Description

Freight traffic system on internet}

The present invention relates to an operation method of a logistics management system for distribution and refining work for logistics to be done online on the Internet, and to provide location information of cargo in real time.

In general, various types of logistics systems are used depending on the relationship between customers and freight and distributors.

In the traditional logistics system, as shown in Fig. 7, when a customer makes a request for a cargo shipment from a customer by telephone, the management company uses its own management system by paper work or computer operation to provide information about the customer and cargo. It manages the information and information about the vehicles that have been dispatched and informs customers of the dispatch results by fax or telephone.

In this way, logistics information cannot be shared between customers and management companies, and systematic management is inefficient. Therefore, logistics costs increase due to an unstructured logistics system based on driver-driven operation. It became a factor.

In recent years, informatization has been accelerated throughout the industry, and a more efficient logistics system has been proposed in the logistics system in accordance with the trend of informatization, and as a representative form, information is shared between shippers and distributors using the Internet, cargoes using mobile phones, etc. Logistics systems have been adopted to enable location tracking.

For example, the logistics management system according to Korean Patent Publication No. 2000-0018217 utilizes a TRS terminal, a barcode terminal, and a map information terminal attached to a logistics transportation means to receive information on the logistics transportation means through the TRS public network. A logistics management system that establishes a base and connects an inventory management database that accumulates and updates the logistics data of customers and headquarters on the Internet to acquire and update logistics related information. It is being made to be online in real time, making a considerable change in the logistics system.

However, the above system is designed to meet the logistics management of the headquarters and sales network of small quantities of various kinds of cargoes. There was an unsuitable problem with the logistics system of old goods.

That is, in general, after the goods imported by the importer are cleared, they are in a waiting state at a storage facility equipped at a port or an airport, and a shipper carries out separate logistics management to take out the cargo in the waiting state and transport it to the place of use. It will be transported to the place of use with the cooperation of the company.

For this type of cargo, the logistics management company is requested not only to importers in existing trading relationships but also to customers who start new trading relationships, and that the types of cargo are not limited. The open logistics data and the open cargo data should be processed, but the logistics system as described above is suitable for the closed trading relationship between the head office and the store and the limited cargo logistics. There was an inadequate problem in distribution.

In addition, the above-mentioned logistics system manages the data such as the type and quantity of goods to the driver who is in charge of the transportation, and assigns the responsibility to manage the information about the location information, so that highly trained driving personnel are needed and through the mobile system Due to the large amount of logistics processing data, there was a problem in that smooth and rapid cargo data processing and real time implementation were difficult.

The present invention converts the logistics management system between companies online to manage and share information related to cargo with shippers or customers and management companies in real time, and provide location information of cargo using mobile phones in real time. By doing so, we want to provide a logistics management system in which the location, inventory management, quantity, settlement, sales confirmation, transaction statement output and retrieval are performed in real time on the network.
