ABSTRACT:
A method for ordering goods through the Internet is presented. The method comprises determining the user's specific procurement process, e.g., by an inventory of the user's facility, by an audit of the user's procurement records and/or by querying the user's personnel involved with the procurement process. Once the procurement process is determined, data indicative of the procurement process is input into a content database. A web site is hosted, which is operative with the computer program and the content database, the web site being accessible via the internet through a communications device. An electronic order form is stored in the memory, the order form being unique to the user, and operative with the computer program and the content database, such that the order form lists goods that meet the requirements of the identified procurement process of the user.
