As such a computer device, for example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like can be used.

<Exhibition cooperation processing>
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the cooperation processing for listings at a plurality of EC sites in the present embodiment. Here, as an example, a processing flow in which a merchandise item that the seller has exhibited on the EC site A is also exhibited on the EC site B is shown.

  First, in step S101, the exhibition information acquisition unit 1011 acquires information on a product that is exhibited on the EC site A from the exhibition information providing unit 2012 of the management server 2a. The product information here includes, for example, an ID for specifying a product on the EC site A, a product name, a description of the product, a sales price, the number of stocks, a weight, assigned category information, a JAN code, a new / Used types, product images, shipping methods, and the like can be mentioned, but it is not necessary to include all such information, and it is sufficient if it includes at least information required for subsequent processing. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which acquires other information as information of goods.

  In step S102, the exclusion unit 1013 confirms whether or not the product for which information has been acquired in step S101 is a target for exclusion on the EC site B. Here, for example, the product name and type to be excluded, the keyword included in the product description, the JAN code, etc. are designated in advance in the excluded product information storage unit 106, and the information acquired in step S101. It is possible to determine whether or not the product is a target for exclusion. Here, for example, a product of a type that is prohibited from being sold under the terms of the EC site B, or a product that is described as limited sale only on the EC site A in the name or description of the product is excluded. It is possible to set a condition such as.

  If it is determined in step S102 that the item is not an exclusion target, the process proceeds to step S103, and the product category to be given at the time of listing on the EC site B is set. This is a process for dealing with a mismatch of category systems among a plurality of EC sites. For example, in the case where “Liquid Crystal TV” is listed as a product, the appropriate category to be given is the “Home Appliance / AV Device” category on the EC site A, and the “TV / Audio” category on the EC site B. Information that these categories correspond is recorded in the category correspondence storage unit 107 in advance. Then, the category to be set in the EC site B is specified with reference to the category correspondence storage unit 107 based on the category information given to the product in the EC site A acquired in step S101.

  In addition to setting the category, information such as a product code for specifying a product on each EC site, a brand code for specifying a manufacturer brand of the product, and a purchase by purchasing the product are given to the purchaser. As for the point magnification, etc., the correspondence relationship between the values set in each EC site is stored in advance, and an appropriate value for listing on the EC site B is set based on the settings in the EC site A as in the case of the category. Preferably configured to be set.

  Further, for example, on the EC site A, the content set in the item “product description” as the description of the product from the seller should be set in the item “product overview” on the EC site B. It is assumed that each EC site has items that have different item names but are to be set with similar values. As described above, it is preferable that the corresponding items are stored in advance, and values for the items can be automatically set.

  As described above, after the acquisition of the product information in step S101 and the setting of the category in step S103 are completed, the exhibition unit 1012 performs the exhibition of the product on the EC site B by the exhibition reception unit 2011 of the management server 2b. Complete the linkage process for the listing. In addition, when the exhibition process in step S104 is completed, or when the product is an object to be excluded in step S102 and the process of performing the exhibition is terminated, the seller of the product (the seller terminal device 3 used) is transferred to. The notification may be made by any method.

  It should be noted that the exhibition linkage processing described here may be configured to be performed for any product according to a seller's instruction or the like, or each user recorded in the seller information storage unit 104 may be set to the EC site A. It is good also as a structure which carries out sequentially by a periodic process with respect to all the goods sent to.

  In addition, when information about the product on the EC site A is acquired in step S101 or when the product is displayed on the EC site B in step S104, the product information is stored in the product information storage unit 105. It is preferable to record the presence / absence of listings on the EC site and avoid the duplication of listings of products on the EC site B.

  Here, the process of performing the exhibition of the product to be exhibited on the EC site A to the EC site B is shown, but the management server 2b is also applicable to the case of performing the exhibition of the product to be exhibited on the EC site B to the EC site A. By using the exhibition information providing means 2012 and the exhibition receiving means 2011 of the management server 2a, the same can be done.

<Inventory / Price Linkage Processing>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the linked processing of the inventory quantity and price at a plurality of EC sites in the present embodiment. Here, as an example, a flow of processing is shown in which the number of stocks and prices of a certain product that the seller is exhibiting on the EC site A is reflected in the same product that is exhibited on the EC site B. That is, after the product that has been listed on the EC site A is also listed on the EC site B by the processing described above with reference to FIG. 4, the sale of the product from the EC site A and the operation of the seller Alternatively, when there is a change in the number of goods in stock or the price at the EC site A due to the processing by the management server 2a or the like, this is also reflected in the EC site B.

  First, in step S201, the inventory quantity / price acquisition unit 1021 acquires the inventory quantity and price of the product from the inventory quantity / price provision unit 2022 of the management server 2a. Then, in step S202, it is confirmed whether or not the product that is the target of the inventory quantity / price cooperation process is the inventory quantity / price adjustment target. Here, the adjustment means that the setting of the number of products in stock and the price at the EC site A is different from the setting at the EC site B based on information about the product.

  For example, after the decrease in the number of inventory due to sales at the EC site A, the actual sales can be performed at that time as compared to the number of inventory at the EC site B until the inventory number and price linkage processing described here is performed. The number of stocks will be less. It is assumed that the difference between the stock quantity at EC site B and the actual stock quantity will increase if it is a product that sells very well at EC site A. The order quantity received at EC site B is the actual stock quantity. There is a risk of exceeding the number and not being able to sell due to insufficient inventory. For this reason, for products that sell well on EC site A, the number of stocks at the sale of EC site B is set by setting a smaller value than the actual number of stocks for EC site B. The risk of shortage can be reduced.

  Here, as an index of the sales of the product on the EC site A, when the EC site A provides the sales number ranking of the product, the integrated management server 1 acquires the information. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which information such as the number of units sold per unit time is calculated and determined from the transition of the number of inventory at the EC site A acquired by the inventory number / price acquisition unit 1021.

  In addition, it is assumed that it is desired to set different prices due to the difference in sales measures between EC site A and EC site B. For example, on EC site A, many sellers set the price including shipping costs as the selling price of the product and display it as “free shipping”, while on EC site B, many sellers charge shipping costs. Is set separately, and the price is set so that the selling price of the product itself is as low as possible. In such a case, if the selling price (including the postage) at the EC site A is reflected on the EC site B as it is, the selling price may be higher than other sellers. On the contrary, if the price of the EC site A is set in advance based on the price displayed on the EC site B (by shipping cost), the shipping cost is insufficient, and the profit from sales at the EC site A is reduced.

  On the other hand, by making adjustments such as subtracting the shipping cost from the price sold at EC site A and including the shipping fee, and setting it as the price to be sold separately by shipping fee at EC site B, sales at both EC sites are effective. Can be done.

  In order to adjust the stock quantity and price, conditions are determined in advance for each seller and each product, and the stock quantity and price of the product on the EC site A acquired in step S201 are set in step S203. The inventory quantity and price are adjusted by the inventory quantity / price adjustment means 1023. In addition, it is good also as a structure which makes only the number of stocks or only a price the object of adjustment here, and it is good also as a structure which makes those both objects of adjustment.

  Then, in step S204, the inventory quantity / price change of the product at the EC site B is changed in response to a request from the inventory quantity / price change requesting means 1022 to the inventory quantity / price changing means 2021 of the management server 2b. Here, the change in the number of stocks is configured such that the stock quantity / price changing unit 2021 of the management server 2b is requested not by the value of the number of stocks itself but by the number of increase / decrease after the previous processing. Is preferred. By doing in this way, even when orders are received at both the EC site A and the EC site B, it is possible to prevent inconsistencies in the number of stocks.

  Here, the process of reflecting the inventory quantity and price in the EC site A on the EC site B is shown, but conversely, the process of reflecting the inventory quantity and price in the EC site B on the EC site A may be performed. Good.

  In addition, the linked processing of the number of stocks and the price for each product as shown here may be performed periodically for each product sold on both the EC site A and the EC site B.

<Dispatch cooperation processing>
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of cooperation processing of orders and shipments via a plurality of EC sites in the present embodiment. Here, as an example, when an order is received from a purchaser who uses the purchaser terminal device 4 via the EC site B, a process of making a shipping request to the shipping request receiving means 2033 of the EC site A is shown. .

  First, in step S301, the order / payment confirmation means 1031 is used to confirm the presence / absence of an order from the purchaser terminal device 4 accepted by the order acceptance means 2031 to the order / payment information provision means 2032 of the management server 2b. . This confirmation may be performed by periodic processing.

  If the order is confirmed in step S301, the process proceeds to step S302, where the order / payment confirmation means 1031 sends the order / payment information providing means 2032 of the management server 2b to the purchaser for the order confirmed in step S301. Confirm the payment status of. The confirmation process in step S302 is repeated until it is determined in step S303 that payment has been made. Here, it is also possible to confirm the payment status when confirming the order in step S301, and to omit the processing in steps S302 and S303 when it is confirmed that the payment has been made at that time.

  After the payment by the purchaser is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S304, and it is confirmed whether or not the product is a product for which shipping is delegated to the EC site A. This is a process of confirming the shipping method based on the information related to the product acquired in the exhibition cooperation process described above, or an inquiry to the exhibition information providing means 2012 of the management server 2a (or management server 2b). By performing the process by the shipping method confirmation unit 1032, the shipping method preset for the product may be confirmed. In this case, as a method of shipping the product, the shipping is delegated to the EC site A, that is, the stock of the product is stored in advance in a warehouse managed by the administrator or management organization of the EC site A, and the shipping from the warehouse is performed. It is assumed that either the method for requesting the item or the method for storing the stock by the seller and sending the item by request to a normal shipping company or the like is set.

  If it is determined in step S304 that the product is a product to be dispatched to the EC site A, the process proceeds to step S305, and the delivery request unit 1033 sends the product to the shipment request reception unit 2033 of the management server 2a. Request. Here, information necessary for shipping such as information for specifying a product on the product information storage unit 205 of the management server 2a and information such as the address of the shipping address is transmitted to the shipping request receiving means 2033. What is necessary is just to process.

  After making a request for shipping to the EC site A, the process proceeds to step S306 to notify the purchaser that the order has been accepted, that is, the order of goods from the purchaser and payment have been confirmed. The notification here may be performed by an arbitrary method such as transmission of an e-mail to the purchaser terminal device 4. Here, it is preferable to confirm whether or not the shipping request to the EC site A in step S305 has been normally received before the notification to the purchaser in step S306.

  In step S307, the status of shipping to the EC site A is confirmed. The confirmation here may be performed by making an inquiry to the shipping status providing unit 2034 of the management server 2a by the shipping request unit 1033. And it waits until it determines with the dispatch from a warehouse having been completed in step S308.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S304 that the product is not a product to be dispatched to the EC site A, the process proceeds to step S309 to notify the seller.
