Abstract

A system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform steps of a method. The system may provide complementary product suggestions to a consumer. The system may receive a listing of purchased products, and determine whether any of the purchased products on the listing correspond to one or more predetermined complementary product sets. The system may then identify one or more unpurchased products from the one or more complementary product sets. The system can then notify the consumer of the identified unpurchased products that they may want to purchase.

First claim

1 . A system for providing complementary product suggestions, comprising:
one or more memory devices storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
receive product data comprising a listing of purchased products;
determine whether any of the purchased products on the listing correspond to one or more predetermined complementary product sets;
identify, for at least one of the purchased products corresponding to one or more of the predetermined complementary product sets, one or more unpurchased products from the one or more complementary product sets; and
provide, to a computing device, a notification of the one or more identified unpurchased products.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing device is a mobile computing device.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the instructions to receive the product data further cause the one or more processors to scan, via a scanner in communication with the computing device, a product code associated with one or more of the purchased products in the listing.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to receive the product data further cause the one or more processors to receive the product data from a merchant computing device at a point-of-sale location.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are also configured to execute the instructions to:
identify product purchase data related to at least one of the identified unpurchased products; and provide, to the computing device, the product purchase data.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the product purchase data comprises one or more of: merchant identification, merchant location, merchant web address, product price, product stock information, and product shipping information.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the product data comprises the listing of purchased products corresponding to a single purchase event.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to provide, to a merchant computing device at a point-of-sale location, a notification of the one or more identified unpurchased products.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to receive the one or more complementary product sets from a merchant computing device.

10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to receive one or more purchase histories associated with a plurality of customers, and determine the one or more complementary product sets based on the one or more purchase histories.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to receive the one or more complementary product sets from a manual input component of the computing device.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause a computer system to:
receive product data comprising a listing of purchased products; determine whether any of the purchased products on the listing correspond to one or more predetermined complementary product sets; identify, for at least one of the purchased products corresponding to one or more of the predetermined complementary product sets, one or more unpurchased products from the one or more complementary product sets; and provide, to a computing device, a notification of the one or more identified unpurchased products.

13 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the computing device is a mobile computing device.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions to receive the product data further cause the mobile computing device to scan, via a scanner in communication with the mobile computing device, a product code associated with one or more of the purchased products in the listing.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the instructions to receive the product data further cause the computing device to receive the product data from a merchant computing device at a point-of-sale location.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , further storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
identify product purchase data related to at least one of the identified unpurchased products; and provide, to the computing device, the product purchase data.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the product purchase data comprises one or more of: merchant identification, merchant location, merchant web address, product price, product stock information, and product shipping information.

18 . A system for obtaining complementary product suggestions, comprising:
one or more memory devices storing instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
provide, via a mobile computing device, product data comprising a listing of purchased products;
receive, on the mobile computing device, a notification of one or more unpurchased products based on the provided product data, the notification comprising product purchase data associated with the one or more unpurchased products, wherein at least one of the purchased products on the listing correspond to one or more predetermined complementary product sets and the unpurchased products comprise any products in the one or more predetermined complementary product sets that do not correspond with the provided product data; and
purchase, via the mobile computing device, one or more of the unpurchased products based on the product purchase data.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the instructions to provide the product data further cause the one or more processors to scan, via a scanner in communication with the mobile computing device, a product code associated with one or more of the purchased products in the listing.

20 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to provide, via a manual input component of the mobile computing device, the one or more complementary product sets.
