Zusammenfassung:A system and method for managing and processing supply and demand information in an equipment market includes a business logic engine (200), a database (100) and interface engine (300) and communications engine (500) on a web host server. The communications engine (500) is configured to enable a community of participants in the market to send market inquiries from a demand side of the market, and the business logic engine (200) is configured to process market inquires and responses to include them in the database (100) of supply and demand information. The database (100) is configured to enable a search engine to retrieve data relevant to business planning and executing of equipment contracts and activities from community data and published data. The business logic engine (200) includes tools for collaboration, calculation, optimization and forecasting in the equipment market. In the exemplary embodiment the equipment is offshore drilling rigs.
