Patent

CA 2314277

An on-line ordering system is provided by which a plurality of end users interact over the Internet with a non-expert customization system for the purpose of designing and ordering merchandise. Upon establishing an on-line session with the non-expert customization system, the system prompts the user for a set of constraints (e.g. quantity, price, time). The system then shows the user an electronically displayed set of configuration options which he or she can choose from to customize the design of the end product. These options include, but are not limited to colour, size, structural make-up, material and component options. The system has the ability to show the user/buyer only those options which will be compatible with the constraints laid out by the user/buyer and which can be supplied in a satisfactory manner by the seller operating the system. In addition, the user/buyer is provided with transparent information regarding the pricing implications of his or her option choices. The order placement system allows the seller to deliver the end product to the buyer by asking the user/buyer for information including, but not limited to credit worthiness, currency preferences, sample requirements and delivery specifications. Then, the custom designed product is converted, electronically into a digital set of materials which gives instructions to service providers (e.g. the shipper, material suppliers, manufacturer, customs broker, etc.) on how to fulfill the order. These instructions are a direct translation of the electronically displayed product into the end supplier's mother tongue. The order system then links to the necessary service providers via the Internet for financing of the order, material ordering, shipment, etc.
