US 2022/0277376 A1 · SERVICE DISCOVERY AND DELIVERY THROUGH TRUSTED PARTNERS AND PROVIDERS

Abstract

The invention generally relates to systems and methods for controlled and monitored referral transfer tracking among a network of trusted service providers. The system allows a request to be sent to one or more organizations that may be able to provide the needed service. The request may be fulfilled by one of these service provider organizations or be forwarded by them to others if they cannot fulfill the request. This chain of forwards and referrals among a network of trusted service providers enable the request to reach across the trusted web of organizations to the one that finally fulfills the requested service. The final provider who delivers the requested service can get paid through the system.
