Abstract: A system for detects and manages recurring transactions incurred by members of a client organization. The system includes a computing server that is configured to classify named entities into a category of transacting named entities. For example, the computing server classifies a list of named entities that offer subscription services and hence, create recurring transactions with the client organization. The computing server receives transaction data and determines that a target transacting named entity extracted from the received data belongs to the category (e.g., there is a named entity in the received transaction data that has sold a service to the client organization more than once). The computing server may then determine the presence and frequency of a subscription transaction series in the received transaction data, and cause a predicted a timing of an upcoming transaction in the subscription transaction series to be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI).
