ABSTRACT:
A system and method for facilitating communication between a plurality of buyers a plurality of suppliers is provided. The communication system provides for coordinated message and response tracking. Buyers and suppliers may submit information to a central database maintained by a service provider. Such information may comprise company profile and product information. Buyers may browse the database and assemble a list of suppliers who will receive a request for a bid. A broadcast message and various response tracking objects are assembled into a single message and response tracking object. The message and response tracking object serves as a central repository for all communications exchanged between the buyers and suppliers regarding the bid. The broadcast message is transferred to the suppliers on the supplier list and the suppliers respond with appropriate information. As responses are received, the information from the responses is assembled into the message and response tracking object. If necessary, reminders may be sent to suppliers that do not respond by a certain date. Information may then be extracted from the message and response tracking object and transferred to an analysis module for comparison and analysis of the responses.
