Below, a specific example of a method for immediate delivery using a mobile warehouse will be described.

The present invention provides an immediate delivery service that utilizes a mobile warehouse to deliver customer-ordered products within a short period of time (for example, at least 5 to 60 minutes). Online sales operators, including existing businesses as well as those wishing to enter new markets, can easily build online channels and provide immediate delivery services to customers by utilizing the immediate delivery platform and mobile warehouse.

The instant delivery platform according to the present invention consists of an administrator web, a user (customer) app, and a driver app, and is a platform that provides the overall environment, including settings and operation, for the immediate delivery service.

The instant delivery service according to the present invention allows products to be delivered to the customer in an extremely short period of time by loading/storing products to be pre-sold in a mobile warehouse and immediately delivering them to the mobile warehouse near the customer when an order is received through the instant delivery platform. .

The partner company's manager uses the manager terminal 110 to set up service operations such as product registration, service area, and vehicle operation on the instant delivery platform.

A driver operating a mobile warehouse receives products from a partner company's base, stores them in the mobile warehouse, moves to the service area in advance, confirms customer orders through the driver terminal 120, and provides delivery services.

In the case where the immediate delivery platform according to the present invention includes an environment that can be linked to an external delivery platform, in addition to the driver who operates the mobile warehouse for quick delivery of customer-ordered products, it is possible to link nearby external delivery platforms based on the location of the mobile warehouse. Delivery riders located in can participate.

Users using the instant delivery service can check the location of nearby mobile warehouses and search for products through the customer app installed on the user terminal 130, and receive the ordered products within a very short period of time after ordering.

The instant delivery platform according to the present invention consists of an administrator web, a user (customer) app, and a driver app, and the immediate delivery service can be set up by zip code, and operating hours and operating products can be freely set to provide a flexible and strategic service. Operation is possible.

The administrator web may include an administrator settings page where the partner company's administrator can register products, set service areas based on zip code, inventory management by product, inventory management by vehicle, service monitoring, etc.

The driver app is a driver-only application that confirms customer orders, provides delivery address and route information, confirms delivered products and tasks, delivers work, and checks delivery details.

The user (customer) app is a customer application that allows checking mobile warehouse location, product information, ordering and payment, and delivery monitoring.

The mobile warehouse used in the present invention refers to a means of transportation for delivery, such as a vehicle such as a truck. The delivery vehicle and the logistics system are integrated so that a partner company (product consignment company) can store, maintain, and immediately deliver products without a logistics base. It refers to a possible new concept of complex delivery means. For example, a mobile warehouse may include a 1-ton truck-based storage and loading module (hardware) and inventory management and inventory monitoring functions (software) within the mobile warehouse. Furthermore, the mobile warehouse lineup and services can be expanded for inventory replenishment, order processing, and mobile stores equipped with a logistics automation system.

Figure 3 is a flowchart showing an example of an immediate delivery service method that can be performed by a computer device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processor 220 of the computer device 200 may control the computer device 200 to perform steps S310 to S330 included in the immediate delivery service method according to FIG. 3. For example, the processor 220 may be implemented to execute instructions according to the code of an operating system included in the memory 210 and the code of at least one program.

Here, the processor 220 may be expressions of different functions performed by the processor 220 according to instructions provided by program codes stored in the computer device 200.

The processor 220 may read necessary instructions from the memory 210 where instructions related to controlling the computer device 200 are loaded. In this case, the read command may include a command for controlling the processor 220 to execute steps S310 to S330 that will be described later.

Steps S310 to S330, which will be described later, may be performed in an order different from the order shown in FIG. 3, and some of the steps S310 to S330 may be omitted or additional processes may be included.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step S310, the processor 220 may set the service area of the mobile warehouse. For example, the processor 220 may set the area selected by the manager based on the zip code as the service area of the mobile warehouse operated by the manager. Administrators can freely set the desired service area to operate the mobile warehouse. As another example, the processor 220 may recommend a service area for the mobile warehouse and set the area selected by the manager within the recommended area as the service area for the mobile warehouse. The processor 220 can recommend a service area through various recommendation logic. For example, it can recommend a service area based on regional ranking based on order volume or recommend a nearby service area based on a location set by the administrator. . Additionally, the recommendation for the service area may vary depending on at least one of the operating hours and operating products of the mobile warehouse. In this case, the step of setting the operating hours and operating products of the mobile warehouse (S320) may be performed first. By analyzing the order volume in each region by time or product, service areas that can provide high profits can be recommended depending on the mobile warehouse's operating hours or operating products.

In step S320, the processor 220 can set the service area of the mobile warehouse, as well as operating hours and operating products. For example, the processor 220 can set the time and products at which the manager wants to operate the mobile warehouse. Managers can operate as many vehicles as they want, at the desired time, and can configure the product as they wish and operate it freely. As another example, the processor 220 may recommend the operating hours and operating products of the mobile warehouse and may set the times and products selected by the manager within the recommendation range as the operating hours and operating products of the mobile warehouse. The processor 220 can recommend at least one of operating hours and operating products through various recommendation logic. For example, it can recommend operating hours and operating products of a mobile warehouse based on ranking based on order quantity. Additionally, operating hours and recommendations for operating products may vary depending on the service area of the mobile warehouse. By analyzing the distribution of order times and ordered products in each region, it is possible to recommend times and products that can provide high profits depending on the service area of the mobile warehouse.

In step S330, the processor 220 may provide an immediate delivery service using the mobile warehouse based on the service area, operating hours, and operating products of the mobile warehouse. At this time, the processor 220 can provide product registration, service area setting, inventory management (inventory by product, inventory by mobile warehouse (vehicle)), service monitoring, etc. as an administrator environment. Additionally, the processor 220 can provide customer order confirmation, delivery address/route confirmation, delivery product/task confirmation, and delivery work history confirmation as a driver environment for the immediate delivery service according to the administrator's settings. Additionally, the processor 220 can provide mobile warehouse/product information confirmation, order/payment, order/delivery monitoring, etc. as a user environment for immediate delivery service according to the administrator's settings.

The processor 220 can provide KPI (Key Performance Indicator) information for each partner company regarding immediate delivery services using mobile warehouses, and the manager of each partner company can increase mobile warehouses or manage the service of each mobile warehouse based on the KPI information. You can reset at least one of the regions, operating hours, and operating products.

Figure 4 is an example diagram for explaining the driver delivery process in one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 4, the driver in charge of delivery using the mobile warehouse visits the partner company's logistics base or offline store in advance and loads and stores the products set by the manager in the mobile warehouse (process ①).

The driver moves to the service area set by the manager for the mobile warehouse he operates and waits for customer orders within the service area for the time set by the manager (process ②).

When order information is received from a customer within the service area, the driver confirms the product ordered by the customer and the delivery address through the order information and then begins delivery (process ③). The processor 220 requests product delivery for orders within the service area set for the mobile warehouse to the driver terminal of the mobile warehouse. At this time, if the operating hours are set for the mobile warehouse, the processor 220 may request product delivery for orders within the operating hours among orders within the service area to the driver terminal of the mobile warehouse. The processor 220 can transmit order information, including the product ordered by the user and the delivery address, to the driver terminal through the driver app.

After arriving at the delivery location, the driver prepares the product ordered by the customer at the mobile warehouse and delivers the product (process ④). The driver can input the delivery status, such as delivery preparation, delivery, delivery completion, etc., through the driver app and transmit it to the immediate delivery server 150 (processor 220).

When the time set by the manager has elapsed, the driver ends work and returns the inventory products in the mobile warehouse to the partner company's logistics base or offline store.

Figures 5 and 6 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a user ordering process in one embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, a user using an immediate delivery service using a mobile warehouse accesses a dedicated app and checks the location of the mobile warehouse (process ①). Processor 220 provides the location of each waiting mobile warehouse within the service area that includes the location specified by the user, for example, the user's current location or the location selected by the user, upon user request through the user (customer) app. can do. Processor 220 may provide the location of the mobile warehouse using a map of the service area.

The user selects a mobile warehouse that can be ordered based on location through a dedicated app, checks the products available for purchase within the selected mobile warehouse, and then orders and pays for the specific product (process ②). The processor 220 not only provides a product ordering process in the order in which the user confirms the location of the mobile warehouse and then confirms the product, but also provides a product ordering process in which the user checks the entire list of products available for purchase through the mobile warehouse within the service area and then selects the product. It is also possible to provide a product ordering process in the following order. In the case of the latter product ordering process, when you select the product you want to purchase from the product list, a map can display which mobile warehouse the product is from.

Referring to Figure 6, after the product order is completed through the dedicated app, the user checks the delivery status of the ordered product (process ③). The processor 220 may provide delivery status information for products ordered by the user, and for example, may provide delivery status including the real-time location of the mobile warehouse in charge of delivery of the user-ordered products based on a map.

Once product delivery by the driver is completed, the user confirms product receipt and delivery completion information through the dedicated app (process ④). The processor 220 can provide notifications related to product delivery through the user app, and, for example, can provide notifications according to delivery status transitions such as order completed, ready for delivery, in delivery, and delivery complete.

Below, with reference to FIG. 7, a method of configuring a product receipt set (product set) for products to be received in a mobile warehouse will be described in more detail.

The mobile warehouse inventory receipt and management process is as follows (see Figure 7).

When registering a mobile warehouse (vehicle) on the administrator page through the administrator terminal 110, it may be necessary to set essential operating standards. At this time, major criteria may be set, for example, operation area (service area), service time (operation time), operation product set, inventory receipt processing time, etc. The service operation area may be set based on zip code (or other administrative districts).

Additionally, for the mobile warehouse, a product set can be set for products received there. The product set may be a set of products to be sold because the driver (i.e., driver terminal 110) and/or manager of the mobile warehouse cannot directly set up/stock individual products in the mobile warehouse each time. .

For example, such a product set may be a convenience store set - 40 items, a dinner side dish set - 25 items, etc. A product set may include multiple types of products corresponding to a specific category. Additionally, the product set may include a predetermined number of products for each type. Depending on the composition of this product set, products tailored to a strategy, such as a sales concept through a mobile warehouse, can be set in advance.

Depending on the composition of this product set, sorting/loading operations may be prepared in an offline store for storage in a mobile warehouse.

In the case of receiving and processing products in a mobile warehouse, the driver can inquire about the product receiving processing on the server 150 (for example, through the driver terminal 120). For example, the driver can check loading notifications/list inquiries for the mobile warehouse through the driver terminal 120, and check tasks related to warehousing, check the quantity/type of products, and inventory quantity.

Meanwhile, the product set can be set by setting a category for the operating product in the process of setting the service area of the mobile warehouse. In addition, the stocking process (e.g., checking inventory list, checking physical stock, stocking, etc.) for a set of products can be automated through stocking settings by the manager (and/or driver).

Constructing a product set and storing it in a mobile warehouse has the following significance. It requires a lot of effort to register products to be sold (detail page) on the administrator's web (partner company = distributor), select individual products to be sold each time, and manually enter the appropriate quantity. Additionally, as the number of mobile warehouse operations increases, the workload may increase significantly.

In contrast, when using a product set, the products to be sold can be strategically configured to suit the service area and target customers, thereby enabling smooth service operation, strategic sales, and service provision. In addition, services can be advanced by optimizing product arrival sets based on customer sales data, service operation data, etc.

Referring to Figure 7, the method of configuring a product set will be described in more detail.

The product set may be configured according to the settings of a predetermined category. The manager can set a plurality of required items (via the manager terminal 110) in relation to the product set. Required items may include logistics company settings, distributor settings, category settings, service area settings, and warehousing-related settings for the products included in the product set.

The configured product set can be stored in the mobile warehouse according to the set warehouse-related settings. In response to a stocking request, the driver can check the inventory list of products included in the stocked product set (through the driver terminal 120) and check the actual items in the mobile warehouse. Accordingly, sales and delivery can be made for products included in the product set.

For example, in an embodiment, a product set corresponding to a predetermined category may be configured. A product set includes multiple types of products, and each type may include a predetermined number of products. According to the stocking settings set in relation to the product set, the product set may be stocked in the mobile warehouse. In other words, the product set can be received into the mobile warehouse as a unit of the product set. The driver of the mobile warehouse can inquire the type and quantity of products included in the product set received into his or her mobile warehouse through the driver terminal 120.

In the embodiment, warehousing and management of each product set can be performed by configuring such a product set, thereby maximizing the efficiency of use of the mobile warehouse.

In short, through the embodiments, a mobile store capable of immediate delivery can be implemented through a location-based delivery service relay platform by using a vehicle-based mobile warehouse as a means of storing and supplying products, and further functions such as movement, storage, and cold chain. By using the type locker as a mobile warehouse, high delivery quality can be provided.

In this way, according to embodiments of the present invention, immediate delivery of a customer's product order can be provided using a mobile warehouse based on a moving object. Selling products can be stored in a mobile warehouse vehicle and delivered immediately, making delivery speed fast and delivery quality management easy.

In addition, it has the advantage of low investment costs as there is no need to secure a logistics base and logistics infrastructure for ultra-short-term delivery services, and low service operation costs because it does not require labor costs, operating costs, or management for logistics bases and delivery services. In addition, as an on-demand service based on customer demand, ordering is easier than with pre-order and reservation-based delivery services, and the service area and time can be freely changed, which has the advantage of significantly higher operational flexibility.
