摘要

There is provided a system and method for processing orders for products through a network coupled to at least a first computer system and a second computer system. The first computer system has stored therein a database of products and a database of customers. The second computer system has associated therewith an electronic address, which is associated with a customer in the database of customers. The first computer system receives a selection of one or more products from the database of products from the customer. The first computer system then stores data indicating a reorder list for the customer responsive to the selection of one or more products. The first computer system also stores data indicating a reorder frequency for each of the one or more products in the reorder list. The first computer system then transmits to the second computer system an electronic notification over the network regarding at least one item in the reorder list responsive to the reorder frequency data associated with that at least one item. The electronic notification is transmitted using the electronic address of the customer. The electronic notification includes a reorder identifier uniquely associated with the customer and the reorder list.
