Data Processing System and Method For Rules-Based Inventory Qualification

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of computer instructions, the set of computer instructions comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• provide a graphical user interface with controls for searching searchable inventory records for a program pool;
• receive a feed of electronic inventory data from a remote system and create a first set of inventory records in a database from the electric inventory data, each inventory record in the first set of inventory records comprising a vehicle identification number (VIN) for a respective vehicle, a vehicle year/make/model/trim for the respective vehicle, a mileage for the respective vehicle and a dealer price for the respective vehicle;
• apply filter rules to the first set of inventory records to identify a second set of inventory records that comprises electronic inventory records for vehicles having vehicle configurations for which there are corresponding depreciation models in a set of depreciation models, wherein the instructions executable to apply the filter rules further comprise instructions executable to:
• determine for an inventory record from the first set of inventory records if there is a corresponding depreciation model in the set of depreciation models for the vehicle year/make/model/trim of the respective vehicle;
• based on a determination that there is not the corresponding depreciation model, filter out the inventory record;
• based on a determination that there is the corresponding depreciation model, pass the inventory record for inclusion in the second set of inventory records;
• and
• publish inventory records from the second set of inventory records to augment the searchable set of inventory records and update the program pool.

The computer program product of 11, wherein:

• the computer executable instructions comprise an application programming interface (API) for a vehicle history service, and
• the instructions executable to apply the filter rules to the first set of inventory records to identify the second set of inventory records further comprise instructions executable to:
• for the inventory record from the first set of inventory records:
• via the API, provide the VIN of the respective vehicle to the vehicle history service and receive a vehicle history;
• access incident limits from a memory;
• based on a determination that the vehicle history violates the incident limits, filter out the inventory record from inclusion in the second set of inventory records;
• and
• based on a determination that the dealer price of the respective vehicle does not violate the incident limits, pass the inventory record for inclusion in the second set of inventory records.
