Systems and methods for electronically analyzing and normalizing a shipping parameter based on user preference data

A system of an intermediary entity, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory in which instructions executable by the processor are stored for causing the processor to:
• provide, by the system of the intermediary entity, an online portal including a first webpage through which a requesting entity can request to receive a shipping quote from a shipping entity, the requesting entity being different from the intermediary entity and the shipping entity, and the intermediary entity being different from the shipping entity;
• receive, by the system of the intermediary entity, a user input from a first computing device of the requesting entity through the first webpage of the online portal, the user input being for initiating a process for receiving the shipping quote in a preferred format selected by the requesting entity;
• in response to receiving the user input, transmit, by the system of the intermediary entity, an electronic request for shipping cost data to a second computing device of the shipping entity;
• provide, by the system of the intermediary entity, a second webpage of the online portal to the second computing device of the shipping entity for use in inputting the shipping cost data, the second webpage including an interactive form dynamically generated by the system of the intermediary entity based on the preferred format selected by the requesting entity for the shipping quote;
• receive, by the system of the intermediary entity, the shipping cost data from the second computing device of the shipping entity through the interactive form in the online portal, the shipping cost data being input into the interactive form by the shipping entity in response to receiving the electronic request, and the shipping cost data being in another format that is different than the preferred format of the requesting entity;
• automatically, by the system of the intermediary entity, convert the shipping cost data from the other format into the shipping quote in the preferred format of the requesting entity;
• and
• transmit, by the system of the intermediary entity, the shipping quote in the preferred format through the online portal to the first computing device of the requesting entity for display to the requesting entity.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are executable by a processing device of an intermediary system for causing the processing device to:

• receive, by the intermediary system, a signal over a network from a first computing device, the signal specifying a preferred format in which to receive a data value from a second computing device, the first computing device and the second computing device being separate from each other and the intermediary system;
• select, by the intermediary system, one or more input fields for an interactive form based on the preferred format provided by the first computing device;
• dynamically generate, by the intermediary system, program code for the interactive form based on the selected one or more input fields;
• transmit, by the intermediary system, the program code over the network to the second computing device, the second computing device being configured to generate the interactive form based on the program code;
• receive, by the intermediary system over the network and from the second computing device, a set of data via the one or more input fields of the interactive form;
• automatically convert, by the intermediary system, the set of data into the data value in the preferred format;
• and
• transmit, by the intermediary system, the data value in the preferred format over the network to the first computing device.
