Abstract
In an embodiment, upon receiving access credentials from a first entity, first information about the first entity is retrieved and used to determine a first service and a first service category of the first service provided by a first service provider to the first entity in the past. Based on the first service category, one or more first sub-categories associated with the first service are determined. Upon determining electronic data characteristics of received electronic data, it also is determined whether any of the electronic data characteristics matches one or more first sub-category characteristics of any of the one or more first sub-categories associated with the first service. If so, based on, at least in part, the electronic data, an updated first sub-category for the first sub-category associated with the first service is generated and transmitted to the first service provider for processing.
