ABSTRACT:
A computer system may be configured to provide highly automated procurement services including the possibility for price non-disclosure. The computer system is coupled to communication devices of a plurality of trading partners via a set of connection networks. A database accessible by the computer system is initialized with information from one or more trading partners. The computer system may be configured to process transactions among the one or more trading partners in a highly automated manner based on information in the database and additional information received during the transactions.
