Abstract

Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for dynamically managing data associated with transactions of wearable items. For example, a method may include receiving wearable item data from one or more electronic tenant interfaces, hosting an electronic warehouse operations portal and/or an electronic administrative portal, receiving one or more electronic user transactions initiated at one or more user platforms, updating one or more transaction databases and one or more analytics databases, based on the one or more electronic user transactions, receiving one or more wearable item operations requests, initiating one or more microservices to fulfill the one or more wearable item operations requests, and updating at least one of the one or more transaction databases and one or more analytics databases based on completion of the one or more wearable item operations requests.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically managing data associated with electronic transactions of wearable items, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, wearable item data from one or more electronic interfaces, the wearable item data describing one or more wearable items made available for physical shipment to users via electronic transactions, wherein the one or more electronic interfaces comprise one or more user interfaces accessible from one or more devices over one or more networks;
hosting, by the one or more processors, a wearable items warehouse operations portal and a marketing portal, each associated with providing the wearable items as a service, the wearable items warehouse operations portal and the marketing portal each comprising a user interface accessible from one or more employee devices over the one or more networks, wherein the wearable items warehouse operations portal and the marketing portal are external with respect to one or more data warehouse systems, wherein the warehouse operation portal is configured to, by execution of one or more jobs by a server system, enable an update to item retirement information stored in one or more transaction databases, and wherein a user interaction with the wearable items warehouse operations portal or the marketing portal triggers one or more APIs to begin the execution of the one or more jobs by the server system;
receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more electronic user transactions initiated at one or more user platforms for subscribing to, purchasing, or renting one or more of the wearable items provided as a service, each of the one or more electronic user transactions associated with at least one unique user identifier and at least one unique item identifier identifying wearable items described in the received wearable item data, wherein the one or more user platforms comprise one or more user interfaces accessible from one or more user devices over the one or more networks;
in response to receiving the one or more electronic user transactions for the one or more wearable items provided as a service, updating, by the one or more processors, the one or more transaction databases based on the one or more electronic user transactions;
maintaining the one or more data warehouse systems, by the one or more processors, comprising data from the one or more transaction databases;
generating, by the one or more processors, an electronic display based on the data maintained in the one or more data warehouse systems, based on a request for a report received from the one or more employee devices;
receiving, by one or more processors, one or more wearable item operations requests associated with providing the wearable items as a service, from at least one of the wearable items warehouse operations portal or the marketing portal to initiate order processing of a wearable item identified by the unique user identifier and the unique item identifier for a user identified by the received unique user identifier;
in response to receiving the one or more wearable item operations requests to initiate order processing of the wearable item identified by the unique user identifier and the unique item identifier, initiating microservices to fulfill the one or more wearable item operations requests, wherein the marketing portal and the warehouse operation portal communicate with the microservices by the one or more APIs, wherein the one or more jobs communicates with the microservices, wherein the microservices include at least one warehouse microservice and at least one marketing microservice, wherein the at least one warehouse microservice is configured to facilitate wearable item operation requests received from the wearable items warehouse operation portal, and the at least one warehouse microservice has at least one service component that tracks incremental damage of wearable items that are returned from subscribing users, cycles of each wearable item being counted with the at least one service component of the at least one warehouse microservice, and wherein the at least one marketing microservice is configured to facilitate wearable item operation requests received from the marketing portal, and has a service component that displays campaign tracking and/or incentive management for subscribing users; and
in response to initiating the microservices, storing events associated with execution of the microservices in the one or more transaction databases, the one or more transaction databases being in communication with the microservices.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more electronic user transactions comprise a return notification initiated with the one or more user interfaces to return one or more of the wearable items provided as a service.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one warehouse microservices is configured to facilitate wearable item operation requests received from the wearable items warehouse operation portal comprise at least one microservice including service components for order processing, inventory location, fulfillment, and return processing.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
initiating storefront jobs including:
calling a size information service component based on the wearable item data corresponding to the one or more electronic user transactions and data associated with the unique user identifier; and
calling a recommendation component for generating a recommendation for one or more wearable based on flags included in one or more data sets indicative of whether previously-shipped wearable items were actually worn by a subscribing user associated with the unique user identifier.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
initiating a customer service API including service components for managing:
subscription choices of subscribing users;
size profiles of the subscribing users;
virtual closets of the subscribing users; and
an interface for receiving return notifications from the subscribing users.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
hosting one or more storefronts presenting the one or more wearable items available for physical shipment to subscribing users based information corresponding to one or more wearable item catalogs; and
calling a customer service API that includes a service component for placing one or more wearable items associated with the one or more wearable item catalogs in a virtual closet of a particular user of the subscribing users.

7. A computer system dynamically managing data associated with transactions of wearable items, the computer system comprising:
a memory storing processor-readable instructions; and
at least one processor configured to access the memory and execute the processor-readable instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor configures the at least one processor to perform a plurality of functions, including functions for:
receiving wearable item data from one or more electronic interfaces, the wearable item data describing one or more wearable items made available for physical shipment to users via electronic transactions, wherein the one or more electronic interfaces comprise one or more user interfaces accessible from one or more devices over one or more networks;
hosting a wearable items warehouse operations portal and a marketing portal, each associated with providing the wearable items as a service, the wearable items warehouse operations portal and the marketing portal each comprising a user interface accessible from one or more employee devices over the one or more network, wherein the wearable items warehouse operations portal and the marketing portal are external with respect to one or more data warehouse systems, w
