| 20120005101 | System and Method for Offering Bulk Products for Sale to Multiple Businesses by Provision Point Mechanism - A method for business-to-business (B2B) provisioning implemented on a computer system. Information is stored for at least one purchase offer concerning an associated product or service. The stored information identifies the associated product or service, a number of current acceptances of the offer made by one or more businesses, and a number of acceptances required for activating an associate purchase order. Upon receipt of a next acceptance of the offer, the computer system operates to update the number of current acceptances, and to determine whether the updated number of current acceptances is greater than or equal to the number of acceptances required for activating the associate purchase order. If a time period for accepting the offer has expired and the updated number of current acceptances is greater than or equal to the number of required acceptances, the computer places an associated order with an associated supplier. | 01-05-2012 |
