Description

Incoterms-based import and export logistics management device and method {INCOTERMS-BASED IMPORT/EXPORT LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND METHOD}

The present invention relates to import and export logistics management technology, and more particularly, to an Incoterms-based import and export logistics management apparatus and method capable of standardizing and managing scattered export-import-related information for each Incoterm.

A forwarder is a multimodal transport broker that can efficiently distribute and ship cargoes of shippers that have a relatively small capacity in a cargo ship of a shipping company (international carrier) or an airline's aircraft cargo that can load a large amount of cargo at one time. It may correspond to a logistics company that acts as an intermediary for the delivery of goods, and at the same time handles overall tasks such as customs clearance and insurance for the cargoes brokered by itself.

In general, a shipper or forwarder performs logistics operations from an overseas port of arrival to the final destination in import and export logistics by using an existing local partner, a local overseas logistics company, or through a local overseas logistics company linked through other routes. operation is requested.

Disadvantages resulting from the absence of information are causing economic losses.

In addition, in the case of import logistics coming from abroad, smooth communication with various transport entities is essential for logistics processing such as cargo unloading, customs declaration, and cargo dispatch for inland transportation. The efficiency of logistics management is very low due to the operating system of an independent structure between players.

In addition, in some cases, logistics must be carried out in accordance with various environments and situations, such as cargoes must be transported quickly within a specific date or transported at the lowest logistics cost regardless of the date. However, due to limitations in information collection, domestic shippers There is a problem that logistics is performed regardless of the intention of the forwarder and the forwarder.

In addition, conventionally, shippers or forwarders not only have the inconvenience of having to prepare each document separately, even though the documents related to one import and export logistics case are similar in content, but also manpower such as rewriting due to errors, processing time and retransmission costs in case of defects And there is a problem that the overall cost increases.

Referring to FIG. 9A , the import/export logistics management device 130 can provide the optimal price and the best customer management service regardless of the amount of transport (portlogics and TOMS in FIG. 9A). The import/export logistics management device 130 can receive and process requests from various small shippers with less manpower consumption compared to conventional methods. That is, it is possible to provide a function of negotiating freight rates with shipping companies and airlines through volume purchase by integrating and processing small cargo orders received from various shippers. Through this, the import/export logistics management device 130 can provide a reasonable freight rate even to small and medium-sized shippers who do not have a lot of goods. In FIG. 9A , in the case of the conventional method, if the total price is 100 dollars, the cost to be paid by the shipper may correspond to $ 100 / 1 = 100 dollars according to the total transportation cost / number of containers. On the other hand, in the case of the import and export logistics management device 130, if the total price is 320 dollars, the cost to be paid by the shipper may correspond to $ 320 / 4 = 80 dollars depending on the total transportation cost / number of containers.

Referring to FIG. 9B, the import/export logistics management device 130 can improve the existing manpower-based work structure by implementing integrated management of work status and real-time work sharing space, and all related workers can view data at the same time, thereby replacing It may be easy to input manpower (TOMS in FIG. 9B). That is, under the existing forwarder business system, it was necessary to transmit individual documents such as e-mail and fax, and integrated document management was impossible due to the use of various media such as documents and messengers. It was difficult to secure real-time.

On the other hand, the import and export logistics management device 130 may provide only viewing rights through a shared database when handing over the business between different shippers, and thus may not require separate data transmission. In addition, the import and export logistics management device 130 may be capable of real-time business status management without checking individual documents, and may provide digital POD, document storage, and communication channels. As a result, the import and export logistics management device 130 can easily handle business takeover and history management through integrated data and integrated communication media.

Referring to Figure 9c, the import and export logistics management device 130 can improve the problem that the cost is opaque and inaccurately calculated in the existing estimate calculation process. That is, the import/export logistics management device 130 may provide a transparent and accurate estimate through an automatic cost calculation system (portlogics in FIG. 9c). For example, in FIG. 9C , an export shipper may directly select additional terms and specifications regarding CIF, Export, Sea, DRY Container and Dangerous Goods through the system. The import/export logistics management device 130 may immediately calculate the estimated cost at the time when the corresponding items are input through a preset algorithm.

That is, the import/export logistics management device 130 may create an automatic quotation by clearly displaying additional cost items and costs, and may provide the estimated quotation to the export shipper terminal. In addition, the import and export logistics management device 130 can provide an immediate and accurate estimate through big data of the same or similar section. Accordingly, the import/export logistics management device 130 can accurately identify and provide all cost items through TOMS, and can expand the transparency of related costs.

Although the above has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art will variously modify and change the present invention within the scope not departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims below. You will understand that it can be done.
