A system to establish a trustworthy supplier in an online commerce environment includes an aggregated service provider to represent a buyer to source and to evaluate a seller. The aggregated service provider collects the requirements from the buyer, the requirements including a product specification and a qualification of the seller. The aggregated service provider presents an invitation to the seller and requests the seller to submit a property certificate. The property certificate contains a qualification of the seller, which is affirmed by a trusted agent. The aggregated service provider evaluates the qualification of the seller based on the submitted property certificate. In addition, the aggregated service provider translates the properties into access rights to certain transaction documents, such as Requests For Quotation (RFQ).
