Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To instantaneously gather data on codes of orders and articles from a POS terminal and an EOS terminal by a head office system and to make branch office business efficient by providing a branch office system, the head office system, and a communication line which connects both the branch office and head office systems. SOLUTION: Each branch office system 2 has a POS terminal 4, a POS controller 5 which has an article data file, an EOS terminal 6, and a backyard terminal 7 which can receive data from the EOS terminal 6. The head office system 1 is equipped with an on-line control system 8 which receives data sent from respective branch office systems 2 and performs data processing and a FAX 9 which has an automatic originating function. Then the on-line control system 8 of the head office system 1 instantaneously processes transaction information sent from the branch office system 2 to enable the head office system 1 to accurately analyze sales data in real time.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a branch business support system for online management of a branch system and a headquarters system for sales management and product management, and more particularly to a branch business support system using POS terminals and EOS terminals as input devices. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art POS terminals for point-of-sale information management and EOS terminals for inputting order and inventory information have been actively introduced to food supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants and the like and used for sales operations. JP-A-4-25059
According to the publication No. 8, as shown in FIG. 3, the POS terminal 33 is provided with a POS terminal 33 for reading and registering a barcode of a product with a scanner 333 of the POS terminal 33, and at the time of sale, the product name, unit price, and purchase. P that recorded data such as the destination
LU (Price Look Up) controller 32
Necessary information is read out from the POS terminal 33, and the POS terminal 33 side outputs the product name, sales amount, sales quantity, etc. as a receipt from the printer 335, and at the same time, the transaction information is registered in the memory 336 and the file 321 of the PLU controller 32. The transaction information is sent to and is cumulatively registered for each product code. Also, at the end of the day's business hours, P
The transaction information registered in the OS terminal 33 is P at the end of business.
The PLU controller 32 is totalized for each OS terminal 33
Alternatively, a technique is disclosed in which it is sent to the data processing device 31 to generate and use inventory management information and product order management information.

[0003]

However, in ordering and purchasing by the conventional POS and EOS terminals, it takes a lot of time and labor for the shop work. This is because the aggregated or analyzed data must be output from the data processing device and the order slip must be manually written.

Further, in the POS and EOS terminals of the prior art, after the business hours of each store, the transaction information is aggregated and transmitted to the processing device, which is not immediacy.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a PO
Targeting large companies that have many branches that manage sales and products using S terminals and EOS terminals, the store responds smoothly to the expansion of the number of branches, analyzes collected data, and saves labor in ordering and purchasing. It is to support the work load reduction, the improvement of ordering accuracy by online ordering, the reduction of time, the management of purchasing and sales conditions by branch at the headquarters, and the management of budget and results.

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

Referring to FIG. 1 showing the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, each branch system 2 has a POS terminal 6, a POS controller 5 having a product data file 51, and an EO.
S terminal 6 and. And a backyard terminal 7 for receiving data from the EOS terminal 6. The head office system 1 includes an online control system 8 that receives data sent from each branch system 2 and processes the data, and a FAX 9 that has an automatic transmission function.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to the data flow shown in FIG. The bar code 40 of the product is read by the POS terminal 4 (step 20), and the product code is sent to the POS controller 5 (step 2).
1), the POS controller 5 uses the product data file 51
The information on the selling price and the product name retrieved from the PLU table is returned (step 22). The POS terminal 4 receiving the information outputs the receipt 41 through the printer (step 23). At the same time, the transaction information is recorded in the memory 42 of the POS terminal 4 itself (step 24). The POS controller 5 performs the transaction information table process by using the product data file 51 of itself (step 25).

The online control system 8 of the head office system 1 can always process the transaction information transmitted from the branch office system 2 immediately to enable accurate and real-time analysis of sales data in the head office system 1. . Output various analysis results of customer management 81, summary table 82, inventory 83, single item management 84 (step 2
6) In the inventory management 83, an automatic FAX order is placed when the order point is reached (step 27).

According to the above description, the head office system 1 and the branch system 2 of this embodiment can facilitate the smooth operation of the branch operation and the branch sales support such as the online automatic ordering.

[0011]

According to the above description, the present invention not only saves labor for ordering and purchasing, but also shortens purchasing time and improves ordering accuracy.

Further, according to the present invention, the management system by purchasing of each branch and management of sales conditions, and budget / actual result management is strengthened.
