Transaction processing is performed by an integration hub ( 100 ) communicating with :a number of broker systems B 1 , B 2 . . . Bn; and a number of manufacturer client systems ( 200 ). The hub ( 100 ) has a client-side interface with an access control mechanism for interfacing with client systems ( 200 ), and a broker-side interface with a different access control mechanism for interfacing with the broker systems. When an upload is received from a client for an offer for sale or purchase of goods a broadcast is performed in which a notification with a unique reply URL is sent to each of a selected group of external systems. Each response identifies a log-on page ( 400 ), however the full URL is different for each due to the extension query string (such as, "link=10"and "link=57"). A detector function ( 420 ) monitors the incoming strings and, using a database ( 421 ) determines automatically the identity of the party responding. Thus, the recipient of the notification message can simply click on the link in the message and is then immediately directed to the log-on page ( 400 ) and the hub ( 100 ) automatically detects their identity without need for them to input any identification data. The log-on page ( 400 ) routes the party to the page ( 410 ).
