Typically a member will call the LMR office and ask us to find a member to do a specific job (e.g. 120 acres of ploughing).  The LMR manager will use the information held in the database to draw up a short list of members with the necessary equipment or skills.  The manager will telephone or text these supplying members until there is at least one able to satisfy the request.  The information is passed back to the demanding member allowing him to decide whether to proceed and have the job done or not.  If the demander wishes to proceed, then the demander and supplier would normally be put in touch with each other to discuss the finer details, which would include the price, location, timing etc.
On completion of the work both parties (demander and supplier) would sign an LMR worksheet to show that the work had been completed satisfactorily at the agreed rate.
The worksheet is sent to the LMR office where it will be processed to generate an invoice for the demander and a self-billing invoice for the supplier.  Invoicing is on a fortnightly basis.  The payment from the demander is collected by direct debit on the third week after invoicing.  The payment is made to the supplier on the fourth week after the invoice date.
LMR Group Deals
A member would call the office to order or get a price on a commodity (e.g. 9000lts of red diesel).  The LMR manager will either have a price available or call the relevant suppliers to get a price and to check the delivery situation.  This information will be relayed back to the member and the order placed.  The fuel would be delivered and the supplying member would invoice the demanding member C/O LMR.  LMR would invoice the demander and self invoice the supplier, collect the money by direct debit and pay the supplier as in the Member services example above.
