Systems and methods for identifying commercial vacancies

Abstract:

A vacancy identification (VI) computing device is provided. The VI computing device includes a processor in communication with a memory. The processor generates a storefront profile including a status indicator for a candidate storefront located at a commercial property, stores the storefront profile within the memory, and registers a user to receive notifications for the candidate storefront. The processor also receives transaction data associated with the candidate storefront for a predetermined period of time, determines that the candidate storefront is vacant based on the transaction data, updates the status indicator to indicate that the candidate storefront is vacant, and transmits a notification to the registered user advising the registered user that the candidate storefront is vacant.
