Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a contracting method, contracting system, contracting device, and computer capable of simplifying the load of indirect work of a trader associated with a plurality of predetermined services or products in independent management. The present invention relates to a readable recording medium, and more particularly, to a contract method, a contract system, a contract device, and a computer-readable recording medium that facilitate a nationwide business tie-up by carriers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, various systems have been proposed and used for improving the efficiency of work.

For example, an online reservation system that reserves seat tickets for trains and airplanes using an intranet, or contract information is stored in a database, and invoices to suppliers are collectively created at a predetermined time. Computer systems that can be used have come into practical use.

By the way, such various systems are
If the product or service originally handled in the business is the information itself or can be provided by printing based on the information, improve the efficiency of the business itself, such as the ticket sales business using the former online reservation system. It can be maximized.

On the other hand, in the transportation business for transporting goods, the retail business for selling goods, etc., the products and services actually handled as business are tangible items and must be assisted. In such a work, it is natural that the computer system can be used only in an indirect work such as an ordering work or a settlement work.

[0006] Further, small and medium-sized enterprises operating such a transportation business and a retail business are involved in price competition with nationwide carriers and large stores pursuing economies of scale such as mass transportation and mass purchasing. However, the business condition is not always good.

[0007]

Therefore, if small and medium-sized enterprises that are engaged in business related to the same service or product form a tie-up, a nationwide transportation network can be realized, and product purchases can be performed collectively. In pursuit of merits, it will be possible to coexist against large companies. Typical examples are convenience store chain stores operating nationwide.

[0008] However, when such an alliance is made, for example, the following problems occur.

First, as a fundamental fact, each manager who runs a small and medium-sized enterprise manages based on its own management philosophy, like the one-man manager of a large enterprise. In order for such small and medium-sized enterprises to cooperate with each other, it is not necessary to form a cooperation based on a hierarchical relationship like a convenience store, but to form an alliance with respect to the management philosophy of each business operator.

Secondly, in order to pursue mass merits, it is necessary not to carry out such an alliance with several companies, but to build an alliance with a unit of at least several hundreds or thousands. However, although an example of a shipping company will be described, in the case of such an alliance, each shipping company will carry out transactions (contracts) with thousands of shipping companies nationwide. As a result, indirect operations such as transportation requests, contracts, and settlements will increase dramatically. In this case, the indirect business would rather tighten the core business and its profits, so each SME cannot accept such a business alliance.

The present invention respects the uniqueness of each trader,
When the number of business operators (contracts) in each business increases, the burden of indirect business such as contract request and settlement business, which dramatically increases, is suppressed, thereby tightening the business condition of the business operators that are independent. An object of the present invention is to obtain a contract method, a contract system, a contract device, and a computer-readable recording medium that can increase the number of business partners (contractors) without the need to do so.

Another object of the present invention is to obtain a contract method, a contract system, a contract device, and a computer-readable recording medium that facilitates nationwide business alliances by carriers.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, in the contract method of the present invention, each carrier registers contract information between them in a contract database provided in the headquarters, and Based on the contract method in which each carrier makes payment or invoice based on the above, each carrier selects the package information or vehicle information registered in advance in the information database of the headquarters, or contract information already established. Is registered in the contract database, and the difference in income and expenditure calculated based on the contract information accumulated in the contract database is intervened between the headquarters managing the contract database or between the headquarters and each member. I try to settle the payment with the union that does it.

If this method is adopted, each carrier only needs to register a contract regarding the transportation of packages with other carriers as contract information in the contract database and settle it collectively. You can In addition, since it is possible to make a collective settlement between the headquarters that manages the contract database or the union intervening between the headquarters and each union member, even if a number of carriers are contracted,
The paperwork can be greatly simplified. Therefore, the transportation business can be efficiently performed in cooperation with other transportation companies, and the profit of the business can be improved.

The contract method of the present invention is a contract method in which each carrier registers contract information between them in a contract database provided at the headquarters, and based on this, each carrier makes payment or invoice. The contract information registered by each carrier is associated with each package and registered in the above contract database, and the charge allocation to each carrier is calculated based on the plurality of contract information registered in the contract database. is there.

By adopting this method, each carrier can conclude not only one-to-one contracts for each package but also one-to-other contracts without being bothered by paperwork such as charge allocation. . Therefore, even if a contract is made with a large number of shipping companies for each package, the paperwork can be significantly simplified, and the shipping business can be efficiently carried out in cooperation with other shipping companies.

According to the contract method of the present invention, a plurality of traders related to a predetermined service or product register contract information among them in a contract database provided in the head office, and based on this, the head office takes the place of the principal. A contract method of paying or billing each trader, wherein the headquarters extracts contract information of each trader from the contract database, and based on the contract information, the total payment amount, the total billing amount and the total payment amount to each trader. The difference between the total payment amount and the total billing amount is calculated, and further, the difference is settled with each trader based on the difference amount.

By adopting this method, even if each trader has contracts with a large number of traders, it is only necessary to process bills and payments based on the contracts once with the headquarters. The settlement work can be greatly simplified. Moreover, since it is only necessary to perform the settlement process based on the difference between the total payment amount and the total billing amount, it is possible to settle the entire transaction at one time, and it is possible to reduce bank transfer fees etc. It is possible to carry out efficient management.

In the contract method of the present invention, a plurality of traders related to a predetermined service or product register contract information among them in a contract database provided at the headquarters, and based on this, the headquarters does not act as the principal. Is a contract method for making payment or billing to each trader, forming a union for each of a plurality of traders, and registering the information of each trader together with the information of the union to which the trader belongs, as the contract information, , The contract information of each trader is extracted from the contract database for each union, and based on the contract information, the total amount paid to each union, the total billed amount, and the difference between the total paid amount and the total billed amount are calculated, Furthermore, based on that, the headquarters settles with each union,
Furthermore, each of the unions extracts contract information of each affiliated company from the contract database, and based on the contract information, the total payment amount, the total billed amount, and the total payment amount and the total billed amount to each vendor. The difference is calculated, and based on the difference, each union makes a settlement with each member of each union.

If this method is adopted, each trader only has to settle bills and payments with the union once, and the union only has to settle bills and payments once with the headquarters. As a result, each member of the union can perform the settlement work between the headquarters and the union, and the settlement work can be greatly simplified. Moreover, since the head office itself also carries out the settlement work with the union, the load is lighter than in the case where the settlement work is directly carried out with all the union members, and the load can be distributed well. Further, even in this union, since the reimbursement is performed only with the union members who belong to the union, it is possible to reimburse the whole as a whole, and a large reimbursement work load will not occur.

The contract method of the present invention is a contract method in which a plurality of carriers register contract information among them in a contract database, and payment and invoice are made based on the contract information.
Each carrier registers baggage information or vehicle information with its contact information in the information database, and other carriers search for baggage information or vehicle information in the information database, and if there is desired information, the relevant information is stored. After obtaining the approval of the registered transportation company, the contract processing for the contract database is performed, and further the package information or vehicle information related to the contract is deleted from the information database by the contract processing.

When this method is adopted, the shipper can efficiently notify the information of the parcels and vehicles to the other shipping companies without confirming each shipping company. Also, since the parcels and vehicles for which the contract has been established are automatically deleted, each carrier can confirm the presence or absence of the desired parcel or vehicle simply by searching for parcel information or vehicle information. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the transportation of parcels among a plurality of companies and to activate the entire industry.

Moreover, the searched dealer does not arbitrarily contract for baggage information and vehicle information, and compared with an online reservation system for trains and airline tickets in which terminals are nationwide arranged. With a simpler system than in the case, the contract system can be provided by simply starting the browser program on the terminal.

Here, the control unit 8 which operates based on the luggage / vehicle search program 26 may extract only the vehicles that match all of the above-mentioned input information, but a part of the information is used. You may In general, when the handling, vehicle shape, and even industry are used as search conditions, there may be no vehicles to be extracted. Loading date, loading place, wholesale date, wholesale land, By using only the ton vehicle as the extraction condition, the desired vehicle can be efficiently extracted without causing such a problem.

If there is a desired vehicle in the list that matches the search conditions, the union member selects the vehicle information, and a detailed display screen with the same page structure as the vehicle information registration page in FIG. 7 is displayed. It can be displayed, and detailed information for determining the suitability of the contract can be confirmed. When making a contract, the person in charge is contacted by calling the contact number displayed in the details. When the contract button 56 is operated after the approval from the other party is obtained, a request for starting the contract program 27 is transmitted from the member terminal 4 to the administration headquarters server 3, and the control unit 9 starts the operation based on the contract program 27. Then, the contract registration page is transmitted from the intranet I / F unit 8 to the member terminal 4 concerned.

FIG. 10 is an example of the contract registration page displayed on the member terminal 4. On this contract registration page, the contract registration form 65 is displayed in the right frame of the page, and is displayed in the right frame of the page in the left frame of the page /
Various buttons for selecting the process for the input information are displayed.

The union member registers his / her baggage information using the contract registration form. The information about the vehicle is transmitted in a state where the vehicle information displayed when the contract button 56 is operated is assigned. In addition, in the case where the information regarding the parcel is registered in advance on the screen of FIG. 5 and the search button 57 is operated on the information, the search is performed.
Information regarding packages is also assigned to the contract registration form 65 in advance. As a result, it is possible to reduce the input burden on the members who make a contract.

When the completion button 58 is operated after completing the input, the information entered in the contract registration form 65 is transmitted to the administration headquarters server 3, and the control unit 9 operating based on the contract program 27 stores this information. While registering in the contract database 14, the vehicle information related to the contract is deleted from the vehicle information database 13.

Further, FIG. 11 is an example of a package search page displayed on the member terminal 4. In this luggage search page, the luggage search condition input form 6 is displayed in the right frame of the page.
6 is displayed, and various buttons for selecting the process for the information displayed / input in the right frame of the page are displayed in the left frame of the page. In particular, both the prefecture name and the municipality name are displayed for the loading place, making it easy for the user to grasp the place.

Then, this package search condition input form 6
6, when a predetermined item is input and the finish button 58 is operated, the control unit 9 which operates based on the luggage / vehicle search program 26 extracts the luggage matching the input information from the luggage information database 12 and the members. It is transmitted to the terminal 4. The package list is transmitted as a list having the same page structure as the registered package list of FIG. Here, a list of registered packages is displayed as a form image. If there is a package that matches the wish in the list, the union member displays a detailed display screen with the same page structure as the package information registration page of Fig. 5 by selecting the package and the contact displayed in the details. Call the number and contact the person in charge. When the contract button 56 is operated after the approval of the other party is obtained, the temporary contract registration form having the same configuration as that of FIG. 10 is transmitted from the administration headquarters server 3 to the member terminal 4 in response.

When a predetermined item is entered in the provisional contract registration form and the completion button 58 is operated, the input information is transmitted, and the control unit 9 operating based on the provisional contract program 28 includes this response. The temporary contract information is temporarily registered in the contract database, and the package information related to the temporary contract is deleted from the package information database 12. Prior to inputting into this provisional contract registration form, if information about the vehicle is registered in advance on the screen of FIG. 7 and the contract button 56 is operated to perform a search, the information regarding the luggage and the vehicle will be displayed. Information regarding the provisional contract registration form is assigned in advance.

Further, when the vehicle and the luggage are secured in advance, the union member suddenly operates the contract button or the temporary contract button after inputting his / her registration information on the screens of FIGS. 5 and 7. By this, the contract registration form or the temporary contract registration form may be displayed, and all the information may be input here. Also in this case, the control unit 9 operating based on the contract program 27 or the temporary contract program 28 registers or temporarily registers this information in the contract database 14.

In this way, while the vehicle and baggage registration processing and contract processing are performed from each member terminal 4, when there is a timer interrupt from the timer 10, the control unit 9 starts the operation based on the update program 31. . This interruption time should be, for example, 3 am in the morning so as not to interfere with the contract work by the members.
It is advisable to set the time from midnight to early morning. Then, the control unit 9 that operates based on the update program 31
Information that has passed the loading date and time is deleted from the package information database 12 and the vehicle information database 13, and processing is performed to update the temporary contract that has passed two days (48 hours) or more from the temporary contract date and time to the main contract.

Thus, for example, when the operation headquarters 6 guarantees that the contract registered in the contract database 14 will be compensated for the accident, the cargo owner side is busy and the contract registration and confirmation work are performed. Even if it is not possible, the actual carrier can get insurance in case of emergency by temporarily registering the contract.

While the contract processing is performed by the members of the union in this way, the operation headquarters 6 and the respective unions use the respective terminals 5 and 7 to perform the contract settlement processing every predetermined period.

When the staff member of the operation headquarters 6 starts the operation headquarters terminal 7, the control unit 39 starts the operation based on the browser program 42, and first, performs the login processing to the operation headquarters server 3 via the intranet 2. Details are the same as those of the member terminal 4.

FIG. 12 shows that after such login processing,
9 is a display example of a top page displayed on the operation headquarters terminal 7. When the staff operates the settlement processing button 67 using the pointing device of the operation headquarters terminal 7 or the like, the control unit 39 operating based on the browser program 42 generates a request to activate the settlement program 30, which is the intranet I / F. It is transmitted from the department 37 to the administration headquarters server. In the operation headquarters server 3, the intranet I /
The F section 8 receives this, and the control section 9 sets the settlement program 30.
Then, the settlement processing menu page is transmitted from the intranet I / F unit 8 to the operation headquarters terminal 7.

FIG. 13 is an example of the settlement processing menu page displayed on the operation headquarters terminal 7. Here, when the staff operates the provisional settlement processing button 68 and the settlement button 69 using the pointing device or the like of the operation headquarters terminal 7, the control unit 8 which operates based on the settlement program 30 responds to the predetermined settlement by responding to the operation. The contract within a period (for example, one month) is extracted from the contract database 14 and the collective contract database 15 for each union, and the print data of the settlement list for each union is transmitted to the administration headquarters terminal 7. The staff member confirms this information on the screen of the display device, or operates the control unit 39 based on the print program 43 to cause the printer to print out.

FIG. 14 is an example of a settlement list for a certain union. In the settlement list, the details of bills and payments relating to transactions between unions are printed, and the total amount of each and the difference between the total amounts are printed as the amount of payment or the amount of bill. As a result, each union can make payments to all other unions by performing only one payment (transfer) process with the operation headquarters 6, greatly simplifying the clerical work related to payment. can do.

As for the contracts posted on this settlement list, all the contracts may be posted, but preferably, the contracts generated after the last settlement date may be posted. Also, regarding how long to contract,
Various settings are conceivable. For example, in the case of payment next month, if all contracts to be settled in the previous month are displayed separately for each settlement month, the balance and payment for each month should be made. The amount of money (the amount of money to receive) can be easily grasped.

FIG. 15 is a display example of the top page transmitted to the association terminal 5 after the login process. When the combination processing button 70 is operated using the pointing device of the combination terminal 5 or the like, a request for transmitting a page for combination processing is generated in the control unit 39 operating based on the browser program 42 in response to this, and the intranet is operated. It is transmitted from the I / F unit 37 to the administration headquarters server 3. In the operation headquarters server 3, the intranet I / F unit 8
Then, the control unit 9 starts the operation based on the settlement program 30, and the settlement processing menu page is transmitted from the intranet I / F unit 8 to the combination terminal 5.

FIG. 16 is an example of the settlement processing menu page displayed on the union terminal 5. Here, the settlement processing button 71 using the pointing device of the union terminal 5 or the like.
Is operated, the control unit 9 which operates based on the settlement program 30 responds to the contract database 14 and the collective contract database for the contract within a predetermined settlement period (for example, one month) for each member belonging to the union. The print data of the settlement list for each union member is transmitted to the union terminal 5. The association terminal 5 prints this print data using a printer.

FIG. 17 is an example of a settlement list for a certain union member. On the settlement list, the details of the claims and payments relating to the transactions of each member are printed, and the total amount of the invoice and the difference between the total amount of the payment are printed as the final amount paid or the amount invoiced. . As a result, each union member can make payment or transfer to all union members who had all other transactions by performing only one payment process or remittance process with the union. And payment operations can be greatly simplified. 14 and 17, a settlement month button may be provided to display not only the current month's settlement but also the last month's settlement. Further, the transfer date may be input and displayed. Furthermore, by printing this, it is possible to keep sales for one year and the like.

In the above description, the operation headquarter prints the settlement list for the union shown in FIG. 14 and sends it to each union, but each union may also print it independently. Further, although the union member's settlement list shown in FIG. 17 is printed by the union and transmitted to each union member, each union member may print it independently. Even if this was the case, each union would have to settle the balance of payments with the operation headquarters, and each union member would have to settle the balance of payments with each union collectively. There is no.

Next, other operations will be described.

When the union member list button 48 is operated on the top page of FIG. 4 or the like, the control unit 9 starts the operation based on the union member search program 23 in response to this, and the operation headquarters server 3 causes the union member terminal 4 to operate. The member search condition input form is sent to. When the union member inputs search conditions such as company name and address in this form and sends it, the control unit 9 operating based on the union member search program 23 searches the union member database 11 to satisfy the condition. Information of the members is transmitted to the member terminal 4 or the like. This allows
Each member can easily contact any member.

In the above description, for convenience of explanation, the case where the union terminal 5 for carrying out the union business and the union terminal 4 for carrying out the union business are separately provided has been described as an example. For example, when the union is established in the facility of the union member and the union member concurrently serves as the union, the union member terminal 4 of the union member also functions as the union terminal 5. Alternatively, one terminal may be shared by the union member and the union. With such a configuration, the number of terminals can be reduced, so that wasteful expenses can be suppressed, which is realistic.

Further, in each of the above settlement operations, each union and the administration headquarters may charge a certain percentage of fees for the operation thereof.

The above explanation is for the case where each union member arranges (contracts) all the vehicles until he / she receives the package and delivers it to the consignee.
If such arrangements are needed, each union member cannot inform the consignor when the package will arrive until the transportation route to the consignee is secured. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee the deadline.

Further, even if each carrier can stack the cargo, it is difficult to always carry the cargo with the full load of the vehicle in a pile, and the profit can be maximized by the efficient transportation. It is hard to be like.

Next, a joint delivery management method capable of solving such a problem will be described as a second embodiment. Under this system, basically, the parcels handled by each union member are collected under the union member who has obtained the permission of the transportation business called the transportation business (hereinafter, the union member having this function is called the center). It is operated under the rule that items are delivered within a predetermined time by other members via other centers. In addition, each center cannot refuse the delivery if there is a request from a member who belongs to that center by a predetermined time (hereinafter, the center that accepts this request is called the originating center), Once the request is received (hereinafter, the center that receives the request from the originating center is called the destination center), it operates under the rule that it must be delivered by a predetermined time.

Under these rules, a shipper (union member) who has received a package can confirm the delivery time of the package to the sender only by performing confirmation processing and request processing for the center. it can. Further, in the case of the joint delivery according to the second embodiment, it is possible to handle a medium-lot package of about 500 kg to 2 t. In addition, it is preferable that within a predetermined distance from the origin center, for example, within 150 km, only the origin center responds, and if it is 200 km or more, both the origin center and the destination center correspond. In the range of 150 km to 200 km, it is preferable to determine which center is to be handled according to the location of each district or each center.

First, the union member who has received the package from the shipper does not register the package as package information, but after registering as a collective contract after confirming the telephone with the union member functioning as the center. .

FIG. 18 is a collective contract menu screen transmitted to the cooperative member terminal 4 by the control unit 9 operating based on the collective contract program 29 in response to the operation of the collective contract button 50 on the cooperative member terminal 4. The collective contract menu screen is also transmitted to the member terminal 4 in response to the operation of the joint vehicle allocation processing button 72 on the member terminal 4 in the center.

Then, on this screen, when the union member operates the settlement information registration button 73 of the main contract work, the collective contract screen illustrated in FIG. 19 is transmitted from the administration headquarters server 3 to the union member terminal 4. Here, the union member who is the prime contractor is
Consignee information, consignor information, package type, collection date / time, delivery date / time, product type, notes, capacity, total weight, zone, size,
Register baggage information such as fare. Also, the calculation button 58
By operating, the control unit 9, which operates based on the fare calculation program 32, allocates the fare to the prime contractor and the originating center at a predetermined ratio based on the information in the fare database 17 and the distance database 16, and these are respectively assigned. It is displayed in the price column of.

The control unit 9 which operates based on the fare calculation program 32, for example, when the service is such that the delivery charge is constant based on the handling of the package, a fixed charge is applied. With reference to the package database 19, the charge allocation of each carrier is displayed in the charge column in a charge system in which a fixed charge is distributed for each role. In this case, in particular, when the collection center itself arranges a delivery company, the wages received by the collection company are distributed to the trunk line carrier and other centers, so that the delivery company can carry out the delivery work without distinction between itself and other unions. It is good to do so.

When the send button 74 is operated,
The information entered in this collective contract screen is transmitted from the union member terminal 4 to the administration headquarters server 3, and the collective contract program 29
The control unit 9, which operates based on the above, registers this information in the collective contract database 15.

[0177] Next, at the calling center that receives the telephone contact, the delivery terminal of the parcel is arranged using the union member terminal 4.
Specifically, when the main contractor does not bring it to the originating center, a collector is arranged and a delivery company is arranged to deliver it to the consignee. Of course, the collector and the delivery company may be the same union member. Also, if the delivery process cannot be carried out within one's own union, the consignee is searched for another center in a deliverable area and the delivery is requested. If the location of this other center is not within your own delivery area, a separate trunk line carrier will be arranged. When these arrangements are completed, the joint vehicle allocation processing button 72 is operated on the union member terminal 4, and further the contract confirmation / correction button 75 for the local contractor business is operated on the collective contract menu screen to relate to the arranged center or union member. Add the information to the bulk contract screen that you received and send it. This information is used by the control unit 9 that operates based on the collective contract program 29.
Is processed and updated and registered on the record having the same package information in the collective contract database 15. 20. If the affiliated trunk line carrier inquiry button 76 is operated, FIG.
The affiliated trunk carrier list illustrated in FIG. 1 is read from the affiliated trunk carrier database 18 and transmitted to the member terminal 4.
Each center can confirm the dealer on this screen and arrange a desired trunk carrier by telephone or the like. In the trunk carrier list of FIG. 20, a plurality of trunk carriers are classified and displayed based on the origin and landing in each region so that the trunk carrier can be easily selected.

At the other center (destination center) that has received the request from the originating center, after the delivery company is arranged according to the request, the contract confirmation correction button for the regional business is displayed on the collective contract menu screen. Operate 77 to input additional information about the arranged center and union members and send it. This information is processed by the control unit 9 which operates based on the collective contract program 29, and is updated and registered in the record including the same package information in the collective contract database 15.

The requested trunk line carrier and the delivery / delivery company also operate the respective contract confirmation / correction buttons 78 on the collective contract menu screen to additionally input their own information and to make a predetermined entry in the collective contract database 15. You can update the record with your luggage information. After delivering to the consignee, the collection and delivery company registers the time of completion of shipment and the presence or absence of an accident.

The contract between a plurality of union members registered in the collective contract database 15 is the contract database 1
Settlement is done collectively with the information registered in 4.
Therefore, even though the parcels are actually delivered by the cooperation of a plurality of union members, each union member guarantees that the parcel will be delivered only by contacting the originating center to which he / she belongs. Moreover, the settlement process can be collectively processed together with other contracts, and the cost and time required for the arrangement work and the settlement work can be significantly reduced.

In each of the above embodiments, the intranet 2 is used as the net network, but an open net network such as the Internet may be adopted. Further, the administration headquarters database 1 may be arranged not in one place but in a plurality of places dispersed or multiplexed.
Further, it is preferable that the total amount paid, the total amount charged, and the difference amount thereof are described in the bill and the notification, but only the difference amount may be described.

The joint transportation settlement system shown in each of the above-described embodiments is for carrying out luggage and vehicle arrangements and settlement operations based on the luggage information and vehicle information registered by each union member.
In addition, when each union member makes a contract based on this information, it is always ruled that a contract is made after confirming by telephone or the like. Therefore, this joint transportation settlement system does not force each union member to enter into a contract that each member cannot process, let alone impair the originality of the management policy of each union member. Not only that, but it also achieves a high degree of cooperation in operations without damaging the independent management of such union members.

As shown in the present embodiment, in the contract system of the present invention, only the browser program 42 is stored in the union member terminal 4 and the union terminal 5, and the browser program 42 is displayed in the window associated with the browser program 42. All the various data and input forms are written in a multi-platform programming language such as JAVA (registered trademark) and transmitted from the operation headquarters server 3, so that any operating system can be used. Even if there is, it can be used as these terminals 4 and 5. Moreover, even if there is a system design change, it is no longer necessary to distribute new software to each member or to have each member consciously install the software. Since it can be reflected in real time, the maintainability is significantly improved. Moreover, since the change of the program is reflected on all the terminals 4 and 5 in real time, the system update process can be directly executed as needed.

Further, in this embodiment, not only the union member who is the shipper can make a contract for the transportation of the package, but also the shipping company can make a tentative contract with the approval of the shipper. Members will search for luggage or vehicles as appropriate for each situation, and the flow of luggage can be smoothed, and a large amount of luggage can be jointly transported. At the same time, in the present embodiment, not only new contracts for searched luggage and vehicles but also those already contracted by telephone etc. are registered in the operation headquarters server 3, and this is bundled together with other contracts. Can be settled. Therefore, the burden on each union member can be further reduced.

In the present embodiment, since each union member terminal 4 performs contract processing and settlement processing with the operation headquarters server 3, for example, the union of the union to which the union member who uses the terminal 4 belongs. Even if the terminal 5 breaks down, it does not hinder each work. Therefore, the reliability of each member terminal 4 can be improved. Further, in this embodiment, the processing that can be performed by the union member terminal 4 and the processing that can be performed by the union terminal 5 are clearly different, but each processing can be similarly performed on other terminals. You may set it. In this case, in particular, some of the registration functions may be managed by the administration headquarters server 3 side so as not to react even if the displayed buttons are operated.

Although the embodiment described above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, in this embodiment,
The union and the center are set up on the premise that there are many union members, and on the premise that they will carry out joint transportation by the center function. However, the operation headquarters 6 will simply settle the contract between the two companies. If only for the purpose,
The union and the union terminal 5 may be omitted. In this case, the administration headquarters 6 may directly settle each union member. Also,
Although the union terminal 5 realizes the center function, the union terminal 4 may of course realize the center function.

[0187]

According to the present invention, while respecting the uniqueness of each trader, when the number of traders (contracts) in each trader increases dramatically, the number of indirect operations such as contract requests and settlement operations increases.
