Methods and systems for communicating across multiple procurement platforms

A method for communicating between a first platform computing systems and one or more additional platform computing systems, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processing system, a request to list a product for sale, the request specifying a variation of the product;
• transmitting, by the processing system, a listing request to the first platform computing system and the listing request to the one or more additional platform computing systems for the product having the specified variation of the product;
• receiving, by the processing system from the first platform computing system, an indication of an accepted bid corresponding to the listing request;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing system to the one or more additional platform computing systems, a cancellation request for the listing request at the one or more additional platform computing systems.

An apparatus for integrating a first platform computing system and a second platform computing system, the apparatus comprising:

• a network interface configured to communicate with the first platform computing system and a second platform computing system;
• and
• a processing circuit comprising a processor and memory with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
• receive a request to procure a product, the request specifying a variation of the product;
• transmit, via the network interface, a bid request to the first platform computing system and the the bid request to the second platform computing system for the product having the specified variation;
• receive, from the first platform computing system via the network interface, an indication of an accepted bid corresponding to the bid request;
• transmit, via the network interface to the second platform computing system, a cancellation request for the bid request at the second platform computing system;
• and
• generate a notification of the accepted bid on the first platform computing system.

• transmit, via the network interface, a bid request for a first product and a listing request for a second product to the first platform computing system, the first product having a first specified variation, and the second product having a second specified variation;
• receive, from the first platform computing system via the network interface, an indication of an accepted bid corresponding to the bid request or the listing request;
• transmit, via the network interface to the second platform computing system, a cancellation request for the accepted bid request or accepted listing request at the second platform computing system;
• and
• generate a notification of the accepted bid on the first platform computing system.
