Systems and methods are provided to ingest data objects from a flat file server for use in one or more system operations including providing a renderable data object to a user and updating a data item database. As described, the ingestion system includes an ingestion module, a flat file module, a compliance module, and a deduplication module wherein the modules together ingest a flat file data object, parse and process a renderable data object from the flat file data object, and store the renderable data object in a renderable object database.

Systems and methods are provided to ingest and integrate data objects for use in one or more system operations including providing a renderable data object to a user and updating a data item database.

Server for ingesting and rendering data objects

A method, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating the application of a ledger, or data structure in general, to programmatically identify duplicate data objects, such as those indicative of card-linked offers provided against a single transaction, and more specifically, to the utilization of a global ledger to identify stacking of card-linked offers. One example method includes receiving an indication of an interaction between two devices, generating distributed ledger data, the distributed ledger data indicative of a previous interaction between the primary device and an entity, causing transmission of the distributed ledger data to each of a plurality of nodes in a offerer network, after a predetermined amount of time, causing performance of a comparison within the distributed ledger data to determine that the entity and a second entity comprise corresponding data objects, applying a rule to generate an adjusted value.

Verification, validation, and updating (VVU) systems and methods for updating a data item database are described. The VVU system includes a user interface, a rendering module, and a verification module, which together present a data item to a user and update a data item database according to various factors described herein.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for improving network database functionalities are discussed therein, such as a computer-implemented method including generating, in a network database, a first dataset associated with a client account, wherein the first dataset indicates a restricted value; receiving, from a client device associated with the client account, a first data linking query to associate the first dataset with an instrument identifier; generating, in the network database, a dataset pointer mapping the first dataset with the instrument identifier, wherein the instrument identifier is associated with a physical instrument; receiving a transmission indication associated with the physical instrument, wherein the transmission indication indicates the instrument identifier and a partial amount associated with the first dataset; updating, in the network database, the first dataset based on the transmission indication; and outputting, to the client device, a transmission notification indicating the updated first dataset.
