A service provider and a partner may communicate through one or more respective member platforms that are respectively associated with the entities. As one example, a service provider may be associated with a service provider platform 440 and a partner may be associated with a partner platform 420.
In some embodiments, a member platform is a computing entity corresponding to a member associated with the exchange platform 102. The member platform may include a partner platform 420 acting on behalf of a partner, a service provider platform 440 acting on behalf of a service provider, and/or both. In some examples, a member platform may be both a partner platform 420 and a service provider platform 440. For example, the same member platform may be configured to operate on behalf of a partner for one value exchange and a service provider for another value exchange. In some examples, the same member platform may be configured to operate on behalf of both a partner and service provider in a single value exchange. It is noted that the term member platform may refer to a partner platform 420, a service provider platform 440, or both and, in some examples, may depend on the role of the member platform in a value exchange (e.g., and/or one or more interfaces utilized by the member platform in the value exchange).
