Description

  The present invention is a sales data management server suitable for grasping and analyzing sales results after recommendation for each product recommended by a sales recommender who recommends sales of products in a store, The present invention relates to a sales data management system, a sales data management program, and a sales data management method.

  In retail stores such as drug stores, it is widely used to collect and analyze sales information of products by introducing a POS system, which is used for inventorying and purchasing efficiency. In addition, in order to grasp purchase trends for each customer and recommend products that meet customer preferences, the customer is identified by a membership card such as a point card and the purchase history for each customer is analyzed. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  Even if the customer's purchasing tendency and preferences are analyzed based on the purchase history, etc., and the product that should be recommended can be identified, in order to link it to the sale of the product at the store, incentives such as discounts are given to the customer. It is desirable to give. Therefore, there are many retail stores in which a device (for example, see Patent Document 2) that issues coupon coupons for discounting the purchase price of a specific product for a product that is recommended to a customer is installed in the store.

  By the way, as a form of retail store operation, there may be arranged a sales recommender who explains the product and recommends the sale to the sales floor in the store separately from the cashier in charge of selling the product at the cash register. There are many so-called “recommended products” and “recommended products” that need to find customers who have needs that match the value that the products can provide, convey the value of the products to customers, and make them understand. This is an operation form often seen in drugstores.

  These products are expensive to explain until the first purchase, but if you can properly recommend a product that meets your needs, they will be purchased repeatedly on a regular basis, leading to medium- to long-term revenue for retailers. Probability is high. For this reason, these recommended products are considered to be products that retailers should focus on selling, but in order to strengthen their sales, it is necessary to appropriately understand the contribution of sales recommenders to recommended sales and recommend sales. A mechanism for fair evaluation of employees is required.

  Specifically, whether the product recommended by the sales recommender led to the customer's first purchase, and whether or not the same customer continuously purchased the same product after the initial purchase, and linked to the evaluation If possible, it is not just a one-time sale, but a sale that allows you to properly recommend products that truly meet customer needs and contribute to the medium- to long-term profits of retailers. It should be possible to give incentives to recommenders.

  On the other hand, if a system for analyzing purchase history for each customer as in Patent Document 1 is used, it is possible to grasp the purchase record of the customer for a specific product, but the product was recommended first. If you are a general POS system, you can grasp the cashier who made the first checkout, but recommended sales in places where recommended sales items are displayed in the store. The recommender cannot be identified. The coupon output device as in Patent Document 2 can be used as an incentive for a customer to purchase a specific product, but cannot be used to identify a sales recommender.

  The present invention has been made in order to cope with such a problem, and for each product recommended by a sales recommender, the sales performance after recommendation is recommended for a product recommended by the customer by a sales recommender who recommends the sale of the product in the store. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sales data management server, a sales data management system, a sales data management program, and a sales data management method suitable for grasping and analyzing.

  The present invention that solves such a problem is connected by a network to an in-store terminal operated by a sales recommender who recommends sales of products in the store and a cash register terminal operated by a cashier in charge of receiving the price of the products to be sold. A sales data management server for each recommendation of a product to a customer by a sales recommender, a recommender code that identifies the sales recommender, a customer code that identifies the customer who recommended the product, and a product that identifies the recommended product A recommendation history storage means for storing a recommendation history including a code, and a purchase history for storing a purchase history including a customer code for identifying a customer who purchased the product and a product code for identifying the purchased product for each purchase of the product by the customer When receiving recommendation information of a product including a recommender code, a customer code, and a product code from the storage means and the in-store terminal, the customer code and the product The purchase history storage means is searched using a combination of service codes as a key, and if there is no purchase history corresponding to the combination of the customer code and the product code, the recommender code included in the recommended information received from the in-store terminal The recommended history writing means for writing the recommended history including the customer code and the product code in the recommended history storage means in a pending status, and the purchase information of the product including the customer code and the product code received from the cash register terminal, Purchasing history writing means for writing as a new purchasing history in the purchasing history storing means, and the recommended history storing means by using a combination of a customer code and a product code of the purchasing history written as a new purchasing history in the purchasing history storage means And there is a recommended history of the pending status including the customer code and the product code, the recommended history The recommended history update means for updating the valid state status from pending a sales data management server, characterized in that it comprises a.

  In the present invention, a store terminal that is operated by a sales recommender who recommends the sale of a product and a cash register terminal that is operated by a cashier in charge of receiving the price of the product to be sold are installed in a store that sells the product. Information relating to product recommendation to the customer by the sales recommender is received from the in-store terminal, and if the product has no purchase history of the customer, this information is held in a pending state as a recommended history. Information on products purchased by customers accepted from cash register terminals is stored as purchase history, but if the purchase of products for which the recommended history is in a pending state is confirmed, sales are made possible by enabling the pending recommended history. The recommendation history by the recommender is recorded as valid information. By accumulating the recommendation history and purchase history as described above, it is possible to identify the sales recommender who recommended the product first to the customer for the purchase history of the customer's product. It is possible to grasp and analyze the sales results for each sales recommender.

  Embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. The following configuration, data flow, data content, and the like are examples of the embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment.

  FIG. 1 shows an outline of an example of an embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, in a store such as a drug store that sells merchandise including recommended merchandise, an in-store terminal operated by a sales recommender who recommends sales of the merchandise and a cashier who accepts the price of the merchandise sold are operated. Cash register terminals are installed, and each is connected to a sales data management server according to the present invention via a network.

  In the store, recommended sales items are displayed as a part of the products to be sold, and apart from the cashier who accepts the price of the products at the cash register terminal, the sales recommender for explaining the recommended sales items to the customer is recommended sales. It is placed in the corner where the goods are displayed. The sales recommender explains the recommended sales items displayed to the customer, and when the customer is interested and indicates the intention to purchase, the customer recommends moving to the location of the terminal in the store with the customer (the recommended sales items are displayed). The terminal inside the store may be located), and the terminal inside the store is operated.

  For in-store terminals, a product code that identifies a product such as a JAN code from a barcode attached to the product, a customer code that identifies a customer from a membership card such as a point card, and a sales recommender from an employee card such as an employee card Each of the recommender codes for identifying is read and transmitted to the sales data management server. The sales data management server refers to the database in which the purchase history is stored to check whether the customer has purchased the recommended product in the past. When this is the first purchase, these data are used as the recommended history database. In addition, the coupon is temporarily registered in the on-hold state, and a coupon with an incentive such as a discount that can be used for purchasing the product is output to the in-store terminal.

  The sales recommender provides the output coupon to the customer, and the customer moves to the cash register with the product and the coupon. The cashier in charge different from the sales recommender operates the cashier terminal to identify the product code that identifies the product such as the JAN code from the product, the product code that identifies the product to which the incentive is given from the coupon, the point card or the like The customer code for identifying the customer from the membership card is read, and the person in charge code for identifying the cashier person in charge is read from the employee card or the like. At the cash register terminal, the product code read from the product and the product code read from the coupon are collated, and if they match, the price of the product is calculated in consideration of the discount by the coupon.

  The product code, customer code, and person-in-charge code read at the cash register terminal are stored in the sales data management server as POS data along with information such as the time when the product was sold (purchase time) and the sales price (purchase price) of the product. Sent to. The sent POS data is stored in the database as a purchase history, but when the purchase of a product that is temporarily registered in the recommended history is on hold is confirmed, the recommended history in the hold state is validated. The recommendation history by the sales recommender is recorded as effective information.

  In the present invention, by storing the recommended history and the purchase history in the database as described above, if the recommended history is referred to the purchase history of the product, the sales recommender who first recommended the product to the customer is specified. Therefore, it is possible to grasp and analyze the sales performance after recommending recommended products for each sales recommender who recommended the products.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of a sales data management system including a sales data management server, an in-store terminal, and a cash register terminal according to the present invention.

  In FIG. 2, the sales data management server 10 is connected to the in-store terminal 20 and the cash register terminal 30 via a network. The type of network to which these are connected is not particularly limited as long as it is a network capable of data communication, and may be the Internet or a dedicated line.

  The sales data management server 10 is a server computer capable of data communication with a terminal connected to a network, and its physical configuration is not particularly limited. However, the sales data management server 10 is an auxiliary storage such as a CPU, a main memory, and an HDD. A general computer equipped with the device can be used. The predetermined function in the sales data management server 10 is realized by calling an application program stored in the auxiliary storage device into the main memory and performing arithmetic processing by the CPU.

  The coupon issuing unit 13, the recommended history writing unit 14, the purchase history writing unit 15, the recommended history confirmation unit 16, and the recommended performance analysis unit 17 provided in the sales data management server 10 are all functionally specified. An application program corresponding to the function of each unit is called from the auxiliary storage device such as the HDD to the main memory, and a predetermined function is realized by performing arithmetic processing by the CPU.

  Each of the purchase history database 11 and the recommended history database 12 provided in the sales data management server 10 is assigned a predetermined storage area of an auxiliary storage device such as an HDD, but these must be provided in one computer. However, a part or all of the information may be provided in another computer such as a database server, which is different from the server computer that executes the application program described above.

  Although the kiosk terminal etc. provided with the touch panel should just be used for the terminal 20 in a shop, the structure will not be specifically limited if it is a terminal device in which the data communication with the sales data management server 10 is possible. The in-store terminal 20 is provided with a coupon output unit 22 that executes a process of outputting a coupon such as a paper medium, in addition to the communication control unit 21 that controls data communication with the sales data management server 10.

  The cash register terminal 30 may be a commonly used POS cash register terminal. The cash register terminal 30 includes a POS data transmission unit 31 that transmits POS data, which is sales information of a product. It is good also as providing the coupon collation part 32 which judges propriety.

  Based on the above configuration, the flow of processing at the time of product recommendation by the sales data management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 and the flowchart of FIG.

  In the store where recommended sales items are displayed, the sales recommender explains one of the recommended sales items to the customer, and when the customer shows interest in the product, the sales recommender uses it for discounts when purchasing the product for the first time. In order to obtain a coupon that can be used, the in-store terminal 20 is operated. The in-store terminal 20 is provided with a reader that reads predetermined information from a bar code, a two-dimensional code, an IC chip, etc., and a sales recommender identifies a product such as a JAN code from a bar code attached to the product. The in-store terminal 20 is made to read the customer code for identifying the customer from the membership card such as a point card and the recommender code for identifying the sales recommender from the employee card such as an employee card. These codes may not be read from a card or the like using a reader, but may be input entirely or partially using a keyboard or the like.

  When predetermined information is read by the in-store terminal 20, the communication control unit 21 is activated, and as shown in FIG. 3, these data are transmitted to the sales data management server 10 via the network. In the sales data management server 10 that has received these data, the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is executed.

  First, when data relating to product recommendation including a product code, customer code, and recommender code is received from the in-store terminal 20 (S01), the coupon issuing unit 13 is activated, and the received product is received as shown in FIG. The purchase history database 11 is searched using the combination of the code and the customer code as a key (S02). The purchase history database 11 stores the history of products purchased by the customer in the past. By searching for this, it is confirmed whether or not the customer has purchased the recommended product in the past. It is possible.

  When there is a purchase history for the product recommended by the customer in the past, that is, when a purchase history corresponding to the combination of the received product code and the customer code is found by the search (S03), the product recommended by the customer is Since it is not the product purchased for the first time, it is returned to the in-store terminal 20 that the coupon is not issued (S06). If the product has been purchased in the past, even if the customer subsequently purchases the product, it cannot be counted as a result of purchasing the product for the first time after being recommended to the customer. It is not registered as a new recommendation history.

  On the other hand, when there is no purchase history in the past for the product recommended by the customer, that is, when the purchase history corresponding to the combination of the received product code and customer code is not hit by the search (S03), it is shown in FIG. As described above, the data including the received product code, customer code, and recommender code and associating them is written by the recommendation history writing unit 13 into the recommendation history database 12 as a new recommendation history with a pending status. Temporarily registered (S04).

  Here, the method of holding a new recommendation history with a pending status is not particularly limited, but the recommendation of recommended sales items should be counted as recommended results only when the product is purchased. If the recommended history is set to be valid by writing the initial purchase date of the product, the recommended history can be handled as a pending status by leaving the field of the initial purchase date blank.

  Furthermore, since it has been confirmed that the product recommended by the customer is the product to be purchased for the first time, a coupon (first special coupon) with an incentive such as a discount that can be used for purchasing the product is issued. As shown, it returns to the in-store terminal 20 (S05).

  The method for issuing the coupon is not particularly limited, but it is necessary to be able to specify the product code of the product targeted by the coupon. For example, the product code or discount price of the product targeted for the discount Data for outputting a two-dimensional code in which information such as a discount condition such as a coupon expiration date is embedded may be generated and transmitted to the in-store terminal 20.

  Also, the incentives given to the first special coupon issued are not limited to discounts on products to be purchased.For example, free gifts for other products, bonus points on point cards, etc. Incentives other than discounts may be adopted as long as they are incentives to purchase products.

  Next, the flow of processing at the time of selling products by the sales data management system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The cash register terminal 30 is provided with a reader that reads predetermined information from a bar code, a two-dimensional code, an IC chip, etc., and a cashier person identifies a product such as a JAN code from a bar code attached to the product. The product code that identifies the product to be discounted from the two-dimensional code displayed on the initial special coupon, the customer code that identifies the customer from the membership card such as a point card, the employee card, etc. The person-in-charge code for identifying the person in charge of the cash register is read from the employee card by the cashier terminal 30, respectively. These codes may not be read from a card or the like using a reader, but may be input entirely or partially using a keyboard or the like.

  In the cash register terminal 30, the coupon verification unit 32 is activated, and as shown in FIG. 6, the product code read from the product and the product code read from the first special coupon are verified. When these product codes match, the cashier terminal 30 calculates the price of the product to be sold in consideration of the discount by the first special coupon.

  Here, the method of calculating the discount amount at the cash register terminal 30 is not particularly limited, and information regarding the discount conditions such as the discount amount and the discount rate is embedded in the two-dimensional code or the like displayed on the first special coupon, It is good also as reading this, and it is good also as setting discount conditions in the coupon collation part 32 beforehand. An expiration date may be set for the first special coupon, and if the expiration date read from a two-dimensional code or the like has passed, no discount is applied and the coupon is sold at a normal price.

  When the price reflecting the first special coupon is determined and the cashier in charge receives the price from the customer, the POS data transmission unit 31 is activated, and as shown in FIG. 6, the product code, point card, etc. read from the product POS data (purchase information) including the customer code read from the member card, the person-in-charge code identifying the person in charge of the cash register read from the employee card such as an employee ID card, etc. ) Is transmitted from the cashier terminal 30 to the sales data management server 10 via the network.

  In general, the POS data (purchase information) includes a person-in-charge code for identifying the person in charge of the cash register as described above. In the present invention, the sales data management server 10 identifies the person in charge of the cashier. It is not always necessary to include the person-in-charge code in the data transmitted to the sales data management server 10 here.

  In addition, although it has been described that the product code collation for determining whether discount is possible is performed at the cash register terminal 30, the product code collation may be executed on the sales data management server 10 side, in which case the sales data The POS data (purchase information) transmitted to the management server 10 includes both the product code read from the product and the product code read from the first special coupon, and the function corresponding to the coupon verification unit 32 is sales data management. The server 10 is provided.

  By the way, even if the product code read from the product does not match the product code read from the first special coupon or the customer cannot present the first special coupon due to loss, etc. The sale itself is possible. When the product is sold, as described above, when the customer purchases the product at the cash register terminal 30, the POS data transmission unit 31 is activated and the product code read from the product, the customer code read from the membership card such as a point card, etc. The POS data (purchase information) including the person-in-charge code that identifies the person in charge of the cash register read from the employee card such as the employee ID card, the date and time (purchase date and time) when the price was received, the received amount, etc. It is transmitted to the sales data management server 10 via the network.

  In the sales data management server 10 that has received the POS data (purchase information) from the cash register terminal 30 via the network, the purchase history writing unit 15 is activated, and the purchase history generated from the received POS data (purchase information) is purchased. It is written in the history database 11. Here, the purchase history stored in the purchase history database 11 is not different from that used in a general POS system, and the data format is not particularly limited. Must contain customer code.

  Next, the flow of processing when confirming the recommended sales performance by the sales data management server according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 8 and the flowchart of FIG.

  The sales data management server 10 confirms the results of recommended sales about whether or not the recommended products were actually purchased by the customer with respect to the recommended history temporarily registered in the recommended history database 12 from the recommended sales product recommendation time. Therefore, the recommended history confirmation unit 16 is activated at a predetermined timing.

  Here, the timing at which the recommended history confirmation unit 16 is activated is not particularly limited. The recommendation history confirmation unit 16 may be activated periodically such as once a day or once a week. It may be activated each time data (purchase information) is received and a purchase history is written, or may be manually activated by operating the input / output device 18 by the sales data manager.

  The processing flow executed by the recommended history confirmation unit 16 is as shown in the flowchart of FIG. The most recent purchase history from the purchase history database 11, that is, the purchase history written in the purchase history database 11 after the previous recommended history confirmation unit 16 is activated is read (S 11), and as shown in FIG. The recommended history database 12 is searched using the combination of the product code and the customer code included in the purchase history as a key (S12).

  When there is a recommended history in which the combination of the product code and the customer code matches in the recommended history database 12, it is confirmed whether or not the recommended history is in a pending status (S13). Updates the status to a valid state (S14).

  Here, the method for activating the pending status is not particularly limited, but, as exemplified above, the recommended history is treated as the pending status by leaving the fields such as the initial purchase date blank. As shown in FIG. 8, the recommended history can be validated by writing the purchase date specified from the purchase date and time recorded in the purchase history as the first purchase date in this field. it can.

  In the above example, “Initial purchase date” is written, but the unit for specifying the initial purchase point of time recorded here is not limited to “Day”, but the initial purchase is made in units of weeks or hours. The time point may be specified. Further, the recommendation history may be validated by another method such as setting a flag indicating that it is valid.

  If there is no recommended history in the recommended history database 12 that matches the combination of the product code and customer code of the retrieved purchase history, or if it exists but is in a valid status rather than pending, the most recent purchase history If there is another purchase history, the same processing is repeated (S15), and if there is no purchase history, the recommended sales performance confirmation processing is terminated. If the recommended history confirmation unit 16 is activated every time POS data (purchase information) is received and the purchase history is written, there is no other purchase history, so the processing ends here.

  As described above, the purchase history is stored in the purchase history database 11 and the recommended history of recommended products sold by the sales recommender is recorded in the recommended history database 12. On the other hand, by referring to the recommendation history, it is possible to identify the sales recommender who first recommended the product to the customer. That is, when the sales data manager operates the input / output device 18 to start the recommended performance analysis unit 17, the purchase history database 11 and the recommended history database 12 are searched to analyze the results of recommended sales by the sales recommender. can do.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of this. When it is desired to grasp whether or not the recommended sales item subsequently leads to continuous purchase with respect to the recommended history stored in the recommended history database 12 with a valid status. When the purchase history database 11 is searched using the combination of the customer code and the product code recorded in the recommendation history as a key, it is grasped from the corresponding purchase history how much the recommended sales have been subsequently connected to the purchase. It becomes possible.

  On the other hand, if you want to identify the recommended sales product that a customer has purchased continuously, if you want to identify the sales recommender who recommended that product, the purchase history of the recommended sales product that a customer has continuously purchased is included. On the other hand, when the recommended history database 12 is searched using the combination of the customer code of the customer and the product code of the recommended sales item as a key, the recommended sale is first made to the customer from the recommender code recorded in the corresponding recommended history. It is possible to identify the sales recommender who recommended the product.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately grasp the results of recommended sales for each sales recommender. However, the customer code and the product code of the recommended sales item are used as search keys. It is not limited to the combination, but by using only one of them, the sales performance for a specific customer can be aggregated from the customer's customer code without limiting the product, or the recommended sales product without limiting the customer It is also possible to aggregate sales results of specific products from the code.
