Description

Automatic quotation creation and order processing method, device and system for import/export air logistics processing { METHOD, DEVICE AND SYSTEM FOR CREATING QUOTATION AUTOMATICALLY AND PROCESSING ORDER FOR IMPORT/EXPORT AIR LOGISTICS PROCESSING }

The following embodiments relate to an automatic quotation generation and order processing method, apparatus and system for import/export air logistics processing.

Freight transport by ship or aircraft is usually transacted through forwarders as it is difficult for shippers and shipping companies to directly transact.

A forwarder is also called an international freight forwarder or multimodal carrier, and refers to a person who arranges all tasks until the goods are delivered to the consignee. A forwarder can arrange all tasks such as collection, warehousing, loading, transportation, insurance, storage, and delivery from the time the cargo is received from the freight forwarder or the shipper to the delivery to the consignee. It is common for a forwarder to receive a job from a shipper or a consignor and do a specific job.

Forwarders provide professional advice on transportation, arrangement of transportation means, acceptance or delivery of ships and cargo, preparation of transportation documents (bills of lading, reservations of ships, shipping permits, wharf receipts, import/export permits, etc.), and execution of customs duties. (For example, customs clearance by an affiliated customs broker), packaging and warehouse storage, insurance arrangement, mixing and distribution of small cargoes, etc.

At this time, since the forwarder preempts the transportation space and arranges to transport the shipper's goods based on the secured transportation space, it is important to preempt the transportation space of an appropriate size during the forwarder's work. For example, if the pre-secured transportation space is small compared to the shipper's goods, additional space may need to be secured later. Economic losses may occur.

Figure 2 is a flow chart for explaining the process of generating an automatic quotation for import/export air logistics processing and processing an order according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2 , first, in step S201, the device 200 obtains article information including the type of article, the number of articles, the volume of the article, and the weight of the article from the shipper, the wearing date of the article, and the release of the article It is possible to obtain schedule information including the date, the origin of the goods, and the destination of the goods. Here, the shipper may be one shipper or several shippers.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain article information including the type of article, the number of articles, the volume of the article, and the weight of the article from the shipper's terminal 110 , and the wearing date of the article, the outgoing date of the article , it is possible to obtain schedule information including the origin of the goods and the destination of the goods.

For example, when the shipper intends to send a microwave oven from Korea to the United States through the forwarder, the device 200 sets 'A', which is the type of microwave oven to be sent from the shipper's terminal, and 1,000, which is the number of microwave ovens. It is possible to obtain product information including dog, the volume of the microwave oven 4400 mm X 3410 mm X 2580 mm, and the microwave oven weight 9800 kg. On the 22nd of the month, you can obtain schedule information including Incheon Airport, the origin of the microwave oven, and John F. Kennedy Airport, the destination of the microwave oven.

In step S202 , the device 200 may obtain transport space information from the forwarder, and may acquire transport schedule information including a transport origin, transport destination, transport start date, and transport end date. Here, the forwarders may be an unspecified number of forwarders.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain transportation space information from the terminal 100 of the forwarder, and may obtain transportation schedule information including a transportation departure point, a transportation destination, a transportation start date, and a transportation end date.

For example, the device 200 obtains the first transport spatial information and the second transport spatial information secured by the 'A' forwarder from the terminal of the 'A' forwarder, and is a transport origin corresponding to the first transport spatial information. Incheon Airport, the John F. Kennedy Airport as the destination of transportation, and Incheon Airport as the departure point of transportation corresponding to the first transportation schedule information and the second transportation space information including the transportation start date of July 20 and the transportation end date of July 22 , the second transportation schedule information including Heathrow Airport, the transportation destination, August 1, the transportation start date, and August 3, the transportation end date, can be obtained, and from the terminal of the 'B' forwarder, Acquire the third transport spatial information that has been secured, and corresponding to the third transport spatial information, Incheon International Airport, the transport destination, John F. Kennedy Airport, the transport start date, July 21, and the transport end date, July Third transportation schedule information including 23 days may be obtained.

In step S203 , the device 200 compares the schedule information with the transportation schedule information to obtain the transportation space information of the first forwarder including the transportation schedule information matching the schedule information.

For example, the device 200 compares the schedule information obtained from the terminal of the 'A' shipper with the transportation schedule information obtained with the terminal of the 'A' forwarder so that the first transportation schedule information secured by the 'A' forwarder is It may be determined that the schedule information matches, and the first transport space information of the 'a' forwarder including the first transport schedule information may be acquired.

In step S204, the device 200 may check whether the goods of the shipper can be loaded in the transport space of the first forwarder.

That is, the device 200 may check whether the goods of the shipper can be loaded in a space other than the already reserved space among the transportation spaces of the first forwarder based on the article information obtained from the shipper.

For example, the schedule information obtained from the terminal of the 'A' shipper matches the first transportation schedule information of the 'A' forwarder, and the first transportation space information of the 'A' forwarder including the first transportation schedule information is obtained In one case, the device 200 may load the goods of the 'A' shipper in a space other than the already reserved space among the first transportation space of the 'A' forwarder based on the first transport space information of the 'A' forwarder You can check whether there is

If it is confirmed in step S204 that the cargo of the shipper can be loaded in the transport space of the first forwarder, in step S205, the device 200 matches and stores the shipper and the first forwarder, and the product information, schedule information and the first forwarder It is possible to generate an estimate corresponding to the transport space information of , and transmit the generated estimate to the terminal 110 of the shipper.

For example, the first transportation schedule information of the 'A' forwarder and the schedule information of the 'A' shipper match, and the goods of the 'A' shipper are located in the first transportation space corresponding to the first transportation schedule information of the 'A' forwarder. When there is space for 20 microwave ovens, the device 200 matches and stores the 'a' shipper and the 'a' forwarder, and the type of microwave oven acquired from the 'a' shipper's terminal is a home appliance , the number of microwave ovens of 1,000, the volume of the microwave oven 4400 mm X 3410 mm X 2580 mm, and the product information including the weight of the microwave oven 9800 kg, July 20, the storage date of the microwave oven, and the shipment of the microwave oven Date, July 22, schedule information including Incheon Airport, which is the origin of the microwave oven, and John F. Kennedy Airport, which is the destination of the microwave oven. The quotation can be transmitted to the terminal of the 'a' shipper.

If it is determined in step S204 that the cargo of the shipper cannot be loaded in the transport space of the first forwarder, in step S206, the device 200 compares the transport space information with the article information to find a transport space that can load the cargo of the shipper. By extracting the secured transportation schedule information of the second forwarder, and checking the schedule information and the transportation schedule information within the reference range, it is possible to generate recommended schedule information.

Here, the reference range may vary depending on the embodiment, and it may be determined that the origin is within the reference range if the country of origin is the same, or it may be determined that the reference range is within the reference range if the destination is the same country, and the difference between the arrival date and the start date of transportation If is less than 2 days, it may be determined to be within the reference range, and if the difference between the shipment date and the end date of transportation is less than 3 days, it may be determined to be within the reference range.

For example, the first transportation schedule information of the 'A' forwarder and the schedule information of the 'A' shipper match, but the goods of the 'A' shipper are located in the first transportation space corresponding to the first transportation schedule information of the 'A' forwarder. When there is no space to load 20 microwave ovens, the device 200 compares the transport space information obtained from the 'a' shipper and the 'b' shipper with the goods information, and a transport space in which the goods of the shipper can be loaded. It is possible to extract the secured transportation schedule information of the 'b' shipper, and check the schedule information and the third transportation schedule information within the reference range to generate recommended schedule information.

In step S207 , the device 200 may determine whether to change the recommended schedule information.

Specifically, the device 200 may transmit a message asking whether to change the schedule information to the recommended schedule information together with the recommended schedule information to the shipper's terminal 110 , and an input corresponding to the message from the shipper's terminal 110 . Accordingly, it may be confirmed whether the schedule information is changed to the recommended schedule information.

If it is confirmed in step S207 that it will be changed to the recommended schedule information, in step S208, the device 200 matches and stores the shipper and the second forwarder, and estimates corresponding to the goods information, the recommended schedule information, and the transport space information of the second forwarder can be generated and transmitted to the terminal 110 of the shipper.

For example, if it is confirmed that the schedule information of the 'a' shipper will be changed to the third transportation schedule information of the 'b' forwarder, the device 200 matches and stores the 'a' shipper and the 'b' forwarder, and 'a' 'Item information, including household appliances, the type of microwave oven obtained from the shipper's terminal, 1,000 microwave ovens, 4400 mm X 3410 mm X 2580 mm volume of microwave oven, and 9800 kg weight of microwave oven, and transportation The third transportation schedule information including the start date of July 21, the transportation end date of July 23, Incheon Airport as the origin of transportation, and John F. Kennedy Airport as the destination of transportation, and in the third transportation space of the 'b' forwarder A corresponding quotation may be generated, and the generated quotation may be transmitted to the terminal of the 'a' shipper.

If it is confirmed in step S207 that it will not be changed to the recommended schedule information, in step S209, the device 200 transmits a message that a space is needed to load the goods of the shipper to the terminal of the forwarder, and includes the goods information, schedule information and An estimated estimate corresponding to the transport space information capable of loading the goods of the shipper may be generated and transmitted to the terminal 110 of the shipper.

For example, if it is confirmed that the 'A' shipper's schedule information will not be changed to the 'B' forwarder's third transportation schedule information, the device 200 indicates that a space for loading the 'A' shipper's goods is required. The message is transmitted to the terminal 100 of the forwarder including the terminal of the 'A' forwarder and the terminal of the 'B' forwarder, and the number of household appliances and microwave ovens that are the types of microwaves obtained from the terminal of the 'A' shipper 1,000 pieces, product information including 4400 mm X 3410 mm X 2580 mm (the volume of the microwave oven) and 9800 kg (the weight of the microwave oven), the storage date of the microwave oven, July 20, and the delivery date of the microwave oven, July 22 , Incheon Airport, the origin of the microwave oven, John F. Kennedy Airport, the destination of the microwave oven, and generating an estimated estimate corresponding to the transportation space information that can load the goods of the 'a' shipper. It can be transmitted to the shipper's terminal.

3 is a flowchart for explaining a process of identifying a time when a lot of logistics is processed and transmitting a message to secure a sufficient space to a terminal of a forwarder at that time according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3 , first, in step S301 , the device 200 may extract the first shippers who have processed the logistics a number of times greater than a preset reference value and create them as a first group. Here, the preset reference value may vary according to an embodiment.

Specifically, the apparatus 200 may determine the first shipper who has processed the logistics a number of times greater than a preset reference value as a regular customer and create the first group as a regular customer.

For example, when the preset reference value is 5 times, the device 200 processes shipper 'A' who processed the logistics 6 times, shipper 'B' who processed the logistics 7 times, and shipper 'C' who processed the logistics 6 times. may be created as the first group.

In step S302, the device 200 may acquire the first group of material processing data. Here, the logistics processing data may include a date of processing the logistics corresponding to the shipper.

For example, if there are shippers 'A', 'B', and 'C' in the first group, the device 200 acquires the logistics processing data of 'A' and 'A' shipper in 2020 You can check that the logistics were processed in January, July, 2021, January, July, and January 2022 You can see that the logistics were processed in January, September, 2020, January, 2021, September, and May 2022. It can be seen that the company processed the logistics in September, November, 2021, and January, March, May, and July of 2022.

In step S303 , the device 200 may generate a logistics processing cycle of the first shipper belonging to the first group based on the logistics processing data.

For example, shipper 'A' handled logistics in January, July, 2021, January, July, 2022, and July, 2020, and shipper 'B' in May 2018, 2019 Logistics were processed in January, September, May 2020, January, September, and May 2022, and shipper 'C' in September, November, 2021, January, March, 2022, and When the logistics are processed in May and July, the device 200 may generate the logistics processing cycle of 'A' shipper as 6 months, and generate the logistics processing cycle of 'B' shipper as 8 months, , the logistic processing cycle of shipper 'C' can be created as 2 months.

In step S304 , the device 200 may identify a first period in which the logistics of the first group are concentrated, based on the generated material processing cycle.

For example, the logistics processing cycle of shipper 'A' is 6 months, the last logistics processing was in July 2022, the logistics processing cycle of shipper 'B' is 8 months, and the last logistics processing in May 2022. , and if the logistics processing cycle of 'C' shipper is 2 months and the logistics were last processed in July 2022, the device 200 displays the logistics of 'A' shipper, 'B' shipper, and 'C' shipper. Through the processing cycle and material handling data, January 2023 can be identified as the first period of heavy logistics.

In step S305 , the device 200 may generate a second group by extracting the second shipper who has processed the logistics a number of times smaller than a preset reference value.

Specifically, the device 200 may determine the second shipper who has processed the logistics a number of times smaller than the preset reference value as a short-term customer and create the second group as a second group.

In step S306 , the device 200 may identify a second period in which the second group of logistics is concentrated.

For example, as a result of analyzing the period of consolidation of logistics for the second group, if logistics is concentrated in September 2019, November-December 2020, January, September, and January 2022, The device 200 may identify January, September and December 2023 as the second period in which the second group of logistics is concentrated.

In step S307 , the device 200 may generate a logistics concentration period by applying a first weight to the first period and a second weight smaller than the first weight to the second period.

Specifically, the device 200 applies the first weight to the first period obtained from the first group determined as long-term customers, and is smaller than the first weight to the second period obtained from the second group determined as short-term customers. The second weight may be applied to generate a logistics concentration period. The reason that the second weight is smaller than the first weight is that the second period obtained from the second group determined as short-term customers may change depending on market conditions, so it is determined that the second weight is more uncertain than the first group. It may be set smaller than the first weight.

In step S308 , the device 200 may transmit a message requesting to secure a transportation space to the terminal 100 of the forwarder when the logistics concentration period is reached.

Specifically, the device 200 generates a logistics concentration period through the first period obtained from the first group and the second period obtained from the second group, and when the distribution concentration period is reached, the transportation command to secure a sufficient transportation space A space securing request message may be transmitted to the terminal 100 of the forwarder.

That is, the device 200 seeks to identify a point in time when a lot of logistics is processed through the logistics processing data, and to request the forwarder to secure a sufficient amount of transportation space at the corresponding point in time.

4 is a view for explaining a process of transmitting a space securing required message to a forwarder when the spatial saturation is greater than or equal to a reference ratio by checking the spatial saturation of a transport space according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 4 , first, in step S401 , after the shipper and the specific forwarder are matched, the device 200 may check the spatial saturation of the transport space from the transport space information of the specific forwarder. In this case, the space saturation may be checked in percentage units as the ratio of the reserved space to the total space.

Specifically, when the shipper and the forwarder match, the device 200 may check the spatial saturation of the transport space in order to check how much free space in the transport space of the corresponding forwarder remains.

In step S402 , the device 200 may determine whether the spatial saturation is greater than the first reference ratio. Here, the first reference ratio is a preset ratio and may vary according to embodiments.

If it is determined in step S402 that the spatial saturation is greater than the first reference ratio, in step S403 , the device 200 may determine whether the spatial saturation is greater than the second reference ratio. Here, the second reference ratio may be a ratio preset to a ratio greater than the first reference ratio, and may vary according to embodiments.

If it is determined in step S403 that the spatial saturation is greater than the second reference ratio, in step S404 , the device 200 may transmit a space requirement message to a terminal of a specific forwarder.

For example, when the first reference ratio is 70%, the second reference ratio is 85%, and the spatial saturation of the transport space of the first forwarder is 95%, the device 200 secures space to the terminal of the first forwarder You can send the message you need.

If it is determined in step S403 that the spatial saturation is not greater than the second reference ratio, in step S405, the device 200 extracts a transport start date from the transport schedule information of a specific forwarder, and subtracts the current date from the transport start date. You can create an impending period.

For example, when the first reference ratio is 70%, the second reference ratio is 85%, and the spatial saturation of the transportation space of the first forwarder is 80%, the device 200 is You can extract the shipping start date and create an impending period by subtracting the current date from the shipping start date.

In step S406 , the device 200 may determine whether the impending period is greater than the reference period. Here, the reference period is a preset period and may vary according to embodiments.

If it is determined in step S406 that the imminent period is greater than the reference period, in step S407 , the device 200 may transmit a space requirement message to a terminal of a specific forwarder.

For example, when the first reference ratio is 70%, the second reference ratio is 85%, the space saturation of the transport space of the first forwarder is 80%, the impending period is 7 days, and the reference period is 5 days, the device 200 determines that the imminent period is greater than the reference period, and may transmit a space requirement message to the terminal of the first forwarder.

If it is determined in step S406 that the imminent period is not greater than the reference period, in step S408 , the device 200 may transmit a space availability message to a terminal of a specific forwarder.

For example, when the first reference ratio is 70%, the second reference ratio is 85%, the space saturation of the transport space of the first forwarder is 80%, the impending period is 3 days, and the reference period is 5 days, the device 200 determines that the impending period is smaller than the reference period, and may transmit a space availability message to the terminal of the first forwarder.

That is, the device 200 checks the space saturation of the transport space of the forwarder after the shipper and the forwarder are matched, and when the space is filled with a pre-reserved seat, a space requirement message or a space securing possibility message can be transmitted to the forwarder terminal. have.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of providing a shipping space with a discount to a shipper with a near imminent period according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5 , first, in step S501 , the device 200 may extract a transport start date from transport schedule information of the forwarder, and set the imminent period as a value obtained by subtracting the current date from the transport start date.

In step S502 , the device 200 may obtain the transport space information of the forwarder with a short imminent period, and check the spatial saturation of the forwarder by using the goods information of the shipper matched with the forwarder.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain transport space information of a forwarder whose impending period is shorter than a preset period, and check the spatial saturation of the transport space of the forwarder.

In step S503 , the device 200 may determine whether the spatial saturation is less than a threshold ratio. Here, the threshold ratio is a preset ratio and may vary according to embodiments.

If it is determined in step S503 that the spatial saturation is smaller than the threshold ratio, in step S504, the device 200 may generate an estimate including transport schedule information, transport space information, and discount information of the corresponding forwarder. In this case, the discount information may be determined according to the imminent period and space saturation.

Specifically, when the impending period is short and the space saturation is less than the threshold ratio, the device 200 includes transport schedule information, transport space information, and discount information to sell a transport space with free space with little remaining imminent period. You can create a quote.

Also, the device 200 determines discount information according to the impending period and spatial saturation, and the discount rate may be greater as the impending period is shorter and the spatial saturation is smaller, and the discount rate may be lower as the impending period is longer and the space saturation is greater.

For example, if the impending period is shorter than a preset period of 2 days, the space saturation is 35%, and the threshold ratio is 50%, the device 200 transports to sell the transport space to sell the corresponding transport space. A quote can be created including schedule information and shipping space information, and discount information to discount the shipping space by 50%.

Also, when the impending period is shorter than the preset period of 1 day, the space saturation is 35%, and the threshold ratio is 50%, the device 200 sends the transport schedule information to sell the transport space to sell the corresponding transport space. and shipping space information and discount information stating that the corresponding shipping space is discounted by 75%.

In addition, when the impending period is shorter than the preset period of 2 days, the space saturation is 25%, and the threshold ratio is 50%, the device 200 sends the transport schedule information to sell the transport space to sell the corresponding transport space. and transportation space information and discount information indicating that the corresponding transportation space is discounted by 70%, to generate an estimate.

In step S505, the device 200 may transmit the generated quotation to the terminal of the shipper.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain the transport space information of the forwarder with a short imminent period, check the spatial saturation of the transport space of the forwarder, and if there is free space in the transport space of the forwarder, discount the space By generating an estimate to sell and transmitting the generated estimate to the shipper's terminal, the forwarder can reduce economic loss and the shipper can purchase the space at a low price.

6 is a flow chart for explaining a process of generating an estimate for storage of goods when a shipper's goods are stored in a storage place of a forwarder according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 6 , first, in step S601 , the device 200 may receive goods storage information and a storage request for goods from the shipper's terminal 110 . Here, the article storage information may include article information, an article storage period, and an article storage season.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain from the forwarder whether there is a storage place for the goods that the forwarder has, and if there is a storage place for the goods of the forwarder, the goods to be processed by logistics to the shipper's terminal 110 are stored in the forwarder. It is possible to transmit a message asking whether or not to store in a place, and receive information on storage of goods and a request for storage of goods from the terminal 110 of the shipper.

In step S602, the device 200 may obtain the shipper's location information from the shipper.

Specifically, the device 200 may obtain the location information of the shipper from the shipper, and when the shipper is an exporter through the location information of the shipper, the first departure point that is where the shipper's goods are present or produced may be confirmed, and the shipper If you are an importer, you can check the final destination, which is where the shipper's goods should finally arrive. That is, the initial origin and final destination of the goods may be the location of the shipper.

In step S603 , the device 200 may extract the origin of the article based on the schedule information.

Specifically, when the shipper is an exporter, the device 200 may extract the origin of the product, which is a place where the product departs through air, based on schedule information, and, if the shipper is an importer, based on the schedule information , it is possible to extract the destination of the goods, which is a place that arrives by air. That is, the origin and destination of the goods may be an airport.

In step S604 , the device 200 may obtain location information of a storage location of an article of the forwarder from the forwarder. Here, the goods storage place of the forwarder may be the goods storage warehouse of the forwarder owned by the forwarder to store goods on behalf of the shipper in order to effectively process the logistics.

In operation S605 , the device 200 may generate the first distance based on the location information of the storage place and the origin of the product.

For example, if the goods storage place of the forwarder is in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, and the origin of the goods is Incheon Airport, the device 200 generates the first distance as 40 km based on the location information of the goods storage place and the origin of the goods. can do.

In step S606 , the device 200 may generate a second distance based on the shipper's location information and the origin of the article.

For example, if the shipper's location is in Chungju-si, Chungcheongbuk-do, and the origin of the goods is Incheon Airport, the device 200 may generate the second distance as 140 km based on the shipper's location information and the origin of the goods.

In operation S607 , the device 200 may compare the first distance and the second distance to determine whether the first distance is more dusty than the second distance.

If it is determined in step S607 that the first distance is farther than the second distance, in step S608, the device 200 generates an article storage estimate in response to the article storage information, and transfers the generated article storage estimate to the shipper's terminal 110 can be transmitted

For example, if the first distance is 40 km and the second distance is 30 km, the device 200 generates an article storage estimate in response to article storage information including article information, article storage period, and article storage season, The generated goods storage estimate may be transmitted to the terminal 110 of the shipper.

If it is determined in step S607 that the second distance is greater than the first distance, in step S608, the device 200 generates an article storage estimate in response to the article storage information, and applies a discount rate corresponding to the excess distance to the generated article storage estimate. By applying the discount rate, it is possible to transmit an estimate for storage of goods to the terminal 110 of the shipper. Here, the excess distance is generated as a value obtained by subtracting the first distance from the second distance.

For example, when the first distance is 40 km and the second distance is 140 km, the device 200 generates an article storage estimate in response to article storage information including article information, article storage period, and article storage season, By applying a discount rate corresponding to the excess distance of 110 km to the generated goods storage estimate, the item storage estimate to which the discount rate is applied may be transmitted to the terminal 110 of the shipper.

That is, when the location of the shipper is farther than the storage location of the forwarder based on the origin of the product, the device 200 generates an estimate for storage of the product by applying a discount rate corresponding to the excess distance. , it can induce the use of the storage place of the forwarder, so that logistics processing can be more effective, and even if the forwarder and the shipper are not located close to each other, the goods can be stored at a discounted price can do the job.

7 is a flowchart for explaining a process of recommending a forwarder having a shorter average actual transport duration by analyzing an average actual transport duration for each of forwarders corresponding to a country, according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in step S701 , the device 200 may classify forwarders, among the forwarders, having a greater experience of handling logistics in a first country than a preset target value into the first group.

Specifically, the device 200 may receive a forwarder recommendation request corresponding to the first country from the shipper, and in order to recommend a forwarder corresponding to the first country, the experience of handling the logistics of the first country among the forwarders is preset Forwarders greater than the target value may be classified as the first group.

In step S702 , the device 200 may acquire transport experience data corresponding to the logistics processing of the forwarder classified into the first group.

That is, the device 200 may acquire transport experience data of forwarders classified into the first group. Here, the transport experience data of the forwarders are transport experience data related to the first country, including the number of times that they have been transported to the first country, and how long it took from the actual transport start date to the actual transport end date for each transport experience. It is transport experience data related to logistics processing in a country.

In step S703 , the device 200 may generate actual transport required periods from the actual transport start date to the actual transport end date from the transport experience data corresponding to the logistics processing.

For example, as a result of checking the transportation experience data of the forwarder 'A', a forwarder classified into the first group, the actual transportation start date corresponding to the first transportation experience is 10 am on July 1, and the actual transportation end date is If it is 22:00 PM on July 2, the device 200 may generate an actual transit period corresponding to the first transit experience as 2 days.

In step S704 , the device 200 may generate average actual transport durations corresponding to each of the forwarders classified into the first group, based on the actual transport durations.

Specifically, the device 200 may extract the actual transport durations of forwarders classified into the first group, and may generate an average actual transport duration by calculating an average of the actual transport durations for each forwarder.

For example, as a result of checking the actual transport durations of the forwarders 'A', which are forwarders classified into the first group, if they are 1.5 days, 1.7 days, and 1.3 days, respectively, the device 200 determines the average actual transport duration of the 'A' forwarders. can be created in 1.5 days.

In step S705, when the average actual transport duration is shorter than the predefined threshold duration, the device 200 calculates the average actual transport duration from among the weights in the criteria for recommending a forwarder corresponding to the first country. It can be increased in inverse proportion to the period.

Specifically, the device 200 generates an average actual transport duration of forwarders classified into the first group, extracts forwarders whose average actual transport duration is shorter than a predefined threshold duration, and the first of the forwarders. Among the weights in the criteria for recommending a forwarder corresponding to a country, the weight for the required period may be increased in inverse proportion to the average actual transit time.

For example, the average actual transit time of forwarders 'A', which is a forwarder classified into the first group, is 1.5 days, the average actual transit time of forwarders 'B' is 2.2 days, and the average actual transit time of forwarders 'C' is 2.2 days. If the lead time is 1 day, the average actual transit time of the 'La' forwarder is 0.8 days, and the predefined threshold period is 2 days, the device 200 returns 2.2 days, which is the average actual transit time of the 'I' forwarder. Since it is longer than the critical period of 2 days, no weight is given to the required period, 8 points are given to 'A' forwarder for the required period, and 12 points are given to 'Da' forwarder for the required period. , it is possible to give the 'La' forwarder a weight of 15 points for the required period.

In step S706 , the device 200 may recommend a forwarder corresponding to the first country to the shipper by applying a weight.
