USING MACHINE LEARNING TO PREDICT IMPACTS TO A SUPPLY CHAIN BY ANALYZING CURRENT EVENTS

Abstract:

Systems as described herein may predict impacts to a supply chain by analyzing current events. A merchant perdition server may retrieve news using a scraping algorithm, parse the news to identify keywords, and determine one or more industries that will be impacted by the news. The merchant perdition server may retrieve enterprise merchant intelligence information including a merchant category for each of small business merchants. The merchant perdition server may determine, based on a first industry of the one or more industries matching a first merchant category, a first small business merchant and one or more products that will be impacted by the news. Accordingly, the merchant perdition server may send to the first small business merchant, an alert indicating shortages of the one or more products.
