Description

Machine transaction brokerage server {MACHINE TRANSACTION INERMEDIATE SEVER}

The present invention relates to a machine transaction intermediary server, and in particular, by sending a final product quote calculated based on a quote for a purchased product and a lowest logistics cost estimate to a buyer terminal, it is possible to provide the buyer with a final product quote at the lowest price more quickly and accurately. It relates to a machine transaction brokerage server.

As domestic machinery manufacturing technology is recognized in the overseas market, domestic machinery manufacturers are actively entering the overseas market, and thus, inquiries for product quotations from overseas buyers for trading with domestic machinery manufacturers or parts companies are increasing. Accordingly, in order to smoothly process transactions between domestic companies and overseas buyers, an e-commerce service is provided through a machine transaction brokerage server.

The final product quotation in response to the product quotation inquiry of an overseas buyer is prepared based on the quotation for the product received from the seller and the distribution cost quotation received from the forwarding company. However, as the number of inquiries about purchasing products from overseas buyers increases, sellers and forwarding companies spend a lot of time and effort in making a quotation. Therefore, the creation of an estimate has become a task, but if the purchase of the product is not successful, there arises a problem that only effort and time are devoted to the quotation. In addition, there is a problem in that smooth transactions between domestic machinery sales companies and overseas buyers are difficult due to the delay in making quotations from sellers and forwarding companies.

In particular, the cost of the logistics cost estimate varies depending on whether the product is delivered by air or sea, and because the logistics cost varies depending on which forwarding company is selected, there are many difficulties in determining the most suitable logistics cost estimate.

Accordingly, there is a need to develop a technology that enables a smooth and smooth purchase transaction between machine sellers and buyers based on the request for an accurate and quick quotation for a purchase product and a distribution cost estimate.

[Equation 5]

Air fare = C·D + C·D·E

C is the purchased product CBM, D is the arrival airport, and E is a variation value determined according to an expected shipment date,

[Equation 6]

Airline Estimated Logistics Cost = A·B + (C·D + C·D·E) + F + G

F is an incidental fare, and G is an insurance premium.

For example, when it is determined that the purchase of the purchase product corresponding to the final product quotation is determined, the control unit may request the purchaser terminal to deposit a purchase amount deducting a fee.

For example, the controller may determine a buyer rating based on the buyer information collected from the buyer terminal, and differentially determine a fee based on the determined buyer rating.

For example, the control unit determines the purchaser rating based on the purchaser information collected from the purchaser terminal, and the purchaser's rating is whether the purchaser's company domain is included in the purchaser information, and the purchaser is the model name of the purchased product. Alternatively, it may be determined based on whether to inquire about the serial number of the product and whether a photo or document related to the purchased product is attached to the purchase request information of the purchaser.

For example, when receiving the same lowest price distribution cost estimates from the plurality of forwarding company terminals, the control unit may differentially determine points according to a response order to the plurality of forwarding company terminals.

For example, the control unit may set a reference time related to receiving the distribution cost estimate, and pay the same points to the plurality of forwarding company terminals that send the distribution cost estimate within the reference time.

As described above, the machine brokerage server 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine the point payment to at least one forwarding company terminal 40 among a plurality of forwarding company terminals 40 that provided a distribution cost estimate. Due to its characteristics, forwarding companies can receive points even if a purchase is not made.

Therefore, the machine transaction mediation server 10 of the present invention can induce the forwarding companies to provide a distribution cost estimate, and as a number of forwarding companies provide distribution cost estimates, the purchase inquiry request of the buyer can be processed more quickly. It can increase the efficiency of transactions between buyers and sellers and forwarding companies.

In one embodiment, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may select the lowest distribution cost estimate among the distribution cost estimates in operation 260. For example, it is possible to select the lowest distribution cost estimate by comparing the distribution cost estimates obtained from the plurality of forwarding company terminals 40.

In an embodiment, in operation 270, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may transmit to the purchaser terminal 20 a final product estimate calculated based on an estimate for a purchased product and a selected lowest distribution cost estimate. For example, a final product estimate may be calculated using an estimate for a purchased product obtained from the seller terminal 30 and a distribution cost estimate obtained from a plurality of forwarding company terminals 40. At this time, the logistics cost estimate may be set at the lowest price. That is, the final product cost of the final product quotation may be determined as the sum of the estimated cost for the purchased product obtained from the seller terminal 30 and the lowest logistics cost estimate among the logistics cost estimates obtained from the plurality of forwarding company terminals 40. .

In one embodiment, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may check whether the purchase is confirmed or failed in operation 280. For example, when a purchase signal indicating that the final purchase is determined is received from the purchaser terminal 20, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may determine a transaction corresponding to the final product quotation as a purchase confirmation. On the other hand, when a purchase signal indicating a final purchase is not received from the purchaser terminal 20, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may determine a transaction corresponding to the final product quotation as a purchase failure. At this time, the final product quote for which the purchase failure has been determined is stored in the database 12, and the machine transaction intermediary server 10 provides a message to the purchaser terminal 20 whose final purchase has not been confirmed, asking for a request to re-request a purchase inquiry. I can.

In one embodiment, when it is determined in operation 290 that the purchase of the purchase product corresponding to the final product quotation is confirmed, the machine transaction mediation server 10 requests the purchaser terminal 20 to deposit the purchase amount deducting the fee. I can. In this case, the purchase amount may correspond to the sum of the estimated cost for the purchased product and the lowest logistics cost estimate, as described above.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining suitability of a distribution cost estimate according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operations of FIG. 3 may be performed by the machine transaction mediation server 10 of FIG. 1. For example, the operations of FIG. 3 may be performed by the control unit 11 of the machine transaction intermediary server 10 of FIG. 1. The operations of FIG. 3 may be an embodiment in which S250 of FIG. 2 is embodied.

Referring to FIG. 3, in an embodiment, in operation 251, the machine transaction mediation server 10 averages from distribution cost estimate information including information on past distribution cost estimates provided by a plurality of forwarding companies stored in the database 12. By calculating the distribution cost estimate and comparing the distribution cost estimate with the average distribution cost estimate, it is possible to determine whether the corresponding distribution cost estimate is appropriate. For example, the average distribution cost estimate may calculate an average distribution cost estimate based on past distribution cost estimates and distribution cost estimate information collected from the plurality of forwarding company devices 40 stored in the database 12. The average distribution cost estimate calculated based on the past distribution cost estimates and distribution cost estimate information collected from the plurality of forwarding company devices 40 may have a value greater than or equal to the lowest distribution cost.

In an embodiment, in operation 252, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may compare the corresponding distribution cost estimate and the average distribution cost estimate to determine whether the difference between the corresponding distribution cost estimate and the average distribution cost estimate is greater than a preset threshold range. For example, the preset threshold range may be 5%. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the critical range may be determined by statistically analyzing previously collected logistics cost information and average logistics cost.

In one embodiment, in operation 253, when the difference between the distribution cost estimate and the average distribution cost estimate is greater than a preset threshold range, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 determines the distribution cost estimate as a false logistics cost estimate, and calculates the false logistics cost estimate. Can be deleted. For example, if the logistics cost estimate received from the terminals 40 of a plurality of forwarding companies is 5% or less than the calculated average logistics cost estimate, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 determines the logistics cost estimate as a false logistics cost estimate and deletes it, thereby making it more competitive. A forwarding company can be provided to the buyer. In this case, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 may store information on the forwarding company terminal 40 that provided the deleted distribution cost estimate in the database 12.

4 is another flowchart illustrating a method of determining suitability of a distribution cost estimate according to another embodiment of the present invention. The operations of FIG. 4 may be performed by the machine transaction intermediary server 10 of FIG. 1. For example, the operations of FIG. 4 may be performed by the control unit 11 of the machine transaction intermediary server 10 of FIG. 1. The operations of FIG. 4 may be another embodiment in which S450 is embodied.

Referring to FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 estimates, in operation 451, based on the purchase product information acquired from the seller terminal 30 and logistics cost determining factors that determine the logistics cost. Can be calculated. For example, the purchased product information includes seller information (the seller's name, business, etc.), the weight or volume of the purchased product, the pickup area of the purchased product, and the product CBM required for the purchased product (e.g. 1 CBM = 100 cm x 100 cm). = 167 kg), port of arrival, airport of arrival, and expected date of shipment, but are not limited thereto. The logistics cost may be a maritime logistics cost and an air logistics cost, and the logistics cost determining factor may include at least one of an inland transportation cost, a sea freight cost, an air freight cost, an incidental freight cost, and an insurance premium.

Specifically explaining the method of calculating the expected logistics cost, if delivery is related to sea delivery, based on the purchased product information obtained from the seller terminal 30, the purchase product CBM, the pickup area, the destination port, and the expected shipment date are checked. , The inland transportation cost may be calculated according to Equation 1 below, the sea freight cost may be calculated according to Equation 2 below, and the estimated shipping cost may be calculated according to Equation 3 below.

For example, in the case of Equation 1, since the purchased product CBM means the volume or weight of the purchased product, the type of truck (e.g., 1 ton truck or 5 ton truck) can be determined according to the purchased product CBM. The distance between the pickup area and Incheon port can be determined. Therefore, the inland transportation cost can be calculated according to the type of truck and pickup area determined according to the purchase product CBM.

For example, in the case of Equation 2, the sea freight cost may be basically determined according to the purchase product CBM and the destination port, and the final sea freight cost may be determined in consideration of the change value.

For example, in the case of Equation 3, the estimated maritime logistics cost may be determined by considering all of the inland transportation cost, sea freight cost, incidental freight cost, and insurance premium. Here, the incidental fare is CFS (Container Freight Station), THC (Terminal Handling Charges), WFG (Wharfage), DOC (Document Charge), customs clearance fee (0.2% of the quote price), and the forwarding company's handling charge. Can include.

[Equation 1]

Inland transportation cost = A·B

A is the truck type determined according to the purchase product CBM, B is a pickup area,

[Equation 2]

Port fare = C·D + C·D·E

C is the purchased product CBM, D is the destination port, and E is a change value determined according to the expected shipment date,

[Equation 3]

Expected shipping cost = A·B + (C·D + C·D·E) + F + G

F is an incidental fare, and G is an insurance premium.

In addition, the estimated logistics cost may be an estimate related to air delivery, and by analyzing the purchased product information obtained from the seller terminal 30, the purchased product CBM, the pickup area, the arrival flight and the expected shipment date are checked, and according to Equation 4 below. Inland transportation costs may be calculated, air freight charges may be calculated according to Equation 5 below, and an estimated air logistics cost may be calculated according to Equation 6 below.

For example, in the case of Equation 4, since the purchased product CBM means the volume or weight of the purchased product, the type of truck (e.g., 1 ton truck or 5 ton truck) can be determined according to the purchased product CBM. The distance between the pickup area and Incheon Airport can be determined. Therefore, the inland transportation cost can be calculated according to the type of truck and pickup area determined according to the purchase product CBM.

For example, in the case of Equation 5, the air fare may be basically determined according to the purchase product CBM and the destination airline, and the final air fare may be determined in consideration of the change value.

For example, in the case of Equation 6, the estimated logistics cost by air may be determined by considering all of the inland transportation cost, sea freight cost, incidental freight cost, and insurance premium. Here, the incidental fare is CFS (Container Freight Station), THC (Terminal Handling Charges), WFG (Wharfage), DOC (Document Charge), customs clearance fee (0.2% of the quote price), and the forwarding company's handling charge. Can include.

[Equation 4]

Inland transportation cost = A·B

A is the truck type determined according to the purchase product CBM, B is a pickup area,

[Equation 5]

Air fare = C·D + C·D·E

C is the purchased product CBM, D is the arrival flight, and E is a change value determined according to the expected shipment date,

[Equation 6]

Airline Estimated Logistics Cost = A·B + (C·D + C·D·E) + F + G

F is an incidental fare, and G is an insurance premium.

In an embodiment, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 may receive a distribution cost estimate from the plurality of forwarding company terminals 40 in operation 452 and compare the distribution cost estimate with the expected distribution cost.

In an embodiment, in operation 453, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may check whether the difference between the distribution cost estimate and the expected distribution cost exceeds a preset threshold range. For example, the preset threshold range may be 5%. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the critical range may be determined by statistically analyzing previously collected logistics cost information and expected logistics cost.

In an embodiment, in operation 454, when the difference between the distribution cost estimate and the expected distribution cost exceeds a preset threshold range, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 may determine the distribution cost estimate as a false distribution cost estimate and delete the false distribution cost estimate. For example, if the logistics cost estimate obtained from the terminals 40 of a plurality of forwarding companies is 5% or more than the calculated expected logistics cost, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 determines the logistics cost estimate as a false logistics cost estimate and deletes it, thereby making it more competitive. Forwarding companies can be provided to buyers.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of determining a fee to a buyer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The operations of FIG. 5 may be performed by the machine transaction mediation server 10 of FIG. 1. For example, the operations of FIG. 5 may be performed by the control unit 11 of the machine transaction intermediary server 10 of FIG. 1. The operations of FIG. 5 may be an embodiment in which S210 of FIG. 2 is embodied.

Referring to FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may determine a purchaser grade based on purchaser information collected from the purchaser terminal 20 in operation 211.

In addition, the buyer level is determined whether the buyer's company domain is included in the buyer information, whether the buyer inquires about the model name or serial number of the product, and a photo or document related to the purchased product is attached to the purchase request information of the buyer. Can be determined based on whether or not. For example, buyer ratings can be divided into premium, excellent, and general groups. In this case, the premium group includes the company domain of the purchaser, describes the model name of the purchased product or the serial number of the product when making a purchase inquiry, and a photo or document related to the purchase product may be attached. The excellent group includes the buyer's company domain, and when making a purchase inquiry, the model name of the purchased product or the serial number of the product may be entered, but photos or documents related to the purchased product may not be attached. The general group may include the buyer's company domain, but the model name of the purchased product or the serial number of the product may not be described when making a purchase inquiry, and a photo or document related to the purchased product may not be attached. However, the criteria for determining the rating of the purchaser are not limited thereto.

In an embodiment, the machine transaction intermediary server 10 may differentially determine a fee based on the determined purchaser grade in operation 212. For example, after first determining a fee to be deposited by a buyer, a discount rate may be determined for each buyer level to determine the fee. For example, when the commission to be deposited by the buyer is determined to be 20,000 won, the machine transaction brokerage server 10 determines a discount rate of 5% for the purchaser having a premium grade and sends a fee of 19,000 won excluding the 1,000 won to the buyer terminal 20. Can be requested. However, the fee discount rate according to the grade is not limited thereto.

In the above, the present invention has been described by specific matters such as specific elements and limited embodiments and drawings, but this is provided only to help a more general understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is limited to the above embodiments. No, a person having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications and variations from these descriptions.

Therefore, the spirit of the present invention is limited to the above-described embodiments and should not be determined, and all modifications equivalently or equivalently to the claims as well as the claims to be described later belong to the scope of the spirit of the present invention. will be.
