Abstract

Electronic systems for facilitating a vendor-customer association are described herein where contemplated systems comprise: a computer comprising a processor, an executable code, wherein the code is accessed and run on the processor and wherein the code comprises: an information-gathering function that processes information about the vendor and the customer, a security function that creates a unique identifier assigned to the vendor, customer or combination thereof and creates a profile for the vendor, customer or combination thereof, a sorting function, wherein the sorting function reviews the profile of the customer and the vendor, and a contact function, wherein the contact function contacts the vendor, customer or combination thereof depending on a set of contact settings for that individual or business vendor, customer or combination thereof.

Claims

1. An electronic system for facilitating a vendor-customer association, the system comprising:

a computer comprising a processor, and

an executable code, wherein the code is accessed and run on the processor and wherein the code comprises;

an information-gathering function that processes a plurality of information about the vendor and the customer,

a security function that creates a unique identifier assigned to the vendor, customer or combination thereof and creates a profile for the vendor, customer or combination thereof,

a sorting function, wherein the sorting function reviews the profile of the customer and the vendor, and

a contact function wherein the contact function contacts the vendor;

customer or combination thereof depending on a set of contact settings for that individual or business vendor, customer or combination thereof.

2. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the executable code is located on a network server.

3. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the executable code is accessed via the Internet.

4. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the information about the vendor and the customer comprises name, address, phone, tax, E-mail, best time to contact, best way to contact and who to contact, type of business, customer needs with respect to goods and services, vendors wares pricing policies and schedules, other information that would be necessary to efficiently put together vendors with customers and combinations thereof.

5. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the security function comprises at least two steps.

6. The electronic system of claim 5, wherein the at least two steps comprises creating a unique identifier assigned to the vendor or customer, creating a profile for the vendor or customer, creating a profile for the vendor and customer or a combination thereof.

7. The electronic system of claim 6, wherein the unique identifier comprises at least one number, letter, symbol or combination thereof.

8. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the sorting function reviews the profile of the potential customer and the vendor to determine if there is a match between the needs and the goods or services.

9. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the computer comprises a local computer, a network computer, a handheld device, a cell phone or any other two-way communication device.

10. The electronic system of claim 1, wherein the computer comprises a user interface.

11. The electronic system of claim 10, wherein the user interface comprises a monitor, a key board, a speech-recognition device, a screen, at least one speaker or a combination thereof.

12. A method for facilitating a vendor-customer association, the method comprising:

providing a computer comprising a processor,

providing an executable code, and

accessing and running the code on the processor and wherein the code comprises;

an information-gathering function that processes information about the vendor and the customer,

a security function that creates a unique identifier assigned to the vendor, customer or combination thereof and creates a profile for the vendor, customer or combination thereof,

a sorting function, wherein the sorting function reviews the profile of the customer and the vendor, and

a contact function, wherein the contact function contacts the vendor, customer or combination thereof depending on a set of contact settings for that individual or business vendor, customer or combination thereof.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the executable code is located on a network server.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the executable code is accessed via the Internet.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the information about the vendor and the customer comprises name, address, phone, tax, E-mail, best time to contact, best way to contact and who to contact, type of business, customer needs with respect to goods and services, vendors wares, pricing policies and schedules, other information that would be necessary to efficiently put together vendors with customers and combinations thereof.

16. The method of claim 12, wherein the security function comprises at least two steps.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the at least two steps comprises creating a unique identifier assigned to the vendor or customer, creating a profile for the vendor or customer, creating a profile for the vendor and customer or a combination thereof.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the unique identifier comprises at least one number, letter, symbol or combination thereof.

19. The method of claim 12, wherein the sorting function reviews the profile of the potential customer and the vendor to determine if there is a match between the needs and the goods or services.

20. The method of claim 12, wherein the computer comprises a local computer, a network computer, a handheld device, a cell phone or any other two-way communication device.
