Vertical network computing integration, analytics, and automation

This invention describes a system where a computer sends payment requests that include specific product details. A payment processing network receives this data, tracks inventory consumption based on the product identifiers, and can then automatically place new orders with suppliers. The core idea is to use payment transaction data for real-time inventory management and automated reordering.

Why it matters: In 2018, integrating detailed product identifiers into payment authorization messages and automatically triggering supplier orders from a payment network was technically challenging. Today, widespread API adoption and advanced supply chain integration platforms make this level of real-time data exchange and automation more feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware system, payment network integration.
