In general, in a transaction between a wholesaler that supplies products and a retailer that sells products supplied by the wholesaler to consumers, when the retailer receives orders from consumers for products, aggregates the orders, and places an order with the wholesaler, This is done in a way that wholesalers ship to retailers in accordance with the aggregated quantity. In this case, the retailer usually pays for the product in advance at the same time as the order, and the wholesaler checks the stock of the product after payment and releases it or proceeds with manufacturing a product in insufficient quantity.

Wholesalers are burdened with pre-manufacturing a large number of products and holding inventory in a situation where it is difficult to predict the order quantity from retailers. In particular, in the fashion and apparel industries, which are sensitive to trends, there is inevitably a large loss due to inventory, so wholesalers hold only a certain amount of inventory and carry out wholesale and retail transactions by manufacturing additional products when more orders are received. can only

According to this method of wholesale and retail trade, if a retailer is placed in a delayed shipment state due to out-of-stock or additional production after the retailer pays the price in advance, the retailer has to wait until the ordered product is shipped, relying on the credit of the wholesaler. A problem arises in doing so. At this time, the retailer is notified of the out-of-stock and delayed arrival of the product from the wholesaler only after the prepayment of the price, so it is impossible to properly handle customer satisfaction (C/S) for consumers while selling the product. will be hindered by In addition, if the order is canceled and the payment is refunded due to the wholesaler's inability to secure inventory later, the retailer will experience difficulties in not being able to flow funds until the actual refund process is completed. In particular, when a large number of orders or transactions are made for high-priced products, the burden on retailers for prepayment is greatly increased. In addition, since wholesale and retail transactions are often carried out offline orally or in writing, a number of financial accidents often occur during this process.

Furthermore, retailers that sell products to consumers are mostly open during the daytime, while wholesalers that manufacture and distribute products in large quantities are mostly open late at night or early in the morning. According to this, when a retailer inquires about a restocking schedule from a wholesaler or requests to change the quantity, size, color, etc. of necessary products, considerable inconvenience is experienced. Because of these problems, most retailers have no choice but to operate their business with a heavy burden.

Recently, as an attempt to break away from the conventional one-sided prepayment transaction practice performed offline, various transaction mediation methods performed online have been proposed (refer to Prior Art Documents 1 and 2 below), but in the prepayment method, wholesalers and retailers interact with each other. There is no method that can clearly and quickly process the release of products or the refund of prepayment while ensuring reliability and predictability between the two countries.

Therefore, it is urgent to introduce a method and system that can prevent financial accidents between wholesalers and retailers in advance and mediate wholesale and retail transactions based on accurate inventory status information.
