Abstract: A server system automatically extracts sets of purchase transaction related data values for target purchase-related field types from purchase transaction records. The server system automatically flags respective ones of the sets of purchase transaction related data values with one or more respective incomplete purchase transaction related data values for one or more of the target purchase-related field types, and stores the flagged sets of purchase transaction related data values and ones of the other sets of purchase transaction related data values determined to be complete in a data storage system. For each of respective ones of the flagged sets of purchase transaction related data values, the server system unobtrusively recovers missing purchase transaction related information from one or more side channels based on one or more query terms and one or more query result selection criteria determined at least in part from the extracted purchase transaction related data values.

Next, the system uses the set of data to display a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a chart of renewal opportunities with the set of customers, for the product, over an upcoming time interval. The system then displays, in the GUI, a representation of a churn risk level for each customer in the set of customers with a renewal opportunity in the chart.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a set of features for a customer of a product. Next, the system uses the set of features to identify a likelihood of purchasing the product through a first channel by the customer and estimate a first customer lifetime value (CLV) for the customer through the first channel and a second CLV for the customer through a second channel. The system then selects an acquisition channel for the customer from the first and second channels based on the likelihood and the first and second CLVs. Finally, the system outputs a recommendation of the selected acquisition channel for use in marketing the product to the customer.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system inputs a set of features for a customer of a product into a first statistical model, wherein the set of features comprises a company segment of the customer.
