Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided that integrate data from disparate sources to identify shipment misalignments and display such information in interactive user interfaces. For example, the systems described herein can define various geographic regions using location and census data and identify the defined geographic regions in which stores are located. Using shipment data and micro-market data, the systems described herein can then identify the geographic regions that items are shipped to, identify the demand for such items in the geographic regions, and determine whether the quantity of items shipped to the geographic regions is appropriate based on the demand. Such information can be displayed in an interactive user interface that allows a user to view the geographic clustering of item demand, identify potential opportunities for correcting shipment misalignment, and/or correct identified shipment misalignments.
