For example, when the display range identification information 13 and the product identification information are both bar codes, when the employee displays the product, the display range identification information 13 attached to the display range in which the product is displayed is displayed. The product is read by a barcode reader, and then the product identification information attached to the product is read by the barcode reader, and the number of products to be displayed is input. Thus, the display range, the product, and the number of display items are associated with each other. Thereafter, when the commodity display registration means 4 receives the information from the barcode reader, the information can be registered in the display database 9.
[0060]
After the product is displayed, when the consumer purchases the product, the sales are recorded in the POS system 10 that records the movement (sales) of the product (S130). At this time, it is received that the movement information receiving means 5 has moved (sold) the goods from the POS system 10 via the network 12, and the movement number is subtracted from the display number of the goods registered in the display database 9 ( S140).
[0061]
For example, when the display range identification information 13 is 100, the product identification information of the product displayed on the display furniture is 999, and the number of displayed products is 10, three POS products 10 When the user moves (sells), the movement information receiving unit 5 receives the product identification information 999 and three pieces of movement information from the POS system 10, and the movement information receiving unit 5 reads the product identification information from the display database 9. The information 999 is searched, and the number of corresponding displays is reduced from ten to three to change to seven.
[0062]
After the movement information receiving unit 5 subtracts the display number of the product according to the movement information, the display number of the product is compared with the designated number (S150). 11 or the merchandise management system 1 notifies that the merchandise is insufficient (S160).
[0063]
In this case, when the number of displayed products having the moved product identification information is reduced, the number is compared with the designated number. If the number of displayed products is less than the specified number, the product identification information and the product identification Based on the display range identification information 13 corresponding to the information, the relevant product name is extracted from the product identification information database 8, and the relevant display range and its location are extracted from the display range identification information database 7. And the display range, its location, and the number of missing goods.
[0064]
For example, when the display number of the product of the product identification information 999 is ten and the designated number is three, when the movement information receiving unit 5 receives the movement information obtained by moving the nine products of the product identification information 999, the display is performed. Since the display number of the product identification information 999 registered in the database 9 is one, which is equal to or less than the designated number, the product shortage notifying unit 6 sends the product name of the product identification information 999 from the product identification information database 8 to the product name. The display range identification information 13 corresponding to the identification information 999, for example, 100, extracts the display range of the product in the display furniture and the location thereof from the display range identification information database 7 and notifies the same.
[0065]
If the user wishes to browse the display status of the products in the store, the store terminal 11 accesses the display status via the network 12, and the display status recording means 14 accesses the display database 9 and the display range identification information. The display status of the products displayed at the store is extracted from the database 7 and the product identification information database 8 and transmitted to the store terminal 11 for viewing. The browsing screen at this time is shown in FIGS. FIG. 4 is a screen showing the sales of products on a text basis, and FIG. 5 is a screen showing the display range in the store and the display status by color coding or the like.
