Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily execute ordering by the unit of a gondola and a shelf, and to reduce the time required for the ordering by executing merchandise management in retail trade by the gondola unit and the shelf unit. CONSTITUTION:In the case of the ordering of merchandise, when a gondola number is inputted from an input device 2, data is radio-transmitted to an external output device 3 through a control function 11, an exhibition information extraction function 12, and an ordering information generation function 16, and is outputted on a display screen. Information to be inputted is only the gondola number, and on the contrary, the outputted information is the ordering data of all the commodities exhibited on that gondola. Besides, the outputted information is outputted as being arranged in the exhibition positional order of the actual gondola and the actual shelf in a store. Therefore, the time required for searching the ordering information of the objective commodity to be ordered can be reduced, and simultaneously, the merchandise can be ordered successively while standing in front of the actual gondola.

The above-described conventional gondola and shelf management ordering method in the retail industry has the following drawbacks. (1) When ordering while searching for products based on ordering information, firstly, it is necessary to move many times inside the store while searching for products, and secondly, there is no need to order the products found. Sometimes it's a waste of time. (2) When searching for ordering information after finding a product to be ordered, it takes time to retrieve the information because the ordering information is not a single item and is not necessarily arranged in the actual display order. (3) When creating order information through (1) and (2) above,
Since all products that do not require ordering are also targeted, it takes time to edit the order information data.

[0004]

The gondola and shelf management ordering method in the retail business of the present invention has a function of managing merchandise in units of gondola and shelves, and by inputting a gondola number,
It is characterized by including a function of extracting and generating order information of all the products in the gondola, and a function of rearranging and outputting the information in the same position order as the display of the products in the store.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart showing an embodiment of the present invention. The gondola and shelf management ordering method in this retail business is based on the gondola number input from the input device 2 and the display information extracting function 12 for extracting the display information of the corresponding product from the display information file 4 and the extracted display. The display position alignment function 14 for arranging the information in the same position order as the display of the products in the store, and the master file 5 for the extracted product information.
And add the information obtained from the order result file 6,
An order information generation function 15 for outputting and accumulating as order information in the output file 7, and an external output device 3 as an order terminal.
And a control function 11 for transmitting information of the output file 7.

When ordering work, the gondola number is input from the input device 2. The input gondola number is passed to the display information extracting function 12 by the control function 11. The display information extracting function 12 uses the received gondola number as an extraction condition to display the display information of the corresponding product from the display information file 4, that is, the product number and the display position information (shelf, order of arrangement,
(Indicating the number of lines) is extracted and expanded in the corresponding product table 13, and after the expansion is completed, the display position alignment function 14 is called. The display position arranging function 14 performs an arrangement process according to the display position information. After the sorting process is completed, the order information generation function 15 is called, and the order information generation function 15 uses the master file 5 and the order result file 6 to obtain information necessary for ordering, that is, product name, order result, sales record, and delivery record. Is taken out based on the product number, is combined with the information in the ordered product table 13, and is output and stored in the output file 7 as ordering information. Applicable product table 1
When the processing for all the information of No. 3 is completed, the ordering information generation function 15 passes a notification of the processing end to the control function 11. The control function 11 wirelessly transmits the data of the output file 7 to the external output device 3.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, the information to be input is only the gondola number, and the ordering information of only the products belonging to the input gondola number can be taken out in the same position order as the display order in the store. As a result, the order gondola and the shelves can be arranged in order, and the time required to search for products and move in the store can be minimized, and the time for editing order information can be shortened.
