in real time for performing data analytics in a supply chain environment.

    Abstract: Write back to customer relationship management systems is provided. Data logging of activities can be performed for sales professionals that use other third-party software solutions during their selling process. The logged data can be written back to the CRM system instead of needing input by the sales professionals. Certain data and generated insights can be written back to further enhance the data available to clients' sales organizations. Capability of writing back to target CRM systems can leverage existing APIs. Identification of data to be written back to the CRM systems is performed by an intelligent write back (IWB) system. The IWB system will write back to the standard objects in tenant CRMs. The IWB system can create custom fields within those objects for write back data.
