Abstract

Methods for enriching the searchability of a transaction are provided. Methods may include receiving a raw transactional data feed at a preference rules engine. The raw transactional data feed may be associated with a transaction. Methods may include transmitting a request, from the preference rules engine to a data warehouse, for enriched transaction detail associated with a transaction identification number. The transaction identification number may be associated with the transaction. The request may include the transaction identification number. Methods may include receiving, at the preference rules engine, the transaction identification number with enriched transaction detail from the data warehouse. Methods may include appending, at the preference rules engine, the enriched transaction detail to the raw transactional data feed, thereby creating a revised transaction. Methods may include transmitting the revised transaction to a database. Methods may include transmitting the revised transaction from the database to a secondary database.

Claims

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor on a computer system, perform a method for enriching the searchability of a transaction, the method comprising:

receiving a raw transactional data feed, associated with the transaction, at a strategic platform;

creating a module based on the raw transactional data teed at the strategic platform;

determining, by the module, additional data which should be included in the transaction, said including of the additional data occurring at the strategic platform;

transmitting a request from the module, at the strategic platform, to a data warehouse, the request comprising a query for the additional data;

receiving the additional data from the data warehouse, at the strategic platform;

appending the additional data to the raw transactional data feed, thereby creating a revised transaction, at the strategic platform;

transmitting the revised transaction to a database;

transmitting the revised transaction from the database, to a secondary database;

transmitting the revised transaction from the secondary database to an administrative interface and a reporting hub; and

wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises a pictorial-physical-transaction-transmission map associated with the transaction.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises a beneficiary name associated with the transaction.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises beneficiary information associated with the beneficiary name.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises a clearing date associated with the transaction.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises intermediary banking information associated with the transaction.

6. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor on a computer system, perform a method for enriching the searchability of a transaction, the method comprising:

receiving a raw transactional data feed, associated with the transaction, at a. preference rules engine;

transmitting a request for enriched transaction detail associated with a transaction identification number associated with the transaction, from the preference rules engine to a data warehouse, the request comprising the transaction identification number;

receiving the transaction identification number with enriched transaction detail from the data warehouse, at the preference rules engine;

appending the enriched transaction detail to the raw transactional data feed, thereby creating a revised transaction, at the preference rules engine;

transmitting the revised transaction to a database;

transmitting the revised transaction from the database to a secondary database;

transmitting the revised transaction from the secondary database to an administrative interface and a reporting hub; and

wherein the data in the data warehouse comprises a pictorial-physical-transaction-transmission map associated with the transaction.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises a beneficiary name associated with the transaction.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises beneficiary information associated with the beneficiary name.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises a clearing date associated with the transaction.

10. The method of claim 6, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises intermediary banking information associated with the transaction.

11. An apparatus for enriching the searchability of a transaction comprising:

a preference rules engine comprising;

a receiver configured to receive a raw transactional data feed associated with the transaction, the raw transactional data feed comprising a transaction identification number;

a transmitter configured to transmit the transaction identification number to a data warehouse;

the receiver configured to receive the transaction identification number with enriched transaction detail associated with the transaction identification number, from the data warehouse, said enriched transaction detailed comprising a pictorial-physical-transaction-transmission map;

a processor configured to merge the received enriched transaction detail with the raw transactional data feed, thereby creating an enriched transactional data feed;

the transmitter further configured to transmit the enriched transactional data feed from the preference rules engine to a database;

the transmitter further configured to transmit the enriched transactional data feed from the database to a secondary database;

the transmitter further configured to transmit the enriched transactional data feed from the secondary database to an administrative interface and a reporting hub.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises a beneficiary name and/or beneficiary information.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises a clearing date.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the enriched transaction detail comprises intermediary banking information.
