Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for use in financial forecast systems, where historical financial data is analyzed for purposes of providing projected financial statements. An exemplary apparatus is configured to receive financial data, from a predetermined period of time in the past that is associated with a business entity requesting to receive projected financial statements, analyze the financial data from the predetermined period of time in the past, and determine based on the analysis a financial forecast for the entity for a predetermined period of time in the future, and provide one or more projected financial statements for the predetermined time period in the future based at least partially on the financial forecast of the entity.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for aggregating company information includes receiving a request from a user to obtain information associated with a company, aggregating, by one or more processing devices, the information associated with the company from a plurality of websites in real time without caching any data associated with the information. The information includes a news story associated with the company. The method further includes analyzing, by the one or more processing devices, the information by performing a plurality of calculations using the information. The plurality of calculations include a plurality of financial ratios. The method further includes categorizing, by the one or more processing devices, the news story associated with the company into one or more of a plurality of news categories, creating a profile associated with the company based on the information, and communicating the profile associated with the company to the user.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes accessing, for each of a plurality of potential vendors, vendor data corresponding to one or more operational efficiency criteria and vendor data corresponding one or more market viability criteria. The method further includes determining, for each of a plurality of potential vendors, (1) an operational efficiency score accounting for criteria-specific scores determined based on the accessed vendor data for each of the one or more operational efficiency criteria, and (2) a market viability score accounting for criteria-specific scores determined based on the accessed vendor data for each of the one or more market viability criteria. The method further includes generating a graphical display depicting each of the plurality of potential vendors, wherein each of the plurality of vendors is positioned relative to a first axis according to the determined operational efficiency score and a second axis according to the determined market viability score.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and media for providing a supply chain link performance change indicator. The apparatus may include, and the methods and media may involve a processor module, a receiver module and an output device. The processor module may provide to a user a vector selection control. The receiver module may receive financial data corresponding to the supply chain link. The financial data may include a plurality of vectors. The receiver may receive via the vector selection control a first vector identifier corresponding to a first vector in the plurality of vectors and a second vector identifier corresponding to a second vector in the plurality of vectors. The output device may provide to the user a first supply chain link performance change indicator corresponding to the first vector and a second supply chain link performance change indicator corresponding to the second vector.
