    摘要: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for the maintenance of a virtual credit card pool for airline passenger vouchers. An example system includes server(s) that are configured to determine a target distribution of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool for a current date-and-time. The server(s) are configured to, in response to determining that the current date-and-time corresponds with a predefined restocking time, for each card value: identify a current number of virtual credit cards within the virtual card pool; identify a threshold number of virtual credit cards based on the target distribution; compare the current and threshold numbers; in response to determining that the current number is less than the threshold number, transmit a request for virtual credit cards having the card value to an external server; and add the requested virtual credit cards to the virtual card pool upon receipt.

    摘要: Techniques and arrangements for performing data analysis in order to generate connections between merchants. For instance, a payment service may determine, based at least in part on transaction information, that a first customer conducted a first transaction at a first merchant followed a subsequent transaction at a second merchant. The payment service may further determine that a second customer conducted a second transaction at the first merchant followed by a subsequent transaction at a third merchant, Based on transaction information associated with the first transaction and the second transaction, the payment service may create a buyer profile including the first customer and second customer. Upon the payment service receiving a request to process a third transaction between the first merchant and the second customer, the payment service can generate a recommendation that the second customer conduct a subsequent transaction to the third transaction at the second merchant rather than the third merchant. The payment service can then send a electronic communication that includes the recommendation to the first merchant or the second customer.

    摘要: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for adjusting the costs of assets. A method includes receiving consumption data via a first channel of a plurality of channels. The consumption data indicates an amount of consumption of an asset. The method also includes determining whether one or more predetermined thresholds are satisfied based on the consumption data. The method further includes adjusting a cost of the asset in response to determining that the consumption data satisfies the one or more predetermined thresholds. The method further includes publishing, by a computer processing device, one or more messages indicating an adjusted cost of the asset to one or more client devices via a second channel of the plurality of channels.

    摘要: This disclosure describes techniques for analyzing flights and identifying opportunities to provide flights to passengers that might not otherwise be made available. Benefits of these systems and methods may include filling more seats in aircraft that would otherwise go unfilled providing more flight opportunities to passengers as well as increasing opportunities to sell more flights for operators of the aircraft. For example, a charter operator might increase revenue through marketing automation and increased marketing reach they could otherwise not access themselves. Additionally, the system may provide tools for marketing and monetizing an operator's unused aircraft capacity. Additionally, the system may provide tools to move aircraft to areas where a demand will be, for example, by generating and selling flights that move the aircraft in that direction over the time leading up to the demand.
