Data processing system for managing chemical product usage

A data processing system for managing use of chemical product in a chemical application system corresponding to a first customer account identified by an account identifier, the system comprising:

• a first chemical product dispenser distributing the chemical product to the chemical application system;
• a monitor recording dispenser data based on distribution of the chemical product by the first chemical product dispenser;
• a database coupled to the first chemical product dispenser and storing the account identifier in association with the dispenser data of the first chemical product dispenser;
• the database further storing dispenser data of a second chemical product dispenser coupled and corresponding to a second customer account;
• an alignment identifier identifying a peer relationship between the first and second customer accounts;
• and
• an analysis application analyzing dispenser data of the first and second customer accounts, both associated with the alignment identifier, to characterize the use of the chemical product in the first chemical application system.

A data processing system for managing use of chemical product in a chemical application system corresponding to a first customer account identified by an account identifier, the chemical application system receiving the chemical product from a chemical product dispenser, the system comprising:

• a database coupled to the chemical product dispenser and storing the account identifier in association with the dispenser data of the chemical product dispenser;
• the database further storing corporate data in relation to the dispenser data associated with the first account identifier;
• an analysis application analyzing the dispenser data in relation with the corporate data to characterize use of the chemical product in the chemical application system.
• a target parameter specifying a desired data characteristic for product usage relating to the customer account, wherein the analysis application identifies data that fails to satisfy the target parameters.

A method of managing use of chemical product in a chemical application system corresponding to a first customer account identified by an account identifier, the method comprising:

• distributing the chemical product to the chemical application system via a first chemical product dispenser;
• recording first dispenser data based on distribution of the chemical product by the chemical product dispenser;
• recording the account identifier in association with the dispenser data of the first chemical product dispenser;
• storing second dispenser data from a second chemical product dispenser corresponding to a second customer account;
• and
• analyzing the first dispenser data of the first chemical product dispenser relative to the second dispenser data of the second chemical product dispenser to characterize the use of the chemical product in the chemical application system.

A method of managing use of chemical product in a first customer account identified by an account identifier, the method comprising:

• collecting dispenser data from a first chemical product dispenser;
• collecting corporate data corresponding to the account identifier
• collecting dispenser data from a second chemical product dispenser of a second customer account;
• and
• analyzing the dispenser data of the first chemical product dispenser relative to the corporate data and the dispenser data of the second chemical product dispenser to characterize the use of the chemical product in the first customer account.
