In the following example, which type of B2B model is being used?

To acquire a new book inventory, we talk to our warehouse. The buyer (the book store) browses the supplier's (the warehouse)
book list and places orders for books. In our case, we have a local copy of the books that the warehouse stocks. The warehouse
compiles book lists from many publishers and provides the compiled list to retailers. Retailers then search for books using this
one access point, instead of searching over many lists. The warehouse would then fulfill the orders made by buyer.
