one or more receivers configured to receive data from sources external to the inventory management system;
one or more transmitters configured to transmit data to sources external to the inventory management system;
a bundle generation processor, the bundle generation processor being configured to:
receive transfer data from a first user via the one or more receivers indicating a group of items to be made available for a transfer of ownership, wherein the transfer of ownership of the group of items is to be made as a single transaction; and
process the received transfer data and generate a bundle data record comprising one or more data parameters based on the transfer data;
a transaction management processor, the transaction management processor being configured to:
receive a request from a second user via the one or more receivers requesting groups of items available for transfer of ownership;
provide information identifying available groups of items available for transfer of ownership to the second user via the one or more transmitters, based on the received request and the bundle data records;
receive a request for transfer of ownership of a selected group of items of the available groups of items from the second user via the one or more receivers; and

a transaction fulfilment processor, the transaction fulfilment processor being configured to:
request and receive item data regarding items present in the shared inventory space from an external shared inventory stock management system via the one or more receivers and transmitters;
provide the item data to the transaction management processor; and
transfer ownership of the selected group of items to the second user based on the item data,
wherein the transaction management processor is configured to determine whether each item of the selected group of items is present in the shared inventory space based on the item data and wherein the transaction fulfilment processor is configured to transfer ownership of the selected group of items to the second user by generating a control signal which is transmitted to the external shared inventory stock management system via the transaction fulfilment processor.
