Apparatus, system and method for managing transactions between market parties from multiple market party classes

摘要

A transaction server (112) receives transaction profiles from market parties (102) corresponding to at least three different classes of market parties. Transaction profiles having overlapping limitations are identified to form a group of at least three market parties where each market party (102) belongs to a different market party class. Multiple groups may be identified and transmitted to each market party (102) belonging to a group. Examples of market party classes include buyers, sellers and transaction enablers 406 such as shippers and insurers.
