  • Publication number: 20160155163
    Abstract: A computerized fulfillment system facilitates communication between seekers and providers by incorporating co-client logic in a thusly adjuncted device client enabling a seeker—urgently or normally seeking goods and/or services—to access information from provider profiles pertaining to one or more providers of goods and/or service. Providers are facilitated to configure corresponding provider profiles. The co-client is configurable so as to vary—potentially per co-client utilization—the adjunct provider(s) assigned to the co-client and/or the fulfillment system service(s) expressed. A co-client may provide a service portal enabling access to fulfillment system facilities for a multiplicity of user types.
