A computerized system is capable of receiving an input request from the orderer for a retailer, of searching selected wholesalers based on information obtained automatically from the wholesalers, and of then comparing these wholesalers to one another so as to provide a desired allocation of resources among these selected wholesalers such that orders are created for a high number J of distinct items which may number in the hundreds or even thousands. The search may be performed, for example, on the basis of net price per unit item or on the basis of net price per unit weight or per unit volume. The system preferably automatically creates an order file which can be transmitted to the selected warehouses to order the selected products but which can be manually edited prior to transmission.

System and method for allocating resources of a retailer among multiple

A computerized system receives an input request from the orderer for a retailer, of searching selected wholesalers, and of then comparing these wholesalers to one another so as to provide a desired allocation of resources among these selected wholesalers. The system is preferably capable of searching both the warehouse of a primary wholesaler and the warehouses of a number of secondary wholesalers and of allocating resources so as to meet designated ordering criterion or constraints for the warehouse of the primary wholesaler. The search may be performed, for example, on the basis of net price per unit item or on the basis of net price per unit weight or per unit volume. The system preferably automatically creates an order file which can be transmitted to the selected warehouses to order the selected products but which can be manually edited prior to transmission.
