  • Publication number: 20180075385
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system, method, or computer program product for creating a control dashboard for small business interaction. The application may be utilized by a small business and comprise three aggregation components from one or more extraction sources. As such, the invention may extract data and generate components for the dashboard that include information about the business utilization of entity products, third party products, and aggregation integration. Furthermore, the system may identify business underpenetrated customer populations, perform trend analysis to identify potential customers, and the like. Using this data, the system may generate marketing concepts for the business to target the underpenetrated customer populations. In addition, the system may monitor and provide recommendations for inventorying and invoicing. As such, the system may track trending data, past orders of the business, and the like to predict inventory requirements for the business.
