The present invention provides an inventory management system and a control method thereof that can expand the sales network of inventory items, and is capable of collectively managing and selling inventory items managed by different businesses, different servers, and systems To build a sales network.

Hereinafter, an inventory management system and a control method thereof according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 are block diagrams illustrating an inventory management system related to the present invention.

The inventory management system according to the present invention includes an inventory unit 100 and a sales unit 200. The inventory unit 100 and the sales department 200 may be configured to mutually transmit and receive data using at least one of wire communication and wireless communication.

An inventory management program for providing an inventory management system and a control method according to the present invention is installed in each of the inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200. The inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200 store the inventory management program, So as to communicate with each other.

More specifically, the inventory unit 100 may consist of a single or a plurality of inventory units 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d, as shown.

Each of the plurality of inventory units 100a, 100b, 100c, and 100d is configured to be driven independently of each other based on different vendors or different merchandise servers, or on a predetermined basis.

The selling unit 200 according to the present invention communicates with each of the plurality of inventory units 100a, 100b, 100c and 100d and stores the goods corresponding to the inventory items received from the plurality of inventory units 100a, 100b, 100c, By registering the product information on one inventory sales site, one integrated inventory sales network is constructed.

Meanwhile, the inventory selling site according to the present invention is controlled and managed under the control of the sales department 200, and the sales department 200 uploads the inventory goods to the inventory sale site using the product information received from the inventory unit 100 .

In the following description, for the convenience of explanation, the configuration of a single inventory unit and sales unit 200 will be described.

2, the inventory unit 100 includes a product server 110, a monitoring unit 120, an inventory registration event unit 130, an inventory goods processing unit 140, and a product information database , 150, " Product Information DB ").

The goods server 110 is configured to control the overall operation of the inventory unit 100.

The goods server 110 is configured to control the operations of the monitoring unit 120, the inventory registration event unit 130, the inventory goods processing unit 140, and the goods information DB 150, .

The product information DB 150 includes product information on the product to be sold. The merchandise information on the merchandise can be very diverse. For example, the merchandise name, product image, merchandise price, supply price, previous sale price, cost, inventory quantity, , At least one of a product registration date, a product status (for example, preparing, selling, temporarily out of stock, full out of stock, etc.), a product logistics company, a shipping fee condition, a sale site URL, a country of origin, .

The products to be sold here may vary widely, regardless of the type of wire, cable, electrical materials, circuit breakers, tools, used materials, wiring materials, and piping materials.

The monitoring unit 120 according to the present invention monitors product information registered in the product server (or stored in the product information DB) and transmits the monitoring result to the inventory registration event unit 130. [

Here, monitoring the product information registered in the product server may be accepted to monitor the product information stored in the product information DB 150. [

More specifically, the monitoring unit 120 monitors the inventory days of the products stored in the product information DB 150.

In the present invention, the number of inventory days may refer to an elapsed day from a date when a product is registered to a reference date (for example, a time point at which inventory is confirmed) for determining whether or not the stock is available.

Here, the date on which the goods are registered can be interpreted in various meanings. For example, when the goods information of the goods is registered on the goods server, stored (or registered) in the goods information DB, It can be interpreted in various ways according to the standard of stocking days, such as the date of wearing the goods for sale.

Hereinafter, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the date on which a product is registered will be described as a day in which the product information is stored in the product information DB, but may be variously modified.

On the other hand, the monitoring unit 120 calculates a difference period between the product registration date stored in the product information DB 150 and the current day (or a preset reference date) to monitor the number of days in stock, It is determined whether the condition of the stock day is satisfied.

If the monitoring unit 120 finds an inventory item satisfying a predetermined inventory day condition among the products stored in the product information DB 150 as a result of the monitoring, the monitoring unit 120 transmits a monitoring result indicating that the inventory item exists to the inventory registration event unit 130).

If there is an inventory item satisfying a predetermined inventory day condition among the products stored in the product information DB 150 as a result of the monitoring by the monitoring unit 120, the inventory registration event unit 130 generates an inventory registration event .

Here, the inventory registration event is an event for delivering the product information of the above-described inventory product to the sales department 200. When the inventory registration event occurs, the product server 110 may generate inventory registration event information indicating that an inventory registration event has occurred.

Meanwhile, when the inventory registration event occurs, the goods server 110 may transmit the inventory registration event to the sales department 200 as well.

On the other hand, the inventory registration event unit 130 can generate an inventory registration event only when an inventory process approval event has occurred.

Here, the inventory process approval event may be generated based on whether or not the stock process approval received from the user (or the business entity) is approved.

When the inventory registration event occurs, the goods server 110 outputs inventory registration event information indicating that there is an inventory item that can be delivered to the sales unit 200 through an output unit (for example, a display unit, not shown) can do.

The inventory registration event information may be transmitted to the user (or business entity) holding the inventory item in various manners, and may be displayed to the user through a display unit as an example.

More specifically, in response to the inventory registration event, the product server 110 causes the display unit to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving the inventory processing approval information of the inventory item Can be controlled.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the goods server 110 outputs information related to the inventory goods on the display unit through the graphic user interface 400, The user can select whether or not to transmit the data. For example, when the first icon 410 (the " YES " icon) is selected, the goods server 110 determines that the user (or the business operator) approves the inventory processing for the inventory item. If the user selects the first icon 410, it can be expressed that " inventory process approval information is received ".

On the other hand, when the user selects the first icon 410, " an inventory process approval event has occurred " can also be expressed. Thus, when the inventory process approval event occurs, The inventory registration event unit 130 can be controlled so that the inventory registration event unit 130 is generated.

Then, when the inventory process approval event occurs (or the inventory process approval information is received), the inventory product processing unit 140 updates the product information corresponding to the inventory product from the sales unit 200, in particular, the inventory management of the sales unit 200 Server 210).

4, if the second icon 420 ("NO" icon) is selected through the graphic user interface 400, the user (or the operator) does not approve the inventory processing . In this case, the commodity server 110 can control the inventory commodity processing unit 140 so that the commodity information corresponding to the commodity is not transmitted to the commodity sales unit 200. In this manner, when the user does not approve the inventory process for the inventory item, the inventory registration event may not occur.

On the other hand, in the sales department 200, an inventory registration event can be delivered only when the first icon 410 is selected.

As described above, the inventory item processing unit 140 can deliver the product information corresponding to the inventory item to the sales unit 200, based on the inventory registration event generated in the inventory registration event unit 130. [ The merchandise information corresponding to the inventory merchandise may be delivered to the inventory management server 210 of the sales department 200.

The product information corresponding to the inventory item may include at least a part of the information stored in association with the inventory item in the product information DB 150.

The sales department 200 may include an inventory management server 210, an inventory commodity management unit 220, an inventory commodity sales unit 230, and an inventory commodity DB 240.

The inventory management server 210 is configured to control the overall operation of the sales department 200.

When the goods information corresponding to the inventory item is received from the inventory item processing unit 140, the inventory management server 210 stores the goods information corresponding to the inventory item in the inventory database DB (Data Base) 240 ).

Also, the inventory management server 210 controls the inventory commodity sales unit 230 to register or upload the commodity information corresponding to the commodity to the predetermined stock sales site 300. Here, the preset stock sale site 300 may be a single site or a plurality of sites.

The inventory management server 210 can determine which of the plurality of stock sale sites 300 to upload to the sales site according to the kind of the stock goods. The inventory merchandise sales department 230 can upload the inventory merchandise to the sales site according to the determination.

Furthermore, based on the inventory registration event that occurred in the inventory unit 100, the inventory item management unit 220 stores the inventory item of the third party (or the inventory item of the counterpart) corresponding to the inventory item to be registered in the preset stock sale site You can check if it is already registered.

The inventory item management unit 220 may transmit the product information related to the third-party inventory item to the inventory unit 100 when the previously registered inventory item (or third-party inventory item) exists. On the other hand, the product information related to the third-party inventory commodity may include at least one of the number of inventory days, the sales price, the discount rate, and the quantity information.

Here, " third party " or " other party " may mean a seller other than the seller of the inventory product to be registered.

Furthermore, the inventory merchandise sales department 230 may determine the discount rate of the inventory commodity based on the number of inventory days of the inventory commodity. The product information of the inventory item received from the inventory unit 100 may include the initial sale price information of the inventory item.

The inventory merchandiser 230 may determine the selling price of the inventory commodity by reflecting the price discount rate corresponding to the number of inventory days of the inventory commodity in the initial sales price information. The longer the inventory days of inventory items, the greater the discount rate. Further, as another example, the selling price of the inventory item may be finally determined only when the final approval is received from the inventory unit 100.

Further, the discount rate information of the inventory commodity may be included in the commodity information received from the inventory unit 100. [

That is, the inventory unit 100 can determine the discount rate based on the selection of the user or the like, and can transmit the discount rate information to the sales unit 200 so that the product is sold based on the discount rate.

On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the selling price of the inventory commodity is determined in consideration of the discount rate with respect to the initial selling price. Alternatively, the selling price can be determined based on the purchase price of the inventory commodity. For example, in the inventory unit 100, the final selling price of a commodity can be determined by adjusting a margin rate with respect to purchase price, in accordance with the number of stock days.

Further, when the third-party inventory commodity corresponding to the inventory commodity to be registered is pre-registered in the preset inventory sales site, the inventory commodity management unit 220 stores the selling price of the third- You can compare prices. As a result of the comparison, if the sales price of the third-party inventory commodity is different from the selling price of the inventory commodity, a price adjustment event can be generated.

When the price adjustment event is generated, the inventory item management unit 220 stores at least one of the price adjustment event and the price adjustment event information in at least one of the goods server having the third-party inventory commodity and the commodity server of the inventory commodity Lt; / RTI >

The price adjustment event information may include at least one of product information, price information, discount rate, and margin rate information of other companies.

Also, the inventory item management unit 220 may store at least one of the price adjustment event and the price adjustment event information in the inventory commodity processing unit of the inventory commodity corresponding to a higher price among the sales price of the third-party inventory commodity and the sales price of the above- Lt; / RTI >

On the other hand, the goods server receiving the price adjustment event can re-adjust the selling price of the inventory goods based on the price adjustment event, and the sale price information of the re-adjusted inventory goods can be transmitted to the sales department 200 . When the inventory management server 210 of the sales department 200 receives the sales price information of the re-adjusted inventory goods from the inventory unit 100, based on the received information, You can upload it to the inventory sales site.

As described above, the inventory management system according to the present invention monitors inventory items registered in a goods server managed by a specific business operator or a seller, and uploads the goods to a preset stock sale site when predetermined conditions are satisfied , A new sales network can be built.

In this inventory selling site, not only a single merchant but also a plurality of different merchandise may be registered in the manner as described above. Meanwhile, since the inventory selling site according to the present invention exists separately for each category of goods or is filtered by category, similar or identical inventory items can be sold at the integrated inventory selling site regardless of the business entity . Therefore, the operator can establish a new sales network for the inventory goods, thereby preventing the inventory item from becoming a risky asset.

In the above embodiment, the method of setting the discount rate of the inventory item at the seller 200 side has been described. However, in the inventory management system according to the present invention, the discount rate of the inventory item is determined by the inventory unit 100 For example, as described above, when an inventory registration event occurs, the product server 100 has a graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving approval information on the inventory processing of inventory goods And an input unit (or an input window) for allowing the user to input the discount rate information of the inventory commodity or the sales price information of the inventory commodity may be included in the graphic user interface.

When the information on the discount rate or the selling price of the inventory commodity is received from the user via the input unit, the inventory commodity processing unit 140 stores the commodity information and the discount rate information (or price information) corresponding to the inventory commodity in the sales unit 200, in particular, the inventory management server 210 of the sales department 200).

On the other hand, in the above embodiment, the selling price of the inventory commodity is determined in consideration of the discount rate with respect to the initial selling price. Alternatively, the selling price can be determined based on the purchase price of the inventory commodity. In this case, the user can input the margin rate from the user. For example, if a user enters a margin rate of 130%, the selling price of the inventory item can be determined by the purchase amount * 1.3 times the purchase amount.

In the meantime, the configuration of the inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200 of the inventory management system according to the present invention has been described. It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that although the present invention has distinguished the respective components of the inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200, the configuration except for the database can be unified under each control unit configuration.

Furthermore, the inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200 according to the present invention may belong to different management subjects. For example, the inventory unit 100 may correspond to an inventory management program of a wholesale business or a retail business of a specific product, and the sales unit 200 may correspond to a central management program that processes inventory goods by communicating with the inventory management program can do. Accordingly, the inventory unit 100 and the sales unit 200 are located apart from each other and can transmit or receive data through communication.

Hereinafter, an inventory management method of the inventory management system will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, by means of the above-mentioned components. FIGS. 3A, 3B and 3C are flowcharts for explaining an inventory management method of an inventory management system according to the present invention, and FIGS. 4 to 7 are conceptual diagrams illustrating an inventory management system according to the present invention.

Referring to the inventory management method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3A, the inventory unit 100 monitors the number of inventory days (S310).

Here, the step 310 of monitoring the number of days of inventory can be performed by the monitoring unit 120, which has been described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The monitoring unit 120 monitors the goods information registered in the goods server 110 (or stored in the goods information DB 150). Here, the monitoring of the product information registered in the product server 110 may be accepted to monitor the product information stored in the product information DB 150.

More specifically, the monitoring unit 120 monitors the inventory days of the products stored in the product information DB 150.

In the present invention, the number of inventory days may refer to an elapsed day from a date when a product is registered to a reference date (for example, a time point at which inventory is confirmed) for determining whether or not the stock is available.

Here, the date on which the goods are registered can be interpreted in various meanings. For example, when the goods information of the goods is registered in the goods information DB, or the day when the goods are put on the goods for sale by the business operator, It can be interpreted in various ways according to the criteria.

In the monitoring step S310, the monitoring unit 120 calculates the difference period between the product registration date stored in the product information DB 150 and the current day (or a predetermined reference date) in order to monitor the inventory days, And judges whether or not the calculated period satisfies the predetermined inventory days condition.

Next, in step S320, the monitoring unit 120 detects an inventory item that satisfies the predetermined inventory day-and-date condition.

When the monitoring unit 120 detects or finds an inventory item satisfying a predetermined inventory day condition among the products registered in the product information DB 150 as a result of monitoring (S320), the monitoring unit 120 displays a monitoring result indicating that the inventory item exists , And transmits it to the inventory registration event unit 130.

In this manner, when the monitoring result indicating that the inventory item exists is transferred to the inventory registration event unit 130, the inventory registration event generating step (S330) proceeds.

The inventory registration event unit 130 may be configured such that when there is an inventory item satisfying a predetermined inventory day condition among the products registered in the product information DB 150 as a result of the monitoring by the monitoring unit 120, And generates an event.

Here, the inventory registration event is an event for delivering the product information of the above-described inventory product to the sales department 200. When the inventory registration event occurs, the product server 110 may generate inventory registration event information indicating that an inventory registration event has occurred.

On the other hand, the step of generating the inventory registration event (S330) can be performed only when there is an approval of the user.

More specifically, in the present invention, the step S330 of generating the inventory registration event may be performed only when the inventory processing approval event occurs.

Here, the inventory process approval event may be generated based on whether or not the stock process approval received from the user (or the business entity) is approved.

When the inventory registration event occurs, the goods server 110 may output inventory registration event information indicating that there is an inventory item that can be delivered to the sales department 200. [

The inventory registration event information may be transmitted to the user (or business entity) holding the inventory item in various manners, and may be displayed to the user through a display unit as an example.

More specifically, in response to the inventory registration event, the product server 110 causes the display unit to display a graphical user interface (GUI) for receiving the inventory processing approval information of the inventory item Can be controlled.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the goods server 110 outputs information related to the inventory goods on the display unit through the graphic user interface 400, The user can select whether or not to transmit the data. For example, when the first icon 410 (the " YES " icon) is selected, the goods server 110 determines that the user (or the business operator) approves the inventory processing for the inventory item. If the user selects the first icon 410, it can be expressed that " inventory process approval information is received ".

On the other hand, when the user selects the first icon 410, " an inventory process approval event has occurred " can also be expressed. Thus, when the inventory process approval event occurs, The inventory registration event unit 130 can be controlled so that the inventory registration event unit 130 is generated.

Then, when the inventory process approval event occurs (or the inventory process approval information is received), the inventory product processing unit 140 updates the product information corresponding to the inventory product from the sales unit 200, in particular, the inventory management of the sales unit 200 Server 210).

4, if the second icon 420 ("NO" icon) is selected through the graphic user interface 400, the user (or the operator) does not approve the inventory processing . In this case, the commodity server 110 can control the inventory commodity processing unit 140 so that the commodity information corresponding to the commodity is not transmitted to the commodity sales unit 200. In this manner, when the user does not approve the inventory process for the inventory item, the inventory registration event may not occur.

On the other hand, if the inventory process is not approved, the product server 110 may control the monitoring unit 120 so that monitoring of the unapproved items may be continuously performed. In other words, the inventory-processed unapproved inventory item can be monitored again by the monitoring unit 120 as an inventory item.

Also, the goods server 100 may output notification information indicating that there is an unapproved inventory item at a predetermined period, without monitoring the unapproved inventory item. Here, the notification information may be output in a predetermined output manner (for example, at least one of a visual method and an audible method).

The goods server 100 can separately manage the information of the unapproved inventory items and periodically remind the user that the inventory items exist.

In the product information DB 150, information on unapproved inventory goods may be stored and exist.

With this, even if the user refuses to process the inventory item primarily, the user can later promote the sale by processing the product as an inventory item.

Here, the predetermined period may be determined based on the user's intention or may be determined according to the setting of the system. When the sale of the inventory item is unapproved, the product server 110 transmits notification information To be output from the user after several days. For example, if the user selects " Notify again after 10 days ", the commodity server 100 can output the notification information notifying that the corresponding commodity is available for sale after 10 days.

On the other hand, if the user approves the inventory item processing later, the inventory processing procedure described below can be applied equally.

On the other hand, in the sales department 200, an inventory registration event can be delivered only when the first icon 410 is selected.

In this manner, when the inventory registration event occurs, the inventory unit 100 proceeds to the step of transmitting the product information of the inventory item to the sales unit 200 (S340).

Here, the step of transmitting the product information of the inventory item may be performed by the inventory item processing unit 140. The inventory item processing unit 140 can transmit information related to the inventory items stored in the product information DB to the sales unit 200. [ At this time, the inventory item processing unit 140 may transmit all or a part of the information stored in the product information DB to the sales unit 200. [

The sales department 200 having received the product information of the inventory item performs the step S350 of analyzing the product information.

More specifically, in step S350 of analyzing the product information, the inventory management server 210 uses the product information to determine the category of the inventory commodity, determine the discount rate (or determine the margin rate), determine the final sales price, And performing product comparison.

The inventory management server 210 can determine the categories or kinds of inventory items and determine which of the plurality of stock sale sites 300 to upload to the sales sites according to the determined category or type. The inventory merchandise sales department 230 can upload the inventory merchandise to the sales site according to the determination.

An example of a method of determining a discount rate (or a margin rate) and a selling price of an inventory item in the product information analysis step (S350) will be described below.

3B, in the step of analyzing the product information (S350), it is possible to check the stock number of inventory items and perform a discount rate (or a margin rate) determination process based on the number of inventory days (S351a).

The inventory merchandise sales department 230 may determine the selling price of the inventory commodity by reflecting the price discount rate (or the margin rate) corresponding to the number of days of inventory commodity in the initial sales price information. The longer the inventory days of inventory items, the greater the discount rate.

Or, the longer the inventory days of the inventory items are, the smaller the margin rate can be.

The inventory item sales department 230 can determine the number of days in stock and the discount rate (or the margin rate) of the inventory goods using the product information received from the inventory unit 100. [

The degree of discount of the inventory items according to the number of days of inventory can be determined based on a predetermined discount rate (or margin rate) table. The predetermined discount rate (or margin rate) table may be stored in the inventory item DB 240 and exist. Also, the preset discount rate (or margin rate) table may include different discount rate (or margin rate) information by using at least one of various classification criteria such as the type of the product, the manufacturer, the country of origin,

In this way, the inventory item sales department 230 can determine and determine the selling price of the inventory goods based on the predetermined criteria (S352a).

On the other hand, if the selling price of the inventory goods is determined by the inventory merchandise sales department 230, the inventory management server 210 can upload the inventory goods to the inventory selling site at a determined price (S360).

As another example, the selling price of the inventory item may be finally determined only when it is finally approved by the inventory unit 100.

The inventory management server 210 can perform the process of transmitting the selling price information to the inventory unit 100 when the selling price of the inventory commodity is determined (S353a).

When the selling price information is received, the inventory unit 100 can output a graphic user interface for receiving final sales approval from the user. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, at least one of the selling price and discount rate (or margin rate) information of the inventory commodity received from the sales department 200 can be displayed on the display unit linked to the inventory unit 100 have.

Then, when the sales approval information is received from the user through the sale approval icon 510 (S354a), the inventory unit 100 can transmit the final sales approval event (see Fig. 3B, S355a). The sales department 100 can perform a process of uploading the inventory goods to the inventory sale site based on the reception of the final sales approval event (S360).

On the other hand, when the sales unapproved icon 520 is selected from the graphic user interface shown in Fig. 5, the inventory unit 100 can transmit the unauthorized sales event to the sales unit 200. [ In this case, the sales department 200 can control the inventory commodity sales department 230 so that the inventory commodity is not uploaded to the inventory sale site. As another example, although not shown, An input window for inputting at least one of a selling price and a discount rate may be included. According to the present invention, at least one of a sales price and a discount rate (or a marginal rate) is input from a user through an input window, so that a selling price of an inventory product can be finally determined by reflecting a user's intention.

When receiving at least one of the sales price and the discount rate (or the margin rate) through the input window, the inventory unit 100 can transmit the inputted information to the sales unit 200. [ The inventory management server 210 may control the inventory item sales department 230 so that the selling price of the inventory goods is readjusted based on the inputted information. The inventory merchandiser 230 may upload the inventory merchandise to the inventory sales site at a re-adjusted price.

Referring to FIG. 3C, another example of the process of analyzing the product information (S350) is as follows, as shown in FIG. 3B, the inventory item sales department 230 performs a process of checking the inventory days and determining the discount rate (S351b). The process of determining the number of inventory days and the discount rate can be similarly applied to the description of FIG. 3B, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, when the inventory days check and the discount rate are determined and the selling prices of the inventory items are determined, the inventory item management unit 220 registers the third-party inventory items corresponding to the inventory items at the sales site where the inventory items are uploaded (S352b). If a third-party inventory item exists, the sales price of the third-party inventory item can be compared with the selling price of the inventory item (S353b). As a result of the comparison, if the sales price of the third-party inventory commodity is different from the selling price of the inventory commodity, a price adjustment event can be generated.

When the price adjustment event is generated, the inventory management server 210 stores at least one of the price adjustment event and the price adjustment event information in at least one of the goods server having the third-party inventory commodity and the commodity server of the inventory commodity (S354b).

The price adjustment event and the price adjustment event information may include at least one of product information, sales price information, and discount rate (or margin rate) information of the other party.

In addition, the inventory management server 210 may be configured to perform a price adjustment including a selling price information of a counterpart inventory commodity in an inventory commodity server of an inventory commodity corresponding to a higher price among a selling price of an inventory commodity of a third- Event and price adjustment event information.

On the other hand, the goods server receiving the price adjustment event can perform the final sale approval process (S355b) based on the price adjustment event, and can transmit the final sale approved event to the sales department 200 (S356b). When the final sales approval event is transmitted from the inventory unit 100, the inventory item sales unit 230 of the sales unit 200 can upload the inventory item to the inventory sale site (S360).

On the other hand, the final sales approval event may include information on the final selling price of the inventory item. The final selling price information of the inventory commodity may include any one of sales price holding information and price adjustment information of the inventory commodity.

When the price adjustment event is received from the sales department 200 (S354b), the inventory unit 100 can readjust the selling price of the inventory commodity, and the sales price information of the rearranged inventory commodity is combined with the final sales approval event , And can be transmitted to the merchandise department 200 (S356b). The inventory management server 210 of the merchandise department 200 receives the sales price information of the re-adjusted inventory merchandise from the inventory unit 100 and, based on the received information, .

For example, when the price adjustment event is received from the sales department 200 (S354b), the inventory unit 100 stores the selling price of the inventory goods from the user through the graphic user interface Can be confirmed. When the first icon (" YES " icon, 610) is selected as shown in the figure, the inventory unit 100 stores final sales price information including final sales price information for adjusting the selling price of the other- And send the event to the sales department 200. When the second icon (" No, sale price maintenance " icon 620) is selected as shown in the figure, the inventory unit 100 stores the final sales price Including the information, to the sales department 200. [0050]

As another example, as shown in FIG. 7, the graphical user interface may further include an input window 730 that allows the user to directly enter a price. Through this input window, the inventory unit 100 can receive at least one of the selling price and the discount rate (or the margin rate) from the user. According to the present invention, at least one of a sales price and a discount rate (or a marginal rate) is input from a user through an input window, so that a selling price of an inventory product can be finally determined by reflecting a user's intention.

When receiving at least one of the sales price and the discount rate (or the margin rate) through the input window, the inventory unit 100 can transmit the inputted information to the sales unit 200. [ The inventory management server 210 may control the inventory item sales department 230 so that the selling price of the inventory goods is readjusted based on the inputted information. The inventory merchandiser 230 may upload the inventory merchandise to the inventory sales site at a re-adjusted price.

As described above, the inventive inventory management system according to the present invention, when a third-party (or other) inventory item similar to or identical to an inventory item is being sold in the past, The selling price can be made competitive in price.

On the other hand, it is also possible that the discount rate (or the margin rate) of the inventory items is determined by the inventory unit 100 side. For example, as described above, when an inventory registration event occurs, the goods server 100 receives from the user information on whether to approve the inventory processing of the inventory goods and information on the discount rate (or the margin rate or the final selling price) , And a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display unit of the user. When the information on the discount rate (or the margin rate) or the selling price of the inventory commodity is received from the user through the input unit, the inventory commodity processing unit 140 stores the commodity information corresponding to the inventory commodity and the discount rate (or the margin rate) (Or price information) to the sales department 200 (particularly, the inventory management server 210 of the sales department 200).

In this case, the process of determining the selling price of the inventory goods on the side of the sales department 200 as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C may be omitted.

That is, in this case, the sales department 200 can upload the product information of the inventory item to the inventory item sale site based on the price information of the inventory item received at the inventory unit 100 side.

Furthermore, when the sales department 200 (in particular, the inventory commodity management unit 220) receives the sales price or the discount rate of the inventory commodity from the inventory unit 100, the inventory commodity is uploaded based on the received discount rate (Or searching) whether a third-party inventory commodity corresponding to the inventory commodity is pre-registered in the sales site. As a result, when there is a third-party inventory item, the inventory item management unit 220 can compare the selling price of the third-party inventory item with the selling price of the inventory item. As a result of the comparison, if the sales price of the third-party inventory commodity is different from the selling price of the inventory commodity, a price adjustment event can be generated.

The process in which the price adjustment event is generated and the price of the inventory item is readjusted can be performed in the same manner as that shown in FIGS. 3C, 6, and 7, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the inventory management system and the control method thereof according to the present invention monitor the number of inventory days of goods registered in a goods server of a business entity, and when a product satisfying predetermined conditions exists, And can be set as a management target. The information about the goods set as the inventory management target is transmitted from the merchandise server of the provider to the integrated inventory management server, and the inventory goods registered in the integrated inventory management server can be uploaded to the integrated inventory sale site. Thus, the operator can generate sales revenue from a new sales network in addition to his own sales network.
