ABSTRACT:
A computerized system is capable of receiving an input request from the orderer for a retailer, of searching selected wholesalers based on information obtained automatically from the wholesalers, and of then comparing these wholesalers to one another so as to provide a desired allocation of resources among these selected wholesalers such that orders are created for a high number J of distinct items which may number in the hundreds or even thousands. The search may be performed, for example, on the basis of net price per unit item or on the basis of net price per unit weight or per unit volume. The system preferably automatically creates an order file which can be transmitted to the selected warehouses to order the selected products but which can be manually edited prior to transmission.
