Abstract:
A benchmarking tool generates reports for delivery to a merchant illustrating a performance of the merchant as compared to the performance of the merchant's peers. The performance is illustrated through metrics that algorithmically combine data on transactions of consumers with the merchant or its peers, respectively. The metrics may be further subdivided into consumer groups such as new consumers, consumers that have shopped within the merchant in the past, consumers that no longer shop within the merchant, or consumers that use a commercial account to pay for purchases. The reports may be rendered in a graphical display for use by the merchant.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented automated method of generating a report of sales growth estimate from point of sale transaction settlement database includes selecting a subset of the point of sale transaction data that represents sales transactions for accounts in the transaction settlement database that are active during two consecutive reporting periods from the point of sale transaction settlement database. The selected subset of the point of sale transaction data is then analyzed based on a sorting category resulting in an estimate of sales growth rate over the reporting period.

Abstract:
A system for providing spending information in a locality by foreign visitors using transaction records of financial presentation devices such as credit and debit cards that are presentable to merchants is disclosed. A storage device stores transaction data generated from card transactions. A transaction analysis module executable by a processor generates a filtered set of transaction records that exclude, from the stored data, a set of transactions which are indicative of having been made by long term residents of the locality, rather than by residents of foreign regions, in order to improve the accuracy of true foreign visitors to the locality. For example, the system filters out from the database all transactions of accounts that have made a bill-pay transaction. As another example, the system filters out non face-to-face transactions and all transactions with mail order and catalog merchants, and schools. Based on the filtered data, the transaction analysis module generates a spending report containing an aggregated amount of the transactions for each foreign region of the holders who have performed the transactions in the locality.

Abstract:
A system, apparatus, computer readable media, and method are disclosed for generating analytics on customers of service provider merchants. In an example, a transaction record associated with an account identifier of a customer that purchased a first service from a first merchant may be processed and a service date for the first service may be determined. Other transaction records comprising the account identifier and that satisfy a temporal filter may be identified. Each of the other transaction records may include transaction data associated with at least one of: (1) purchase of another service to be provided within a first predetermined amount of time of the service date, and (2) purchase of a product within a second predetermined amount of time of the service date. A spending profile including information on the first service, the service date, and the transaction data for each of the other transaction records may be generated.
