Method) and a method of searching for and browsing the buyer's organization information based on the region (hereinafter referred to as a region search / browsing method) are provided to the supplier, and one of the methods is selected.

When the organization system search / browsing method is selected, the marketplace system 7 provides the supplier terminal 1 with a screen for inputting information on the organization system and displays the screen. , Buyer name or branch name). When the information is input, the marketplace system 7 refers to each of the DBs 11 to 19 in the organization information DB system 20 to search for organization information or department information related to the information (S2-1). If the organization information or the department information is found, all or a part of the information is provided to the supplier terminal 1, and if not found, the supplier terminal 1 is provided and displayed (S3-
1).

When the area search / browsing method is selected in step S1, the marketplace system 7 provides the supplier terminal 1 with a screen for inputting the area and displays the screen, and displays the area (for example, prefecture). Accept the input of. When the area is input, the marketplace system 7 searches for organization information or department information related to the area (S2-2). If the search finds organization information or department information, all or part of the information is searched. (For example, site information of a construction site belonging to the area), if not found, is provided to the supplier terminal 1 and displayed (S3-
2).

When the marketplace system 7 receives the construction machine advertisement information registration request in step S0, it accepts the input of the construction machine advertisement information from the supplier terminal 1 (S4). And the marketplace system 7
When the construction machine advertisement information is input, the supplier selects a method of specifying a posting destination of the input construction machine advertisement information (S5). There are several methods of specifying the posting destination. Here, as the specifying method, the marketplace system 7 uses a method of searching for and specifying a post to which the posting is to be made based on the organizational system (hereinafter referred to as “organizational system search. Specification method)
And a method of searching for and specifying a post to be posted based on the area (hereinafter referred to as an area search / designation method) is provided to the supplier, and one of the methods is selected.

When the method of searching for and specifying an organizational structure is selected, the marketplace system 7 provides and displays a screen for inputting information on the organizational structure on the supplier terminal 1, and displays information on the organizational structure (for example, , Buyer name or branch name).

If it is found, the department to be posted can be selected. The information is provided and displayed on the supplier terminal 1 (S6-1).

When the area search / designation method is selected in step S5, the marketplace system 7 provides a screen for inputting the area to the supplier terminal 1 and displays the screen, and the area (for example, prefecture) is displayed. Accept the input of. When a region is input, the marketplace system 7 searches for department information related to the region (for example, site information of a construction site belonging to the region). Is found, it is provided and displayed on the supplier terminal 1 so that the department to be posted can be selected (S6-2).

After step S6-1 or S6-2, the marketplace system 7 provides the construction machine advertisement information input in step S5 to the supplier terminal 1 when the department to be posted is selected (S7). And ask the supplier whether to approve the construction machine advertisement information (S
8). If it is not approved (No in S8), the marketplace system 7 returns to a predetermined process, for example, the process of step S4, and accepts the editing of the construction machine advertisement information. Conversely, if it is approved (Yes in S8), the marketplace system 7 notifies the advertisement information D
Register in B23. When the marketplace system 7 receives a browsing request for construction machine advertisement information from a buyer terminal used by the department of the buyer designated as the posting destination of the approved construction machine advertisement information, The advertisement information is provided to the buyer terminal and displayed (S9).

According to this flow, before registering the construction machine advertisement information, the supplier, based on the buyer's organization system,
After searching and browsing the organization information or department information of the buyer, the construction machine advertisement information can be created and registered. In addition, the supplier specifies the posting destination of the registered construction machine advertisement information,
It can be specified for each department based on the buyer's organizational system.
