An Electronic Commerce system (10) enables corporate purchasers (12) and suppliers (16) to electronically transact for purchase and supply of goods/services. The system includes three major hardware and software components: buyer (12), supplier (16) and bank/administrator (18, 20, 53). To enable suppliers (16) to supply goods and services online and process electronic orders, several software components are used for operating a supplier process server (40, 44) and a supplier catalog server (42). To enable corporate purchasers (12) to purchase products and services online, preferably over the Internet (14), from suppliers (16), software is used for operating a customer server (34) to which multiple users (12) may log-on and access the supplier server (40, 44). An Automated Clearing House (ACH) server (50) may be used to interface with a bank's (ACH) systems (18, 20). A service bureau (48) that supplies the hardware and/or software components and assists to administer the system (10) includes a transaction counter (52), which records transactions and charges buyers (12) and/or suppliers (16) based on the number of purchase orders and/or invoices issued.

L'invention concerne un système (10) de commerce électronique permettant à des acheteurs collectifs (12) et des fournisseurs (16) de faire du commerce électronique, à savoir d'acheter et de fournir des biens/services. Le système comprend trois composants principaux logiciels et matériels: l'acheteur (12), le fournisseur (16) et la banque/administrateur (18, 20, 53). Pour permettre aux fournisseurs (16) d'offrir des biens et des services en ligne et de traiter les commandes électroniques, on utilise plusieurs composants logiciels pour exploiter un serveur (40, 44) de traitement du fournisseur et un serveur (42) catalogue du fournisseur. Pour permettre aux acheteurs collectifs (12) d'acquérir des produits et des services en ligne, de préférence via Internet (14), à partir de fournisseurs (16), on utilise des logiciels pour exploiter un serveur acheteur (34) auquel plusieurs utilisateurs (12) peuvent se connecter pour accéder au serveur fournisseur (40, 44). On peut utiliser un serveur (50) chambre de compensation automatisée (ACH) pour se connecter avec des systèmes (18, 20) bancaires (ACH). Un bureau de service (48), qui offre des composants matériels et/ou logiciels et aide à gérer le système (10), comprend un guichet de transactions (52) qui enregistre les transactions et débite une somme aux acheteurs (12) et/ou fournisseurs (16) en fonction du nombre de commandes d'achat et/ou de factures émis.
