Abstract
A server computer receives configuration data from a first user of a first user device and establishes an interaction limit for the first user based on the configuration data. The server computer subsequently receives a request message from a second user device of a second user that includes parameters, including a request for services. The server computer selects the first user from a plurality of users based on the parameters and the configuration data from the first user. The server computer transmits a quote message to the second user device indicating the selection of the first user and including a quote. When the server computer receives an indication of a response message from the second user device, the server computer processes the response message and determines if the response message is indicative of an interaction type that requires modifying a first user account associated with the first user.
