Abstract
A component supply processing server may obtain component purchase data for different components from different component suppliers, and obtain purchase settlement data between retailers and manufacturers, each manufacturer selling a product to the retailers, and each product including at least one of the different components. A learning algorithm may determine a predicted shortage of a given component by associating the manufacturers with a given component based upon the corresponding product, and accepting the component purchase data to determine component purchase patterns for each of the different components. The algorithm may determine the predicted shortage by the purchase settlement data to determine product purchase patterns for the products, and correlate the component and product purchase patterns to determine the predicted shortage. The server may generate a digital promotion for a given product based upon the component determined to have the predicted shortage, and communicate the digital promotion to a shopper device.
