摘要

A method and system for registering, credentialing, rating, trending, monitoring and cataloging businesses, organizations, and individuals. The applicant business, organization, or individual clicks to a computer server to begin the registration process for the benefit of the applicant and its customer. The server system receives the request for registration and requests contact information, product category codes, and other details and payment information from the applicant. The applicant's details are then used to aggregate other electronic records to determine applicant's suitability. The details and records are then rated based on predetermined thresholds to provide an acceptability score for the applicant. The applicant may return to the computer server to log-in to view and edit the applicant's details pursuant to a subscription agreement. The customer may then also log-in to view all details of registered vendors, sorted according to various options. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the internet acts as the computer network described.
