Abstract
Techniques for generating matchups of sale and coupon deals are described. For example, deal data that pertains to a sale deal and a coupon deal is received. A sale brand identification and a coupon brand identification are identified based on the deal data. A first set of deal data including the sale brand identification and corresponding to the sale deal, and a second set of deal data including the coupon brand identification and corresponding to a coupon deal are determined based on the deal data. A matchup of the sale deal and the coupon deal is generated based on matching the sale brand identification and the coupon brand identification, detecting a sale deal type in the first set of deal data and a coupon deal type in the second set of data, and determining that a sale deal's and a coupon deal's validity periods overlap and have not expired.
