Abstract

Machine receives a notification that an order for a new item is being placed via an order form. Notification comprises an indication of a type of item being ordered. Order form comprises fields. Fields comprise type of item, item identifier, supplier identifier, price, payment method, and delivery location. Machine selects, based on the type of item being ordered, a first supplier bid from supplier bids stored in a bid data repository. Each supplier bid stored in the bid data repository comprises the item identifier, the supplier identifier, the price, and an expiration date. The item identifier of the first supplier bid corresponds to the type of item being ordered. Machine prepopulates, based on the first supplier bid, one or more fields of the order form. Machine submits the order based on the order form. Machine updates an inventory management data repository based on the delivery location and the item identifier.
