0), the employee number of the employee who is the orderer, the company ID of the company to which the employee belongs, the name of the ordered product, and the product ID of the product are registered in the order information database 20 as order information (S132). Further, in the customer information database 12, the number of employee points and the number of company points for the merchandise selling company are added by points corresponding to the merchandise price.

On the other hand, each of the partner companies logs in to the partner computer 26, inputs their own ID number and password (S134), and is authenticated by the mall server 10 (S136). It can be referenced at any time. Then, referring to the order information database 20 (S138), if the purchase order information for the company's product is registered, the person in charge performs an input operation of accepting OK for each purchase order information. The partner computer 26 acquires the e-mail address of the orderer with reference to the customer information database 12,
An e-mail for order confirmation is transmitted to this e-mail address (S140). Further, a process for shipping the ordered product to the orderer is performed (S142). When the product shipping process is completed, the person in charge performs an input operation of completion of shipping. When this input operation is performed, the partner computer 26
Notifies the mall server 10 by e-mail or the like that the product shipping processing has been completed for the purchase order (S1).
44). However, some products are automatically processed without the involvement of a partner company representative from receiving a purchase order to sending out an order confirmation e-mail. Reception O by
An order confirmation and shipping notification email is sent without the K and dispatched input operation.

Upon receiving this notification, the mall server 10 sets the status information of the corresponding order information recorded in the order information database 20 to "shipped" (S146). And the status information is "shipped"
The employee-specific order data obtained by collecting the changed order information for each employee is transmitted to the personnel computer 30 of the user company by e-mail, for example (S148). Upon receiving the purchase information, the personnel computer 30 updates the salary information registered in the personnel management database 36 so that the purchase price of each employee specified by the purchase information is deducted from the salary (S150). Then, the amount deducted from the salary of each employee is collected for each partner company which is a seller of the product, and the payment is made by performing a transfer process to the bank account of each partner company (S1).
52). It is preferable that the pay information updating process can be automatically performed by a program incorporated in the personnel computer 30.
