Guidance systems and methods for supply chain issues

A method of operating a guidance system, the method comprising:

• receiving, at one or more processors, data from a plurality of data sources, wherein the data comprises purchase data from a banking service of the plurality of data sources;
• identifying, using the one or more processors and based on the data, a forecast of an event for a geographic location associated with the data;
• identifying, using the one or more processors, a change in the purchase data associated with the geographic location;
• in response to identifying the change in the purchase data, the forecast of the event for the geographic location, or both:
• determining, using the one or more processors and based on identifying the change in the purchase data, an occurrence of one or more supply chain shortages of one or more items associated with the geographic location;
• generating and sending, based on determining that occurrence of the one or more supply chain shortages and using the one or more processors, an output that comprises information associated with the event and the one or more supply chain shortages to a plurality of user devices associated with the geographic location;
• parsing the output to identify first data based on first location data indicating that a first user device of the plurality of user devices is located within a first area of the geographic location;
• parsing the output to identify second data based on second location data indicating that a second user device of the plurality of user devices is located within a second area of the geographic location different than the first area;
• instructing, via a respective application of the first user device, display of the first data using a first display of the first user device, the first data being indicative of a first location of a first local store within the first area, availability of a first item at the first local store, a first estimated time until the first item runs out of stock at the first local store, a first recommendation, or any combination thereof;
• instructing, via a respective application of the second user device, display of the second data using a second display of the second user device, the second data indicative of a second location of a second local store, availability of a second item at the second local store, a second estimated time until the second item runs out of stock at the second local store, a second recommendation, or any combination thereof;
• enabling, using the one or more processors, a respective message application on the first user device and on the second user device to facilitate interaction between a first user associated with the first user device and a second user associated with the second user device in response to identifying that the second user has access to the first local store, the first item, or both;
• and
• generating, using the one or more processors, instructions to cause a drone delivery process in response to a request for a drone delivery by the first user, wherein the drone delivery process comprises automated operation of at least one drone to travel from a respective location of the second user device determined based on the second location data to a respective location of the first user device determined based on the first location data to deliver the first item from the second user to the first user.

A guidance system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to:
• receive weather data from a weather data source;
• receive a geographic location associated with a first user device;
• identify, based on the weather data, a forecast of a weather event for the geographic location;
• receive additional data from one or more additional data sources, wherein the additional data comprises purchase data from a banking service of the one or more additional data sources;
• determine, based on a change in the purchase data for the geographic location, an occurrence of one or more supply chain shortages of one or more items in an area associated with the geographic location;
• generate an output indicative of the one or more supply chain shortages;
• in response to determining that the one or more items are not available at one or more local stores within the area, instruct display of the output on a display of the first user device, wherein the display of the output comprises a digital button indicative of one or more available suppliers that have availability of the one or more items;
• in response to digital actuation of the digital button, instruct display of a list of the one or more available suppliers and one or more respective distances between the one or more available suppliers and the first user device via the display;
• in response to a selection of a second user from the list of the one or more available suppliers, enable a respective message application on the first user device and on a second user device to facilitate interaction between a first user associated with the first user device and a second user associated with the second user device;
• and
• generate instructions to cause a drone delivery process, wherein the drone delivery process comprises automated operation of at least one drone to travel from a respective location of the second user device to a respective location of the first user device to deliver at least one item of the one or more items from the second user to the first user.
