Abstract
A control method of reverse auction that is implemented by a server connected to a plurality of supplier terminals through a communication network. The control method first receives bids from the plurality of supplier terminals through the communication network. Then, the server calculates a bid price ratio for relatively comparing bid prices of the received bids. Further, the server determines the distribution of a total procurement amount of a reverse auction target item based on the bid price ratio.
Claims18
A control method of reverse auction by a server connected to a plurality of supplier terminals through a communication network, comprising:
- receiving bids from the plurality of supplier terminals through the communication network;
- generating comparison information for relatively comparing evaluation parameters of the bids;
- and
- determining distribution of a total procurement amount of a reverse auction target item based on the comparison information.
A computer program product for causing a computer to execute control of reverse auction, the computer program product including a computer readable medium that stores a program code, the program code comprising:
- a first program code generating comparison information for relatively comparing evaluation parameters of bids which transmitted from a plurality of supplier terminals to the computer;
- and
- a second program code determining distribution of a total procurement amount of a reverse auction target item based on the comparison information.
A server connectable to a plurality of supplier terminals through a communication network and implementing control of reverse auction, comprising:
- a unit of receiving bids from the plurality of supplier terminals through the communication network;
- a unit of generating comparison information for relatively comparing evaluation parameters of the bids;
- and
- a unit of determining distribution of a total procurement amount of a reverse auction target item based on the comparison information.
