A method identifies a plurality of product categories by applying a categorization model to product data that includes product names and product descriptions. The product data is obtained from internal sources and external sources. The method creates a knowledge graph for a plurality of business entities from inputs that include the plurality of product categories, published data that includes merchant categorizations, and geographical data. The method generates cohort clusters of similar business entities by applying a clustering algorithm to the knowledge graph. The method uses the cohort clusters to learn a first extrapolation model for predicting inventory. And the method provides access to the first extrapolation model to predict inventory level at a specific point in time. The access is provided via a merchant application that runs on an online merchant platform.

The product data is obtained from internal sources and external sources. The method creates a knowledge graph for a plurality of business entities from inputs that include the plurality of product categories, published data that includes merchant categorizations, and geographical data. The method generates cohort clusters of similar business entities by applying a clustering algorithm to the knowledge graph. The method uses the cohort clusters to learn an extrapolation model for predicting inventory. The method makes a prediction as to the inventory level using the extrapolation model for a user of the merchant application. The method determines a confidence level for the user and orders additional inventory for the user without further input, if the confidence level is above a specified threshold.

During a device programming technique, a merchant provides account information associated with a smart-card terminal to a portable electronic device (such as a cellular telephone), which is coupled to the smart-card terminal. In response, the portable electronic device provides the account information to a computer remotely located relative to the portable electronic device. Then, the computer provides a merchant identifier and a terminal identifier to the portable electronic device. Next, the portable electronic device provides the merchant identifier and the terminal identifier to the smart-card terminal, thereby facilitating programming of the smart-card terminal.

A technique for collecting financial information is described. During this technique, a customer request to a financial institution to access a financial-software application is used to initiate an exchange of financial information between the financial institution and a provider of the financial-software application. In particular, in response to the forwarded customer request, the provider of the financial-software application may request, and then receive, financial information associated with the customer's account from the financial institution. Subsequently, the provider of the financial-software application may provide a document that facilitates access to the financial-software application to the customer. This document may include at least some of the received financial information. Note that in all of the communication between the provider of the financial-software application and the financial institution, credential information for the customer, such as a password associated with the account, may be excluded.
