Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method for associating a product category of consumer products with a location is provided. Data corresponding to consumer products is received, using one or more computing devices. Data for each of the consumer products includes corresponding location information. Each of the consumer products is identified based on the received data, using the one or more computing devices. A product category for each of the identified consumer products is determined, using the one or more computing devices. The consumer products are grouped based on the determined product categories and the corresponding location information, using the one or more computing devices. At least one determined product category is associated and stored with at least one location based on a density of the grouped consumer products and the corresponding location information, using the one or more computing devices.
