Abstract: A direct-to-consumer system for commerce is provided that connects qualified buyers to both sellers and lenders in a singular platform. The platform enables the ability to bid on auction items matched to a buyer's personal and financial criteria and participate in a competitive reverse-bidding platform while having access to real-time indications of how financial decisions affect a buyer's personal finances. Having a singular system that cuts out unnecessary third parties can save both parties time, money, and stress.

Abstract: Systems and methods herein provide a safety system for ingesting data from disparate, remote databases that include data associated with driver information. The systems normalize the data and decode the data to apply standard forms and formats. Data is then presented in one or more user interfaces having visual indicia indicating the status of the drivers. Further, the systems can monitor for changes to the data and provide alerts should the data change and the risk presented by the driver change.
