  • Patent number: 9449328
    Abstract: A system for transforming customer data includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface communicates a request for customer data associated with a particular geographical area. It also receives a customer profile code associated with the customer data, wherein the customer profile code comprises a first code segment and a second code segment. It further receives first and second rules associated with the customer profile code. The processor transforms the first and second code segments into customer data using the rules. It further analyzes the particular geographical area using the customer data.

  • Patent number: 9443103
    Abstract: A system for transforming customer data includes a network interface and a processor. The network interface communicates a request for customer data associated with a determined set of customers. It also receives a customer profile code associated with the customer data, wherein the customer profile code comprises a first code segment and a second code segment. It further receives first and second rules associated with the customer profile code. The processor determines the set of customers, transforms the first and second code segments into customer data using the rules, and analyzes the customer data to determine an operations history for the set of customers.

  • Patent number: 9384366
    Abstract: A system for encoding customer data includes a memory, a decision engine, a rules engine and an interface engine. The memory stores customer data associated with service levels and rules. The decision engine receives a request for customer data from a third party, determines that the third party is associated with a first service level, and retrieves the customer data associated with the first service level. The rules engine transforms customer data into first and second code segments by applying the rules. The rules engine combines at least the first code segment and the second code segment to form a customer profile code. An interface engine communicates the customer profile code to the third party.

  • Publication number: 20140074675
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for managing digital receipts. The system includes a computer apparatus including a processor and a memory; and a digital receipt management software module stored in the memory. The software module includes executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive a transaction record including information relating to a transaction. The system then determines a user account associated with the transaction record based on the information; associates the transaction record with a transaction in the user account; and creates a digital receipt based on the transaction record and the account history. The digital receipt is stored in association with the transaction in a digital receipt mailbox and provided to the user when the user accesses the transaction. Special offers, supplemental information, and recommendations may also be provided in the digital receipt.
