  • Publication number: 20220005091
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a product listing protection system (PLPS) and methods for the automated management of product details information on an online marketplace. The PLPS comprises a listing protection app executed on a processor of a computer system that provides the capability to obtain product detail information from multiple sources on a manual, near real-time, or scheduled basis and determine discrepancies when compared to a product master. The listing protection app can then either automatically take corrective actions to erroneous data, or notify the appropriate user that corrective action needs to be taken. The listing protection app begins by pulling available product data and product order data from marketplaces. Also described is an automated repricing component of the PLPS comprising a repricing app. The repricing app also begins by pulling available product data and product order data and comparing to levels in stock to automatically make repricing adjustments accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20200387662
    Abstract: A web site may be present on the World Wide Web, an Internet location, an intranet location, an extranet location, or some other form of network interface. A system for automated management of content on a network interface can automatically create applications and links to those applications without human intervention. Examples of automated applications include newsroom applications, calendar of events, employment opportunities, project portfolio, biographies, frequently asked questions, document library, category management, product catalogs, e-mail broadcasts, surveys, and newsletters. Fully normalized hierarchies of business rules and user profiles can be supported by the system to facilitate automation and configurability. Multiple content providers can manager a single web site in a simultaneous or substantially simultaneous manner. Multiple organizations can use the system to manage multiple web sites in a substantially simultaneous manner.
