Techniques are described for a management system to facilitate a negotiation process and payment for a requested resource between a vehicle and a supplier machine. The vehicle sends a request for the resource to the management system. In response, the management system is configured to identify a set of candidate supplier machines from a plurality of supplier machines that provide the requested resource in accordance with one or more resource parameters. The management system then initiates a negotiation process with each of the supplier machines within the set of candidate supplier machines based on one or more negotiation parameters. Once a transaction for the requested resource is agreed upon, the management system forms a smart contract between the vehicle, the supplier machine, and the management system. The management system executes the smart contract once the resource request is fulfilled to disburse funds from the vehicle to the supplier machine.
