Methods and devices for managing resource reallocation

A computer-implemented method of proactively enabling reallocation of resources among two or more data records, the data records include a first data record to which resources are allocated, the method comprising:

• determining that the resources allocated to the first data record include surplus resources;
• sending a notification to a manager application on a remote device, the manager application being associated with the first data record, the notification including a proposed reallocation of at least a portion of the surplus resources to a second data record associated with the manager application;
• and
• receiving a response confirming the proposed reallocation and, in response, reallocating the at least a portion of the surplus resources from the first data record to the second data record.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for proactively enabling reallocation of resources among two or more data records, the data records include a first data record to which resources are allocated, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor of a computer system, cause the computer system to:

• determine that the resources allocated to the first data record include surplus resources;
• send a notification to a manager application on a remote device, the manager application being associated with the first data record, the notification including a proposed reallocation of at least a portion of the surplus resources to a second data record associated with the manager application;
• and
• receive a response confirming the proposed reallocation and, in response, reallocate the at least a portion of the surplus resources from the first data record to the second data record.
