Abstract: A system and method for providing products and/or services to consumers from one or more sources or vendors is provided. The system comprises a computer system configured to receive an order (or inquiry) from a consumer for a plurality of products or services. The consumer can generate the order using a computing device. The computer system receives the order and electronically searches for prices for each of the products and/or services in the order. The computer system then groups the products and/or services into one or more groups and determines one or more sources or vendors that can provide the one or more groups at a lowest purchase cost after taking into account varied cost factors that may effect the final purchase cost of the order. The computer system then helps facilitate the purchase of the products and/or services from the one or more sources or vendors.
