Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a multi-listing combined offer are provided. A networked system receives an indication to add a combination of items from multiple sellers into a virtual cart. In response, the networked system causes presentation of a user interface showing a combination of items from multiple sellers. The networked system receives, from the buyer, a buyer offer price for the combination of items. In response, the networked system accesses, from a data storage, item information for each item of the combination of items, whereby the item information includes a seller identifier, an original item price, and shipping cost for each item. The networked system then generates, based on the accessed item information and the buyer offer price, a split offer price for each seller, whereby the split offer price is a split of the buyer offer price. The split offer price is then presented to each corresponding seller.

In some embodiments, a user can invite other parties in a multi-party call involving the user and the representative. Various embodiments for multi-party and multi-device authentication mechanisms are described herein. In some embodiments, the system calculates an estimated call waiting time for a user to speak with the representative.

Abstract: A computerized system for transacting the purchase and sale of consumer motor fuels between motor fuel merchants and retail consumers through software on a mobile or desktop connected device for periods in the future through the simultaneous execution of multi-party, multi-layered contingent transactions and pricing algorithms to ensure that all inter-related motor fuel merchant transactions are simultaneously transacted upon a retail consumer purchase execution. Motor fuels include refined products such as gasoline and diesel fuel, renewable fuels (e.g. ethanol, biodiesel), natural gas (including liquefied natural gas), jet fuel and electricity.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates generally to systems and methods for adding interactive functionality to a website, other digital media objects, and computer processor applications. Systems and methods for adding functionality to content served by a first server, may include receiving, at a second server, a request from a client-computer for code to add purchase functionality to the content. The code may be sent to the client-computer based on the request. A further request may be received from the client-computer containing information about objects identified in the content as relating to the purchase functionality and a request for information about the objects. Information about the objects may be sent to the client-computer based on the further request. An instruction to complete the purchase may be received from the client-computer, and a confirmation of the completion of the purchase may be sent to the client-computer.

Abstract: A method and an invoice analytics system (IAS) for analyzing an entity's business service transactional invoice data (BSTID) and performing invoice analytics (IA) in real time and/or at weekly, monthly intervals are provided. The IAS extracts contract line item (CLI) data from contracts and stores the CLI data in a CLI database. The IAS transforms the CLI data into a quick view format and generates a contract quick view interface that displays the CLI data. The IAS extracts and segments invoice line item (ILI) data from aggregated BSTID, stores the ILI data in an ILI database, and reconciles the invoices in accordance with the contracts by identifying and rectifying errors and off-contract business service items. The IAS performs IA on the ILI data for computing cost savings and generates an interactive, dynamic, and searchable IA report including graphical data representations of purchase patterns, outliers, variations, and predictive analytics.

Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes a paired list of data transaction requests on which a matching process is performed. There are multiple different types of data transaction requests that are stored in the paired list including data transaction requests with midpoint attributes and data transaction requests with discretion attributes. The computer system may determine how the multiple different types of data transaction requests may be match against each other. Two matching processes can be used to determine if a match exists between the first and second sides of the paired list. Matches that are determined at private values are not disseminated to third-parties via public market data feeds.
