Description

Method of electronic commerce with a multiple purchase management function

The present invention relates to an electronic commerce method having a multi-purchase management function, and more specifically, to prepare a catalog for various items online to adjust the price, and finally to the actual range to satisfy the adjusted price and limited budget The present invention relates to an electronic commerce method having a multi-purchase management function that adjusts the price at the time of purchase and manages the financial status separately by understanding the purchased status.

With the development of internet and communication technology, various forms of electronic commerce are adopted and used. For manufacturers, the cost is greatly reduced by displaying the items on a web site of the Internet, which is a virtual space, instead of being displayed in a separate sales place. In addition, a user who wants to purchase an item has an advantage of easily purchasing the item in a residential area such as a home without directly visiting a shopping mall. However, in such an e-commerce, it is not easy for a user to negotiate or compare prices directly.

In particular, all laboratories conducting research require a lot of chemicals, reagents, consumable parts and equipment, but in most cases, it is not possible to purchase them by comparing prices with products of various suppliers. In order to compare the products they want to purchase by supplier, they had to obtain a catalog of each supplier.

Even if you take the time to find this, the price is not specified or the price fluctuates most of the time, so it takes a lot of time and effort to actually compare the products. Therefore, in the case of expensive equipment, the reality is that you are purchasing products from suppliers you are most familiar with. In addition, even if the product is determined through this process, it is necessary to call or fax again for purchase, and again to make a payment, it must be a cumbersome process.

As a result, it takes a lot of time for the user to purchase the most appropriate product, which may lead to disruption of the research. In order to solve this problem, large-scale research groups may operate a purchasing department separately, but there is a problem of lack of expertise in the purchasing department and additional costs required to operate the purchasing department.

In addition, in order to purchase indirect materials with a small purchase amount per case and irregular demands from a large number of user departments, many internal costs were required, such as having to go through users, managers, and purchasing teams in the purchase approval process. .

For example, the number of chemistry laboratories in our country is over 10,000, but there are cases where unnecessary mixing occurs due to the inability to obtain the necessary reagent information.

Therefore, as described above, there is a problem in that a large amount of cost is required to purchase an item through electronic commerce, or a time loss is required because an excessive amount of time must be devoted to purchasing a required item. .

An object of the present invention is to create an online catalog to purchase goods within a range that satisfies a preset budget on a site implemented through the Internet, to adjust the price to purchase at a desired price, and to adjust the price. The present invention provides an electronic commerce method having a multi-purchase management function for not only purchasing goods but also downloading and managing the purchase history as a file.
