<p>A computer system automatically tracks a transaction involving a number of parties, such as a property purchase. The system keeps a diary (17) storing expected dates of progress reports on the transaction from the parties. Progress reports are received from the parties, analysed, and used to update the diary. The system periodically checks (22) the diary to detect overdue progress reports, and a reminder is automatically sent to a party from whom a progress report is overdue. In addition, an alert may be sent to a specified party. The consolidated reports may be viewed, e.g. over the Internet. <IMAGE></p> |
