2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, clothes, fresh fish, dry matter, etc. are loaded on a vehicle or the like, and a business trip is made to a place where a buyer is located as a mobile store.
As a convenient item that can be used without the buyer having to go to the store to buy, a useful selling method has been established in various places.

[0003]

However, there is a limit to the type and quantity of goods to be loaded for a mobile store, and it is often impossible to immediately sell the goods desired by the buyer on the spot.
In this case, the customer's consent has been obtained by taking measures such as refusing the offer of the product shortage or bringing the product later to promise the sale. On the other hand, even familiar customers are aware that goods cannot be obtained immediately because of a mobile store, and they have formed a smooth sales relationship, for example, by placing an order with a margin such as the day before.

[0004] Such a mobile store system as a private store which emphasizes communication between a buyer and a seller is not available in a supermarket or a convenience store type sales system.
There is a bond of common human relations, and it can be evaluated as a preferred sales method. However, if the type and quantity of products are limited and it is not possible to respond to the purchaser's order, and it is not possible to sell on the spot, and the product will be sold later or at a later date,
It has to be said to be a fatal drawback. The present invention is intended to solve such a disadvantage by means described in the following sections.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In a method of selling goods at a mobile store by vehicle, (1) A sales network mainly comprising a headquarters base and a mobile store by a plurality of vehicles is configured.

The data in the sales inventory management table is simultaneously updated (real-time fluctuation) with the fluctuations of various information in the sales network, so that it is always the latest data. (4) A transport section is set up for the purpose of transporting commodities and necessary articles between each department in the sales network and customers and delivering the ordered products to customers' homes. (5) In addition to exhibiting and selling products and product catalogs in mobile stores that meet conditions such as large vehicles, it is also equipped with personal computers, video playback devices, cooking utensil materials, electromagnetic wave measurement devices, etc., for attracting customers and customers It provides various courses and entertainment movie viewing services for free or for a fee.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION For a vehicle to be a mobile store, a vehicle type suitable for various conditions, from a light four truck to a large sightseeing bus, is selected in accordance with the conditions of a parking place, the type and quantity of in-vehicle products, and the like. If it is a vehicle designed as a mobile store, it is perfect, but if it is modified and used, an American school bus type with a hood protruding forward suitable for sales conditions is good. However, in the case of using a small vehicle, services such as a personal computer classroom cannot be implemented, and only the sales method of the present invention excluding this portion is used.

[0007] Since the mobile store is used for multiple purposes, there is a restriction in allocating a lot of space only for exhibited products. Therefore, the number of displayed products is reduced, and sales are performed by catalog instead. However, this point is not attractive to purchasers, is similar to the conventional mobile sales method, and has no effect on attracting customers. A system that covers this drawback and provides a service that exceeds existing supermarkets and convenience stores is the home delivery service combined system of the present invention.

That is, if there is no product ordered from a customer at one mobile store, the mobile store searches the sales inventory management table on its homepage on the Internet and finds that the product is in a warehouse or other storage in the sales network. Check where it is in the mobile store.

Various numerical values (data) of the sales inventory management table

Fluctuation (real-time fluctuation). Therefore, all the information in the sales network is comprehensively unified, and the latest value of the data that fluctuates from time to time is updated and displayed.

[0010] One mobile store that has received an order from a customer can be promptly delivered by requesting the transportation department mainly composed of motorcycles such as bicycles or motorcycles to transport the goods.

If there is no target product in the company's own sales network, the mobile store is searched for a manufacturer or wholesaler of the target product or a homepage of the store by using a mobile device such as a personal computer.
Alternatively, a desired product is obtained by telephone or the like, and is promptly delivered to the ordering mobile store or the ordering customer's home.

The point of the sales system of the present invention is how to quickly and surely deliver the product ordered from the customer to the customer as described above. For this reason, (1) a transport section mainly consisting of motorcycles, which is hardly affected by traffic congestion, will be set up, and a system that can deliver goods as soon as possible will be established. (2) In order to shorten the distance for transporting the product, a regional map is created that displays the locations of dealers and wholesalers in the region where the product can be purchased.

Regarding the types of products to be handled, use the sales system configured as described above, whether the products are not handled by the company itself, the products ordered directly by the customer or the products requested to be arranged. As a result, it is possible to immediately respond to the needs of the customer, and it is possible to positively expand the regional range of the sales system, increase the types of products, and increase the sales volume.

On the other hand, if the product cannot be immediately delivered to the customer who has ordered the product,
Although it is necessary to wait, a device for waiting during that time is required as a service for customers. As described above, there is no problem if the goods are sent directly to the customer's home at the time specified by the transport department, and the service will be enjoyed by the customers. However, if it takes longer to reach the product,
Arrival of ordered goods by using personal computers, cooking equipment, etc. installed in mobile stores to open and participate in personal computer classes, cooking classes, etc., or to provide video entertainment movies as a service It is possible to enhance the blank time until time and give satisfaction. At the same time, it can also be used as a business trip computer class and cooking class. It should be noted that watching a movie on a video is not an anti-public order.

[0015] The target person for this diversified business method is not limited to the customer who ordered the product. Send children to kindergartens and nursery schools, attract mothers who can afford a relatively long time to be picked up a few hours later, people who have time to relax at parks, etc., and people who gather at various events as mobile shop customers Is an effective business method. For such people, various types of sales methods aiming to acquire customers are possible by holding and participating in various moving classrooms as described in the preceding paragraph, and providing services such as watching entertainment movies by video. .

One of the customer services is to measure electromagnetic waves of household electric appliances, which has recently been talked about as a social problem, and create an electromagnetic wave intensity distribution map around each electric appliance. As mentioned in the previous section, the target of this service is not limited to the customer of the product, it may be used for the purpose of service business for customer acquisition, and it is necessary to develop this service business independently into profitable business Is also possible.

[0017]

According to the present invention, since the sales system described above is constructed, the following effects can be obtained.

Since the sales inventory management table can be accessed from various parts in the sales network, various information such as sales information and inventory information of commodities can be immediately obtained. For this reason, since the information communication in the sales network does not depend on a manual means, labor saving and accuracy for the information communication can be expected very high.

Since the data of the sales inventory management table changes every moment and the data at the time of opening the sales inventory management table on the home page becomes the latest and accurate information, it is necessary to prepare a new business management table. No work is required, and you can download it as is and use it immediately as sales materials.

It is possible to communicate with a personal shop-like customer who is not in a supermarket or convenience store.

[0021] The storage location of the products stored by the company, the location of the store, the manufacturer, etc. for each product type can be grasped by creating a regional map and a sales inventory management table, and the efficiency of the product distribution channel can be improved. Since products that are in stock from manufacturers are not stored in their own warehouses and delivered to customers as they are, it is possible to streamline product storage operations (reducing the number of storage locations, saving Kurashiki charges, and simplifying storage management operations).

Since home delivery to the customer is also performed, the customer can often use the service without having to visit the store each time, which is effective for acquiring the customer and can also perform additional work as a home delivery service.

There are features such as a mobile store-based sales system and a motorcycle-based goods transport department, which exhibit sufficient mobility and can enter any place or area at any time. The system can be applied immediately to social services such as relief to disaster areas and transportation of goods in an emergency.

Since the delivery department is mainly composed of two-wheeled vehicles such as bicycles and motorcycles, the cost of delivery costs can be kept low even if the number of goods delivered is small.
