Marketplace Domain

Why This Exists

The Marketplace Domain is responsible for marketplace listings, discovery of service providers, supplier and service provider search, category browsing, quote requests, service provider visibility, verification display, marketplace matching, and marketplace transactions or workflows.

Algosure is the world's first AI Digital Procurement Company. A Digital Procurement Company needs a governed marketplace layer where customers can discover, evaluate, and request support from providers who help them win and deliver procurement work.

Domain-Driven Design Position

Marketplace is a discovery and workflow domain. It owns the marketplace surface and matching workflow. It does not own provider performance records, funding application state, customer organization facts, or contract delivery state.

Scope

This domain defines marketplace discovery and workflow foundation. It does not define payment processing, legal agreements, funding adjudication, supplier master performance ownership, or contract delivery.
