1. Buyer > Supplier
This is the straightforward relationship between 2 parties - one buys the goods/services, one supplies the goods/services
- Between a demand partner and a property partner: The demand partner would assume the buyer role and the property partner will assume the supplier role
- Between 2 demand partners: Either one of them can assume the buyer or supplier role
2. Buyer > Supplier > Source
This relationship would usually represent the relationship between a buyer, supplier and the hotel in a wholesaler context. The hotel would sell a bundle of rooms to a wholesaler, which would then sell the rooms to individual buyers.
- Hotel would be the source role
- Wholesaler would be the supplier role
- Buyer would be the buyer role
