Description

System and method for combinating and jointing physical distribution using internet based on internet

The present invention relates to a logistics integration / sharing system and method based on the Internet, and more particularly, to the integration and sharing of a logistics network among member companies, which can reduce logistics costs and promote product sales. A logistics integration / sharing system and method.

In general, logistics refers to the flow of products from producers to consumers, and includes both the process of transporting, unloading, storing and packing the produced goods, and the distribution of goods such as distribution processing and transport infrastructure. It takes more than one stage of distribution process before a product is produced and delivered to the consumer, and the manufacturer owns a vehicle for this distribution process or sends it to a specialized logistics company.

However, according to the conventional distribution method, when the logistics volume is small but the sales area is nationwide or the quantity is small compared to the sales area, not only the relatively high logistics costs are involved, but also a small amount of refrigeration and freezing products are required. There is a problem in that it is difficult to select a suitable logistics company in the case of distribution.

In addition, in the case of retail logistics, it is virtually impossible to establish a retail logistics channel except for some large manufacturers or newspaper companies, and even if it is established, it must bear a very high logistics cost. The absence of abandonment of business can also occur.

E-Commerce reduces sales costs, labor costs, and logistics costs through the Internet, reducing marketing costs for companies, increasing profitability, and increasing the efficiency of transactions by expanding sales channels around the world through the huge networked Internet. In recent years, it has been widely applied in various fields such as manufacturing, finance, education, distribution, administration, and so on. However, as e-commerce is activated, logistics volume inevitably increases, leading to higher shipping costs for Internet-based shopping mall manufacturers, manufacturers, and retailers.As a way to improve this, the logistics base is expanded and similar to existing online stores. There is also a method of using offline stores nationwide to use as a regional logistics hub, but there is a problem that can not significantly reduce the logistics cost.

Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to integrate and share the logistics network among member companies, thereby reducing logistics costs and promoting product sales, and at the same time reducing the tolerance ratio. It is to provide a logistics integration / sharing system and method based on the Internet that can be expected to reduce traffic volume and save energy.

Still another object of the present invention is to deliver the product in real time via the Internet, while safely and accurately delivering the product to the optimal delivery route and delivery method according to the quantity, delivery location, delivery time and delivery method desired by the user, It is to provide a logistics integration / sharing system and method based on the Internet that can provide the location of the delivery source, the scheduled delivery time.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a block diagram of the overall configuration of the logistics integration / sharing system based on the Internet according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an overall flowchart of the logistics integration / sharing method based on the Internet using the system of Figure 1, FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a step of determining an optimal delivery route in FIG.

Logistics integration / sharing system based on the Internet of the present invention, web server (1), database server (2), map server (3), calculation server (4), payment server (5), member companies, users, distribution It consists of a PC 6 of a company and a courier company, and a GPS system 7.

In FIG. 1, the web server 1 provides an interface for member companies or users to access the logistics integration / sharing system via the Internet, and through such a web server 1 of the Internet, a regional or national distribution and delivery network. PC (6) of a company having a network and a company or a general individual user who needs such a distribution and delivery network is connected to the Internet.

User information registered as a member on the Internet and various information of the member companies, for example, general information (company name, location, business registration number, etc.) of the company with the delivery network, type of delivery (type of product, whether it is refrigerated or frozen) , Weight, volume, etc.), information on the distribution network (idle delivery capacity, delivery network, sales office, warehouse, vehicle, delivery area, etc.), delivery information (originating location, moving speed, etc.) 2) are stored. At this time, the position information is converted into coordinate values in the map server 3 and stored together with the database server 2.

Then, if the member or user connected to the logistics integration / sharing system via the Internet receives the delivery request details, such as the quantity, delivery location, delivery time, delivery method (S1), the shipping route and each delivery volume is calculated The calculation server 4 calculates the optimal delivery route among the delivery networks of the member companies having the idle delivery capability and simulates the optimal delivery route (S2).

To describe the step S2 in more detail, the calculation server 4 searches for the deliverable companies in consideration of the delivery type, the deliverable area, the idle delivery capacity, etc. from the database server 2, and classifies them by delivery area and delivery person (S3). ). Next, generate a possible delivery route (S4), check whether the generated delivery route satisfies the delivery time input from the user (S5), and if the delivery time is satisfied (S6), record the delivery route log file (S6), If you are not satisfied, go back to creating the delivery route. That is, in the delivery route log file, all delivery routes that can be delivered within the delivery desired time input from the user are recorded.

If the number of delivery routes recorded in the delivery route log file is 0 (S7), if there is no delivery route that can be delivered within the delivery desired time input from the user, the first time after adjusting the delivery time in consultation with the customer Returning to step S8, if it is not 0, the process proceeds to the next step.

Then, it checks whether the number of the delivery routes recorded in the delivery route log file is 1 (S9), and if it is 1, there is only one delivery route that can be delivered within the delivery desired time input from the user. S12), if it is not 1, that is, if there are multiple delivery routes, the delivery time for each delivery route is calculated (S10), and the shortest delivery route is selected among them (S11), and the optimal delivery route is selected ( S12).

The optimal delivery route is simulated by these steps S3 to S12.

Then, the payment server 5 calculates the shipping cost according to the optimal delivery route simulated in step S2 and provides it to the member company or the user through the Internet, and pays the shipping cost according to various payment means from the member company or the user. (S13).

In the present invention, the GPS system 7 for providing delivery information in real time via the Internet is composed of a radio terminal, a wireless repeater, a mobile communication company, a GPS satellite of a delivery source.

When it is confirmed in step S13 that the delivery cost is settled, the product is transferred to the middle house by the optimal delivery route based on the geographic information stored in the map server 3, and the optimal delivery route and delivery Information such as the location, delivery target, etc. is input to the wireless terminal of the delivery person (S14).

When the optimal delivery route identified in the GPS satellites is displayed on the delivery terminal's wireless terminal (S15), the delivery is performed by the optimal delivery route, and the delivery status is determined from the delivery terminal's terminal, the location of the delivery source, the estimated delivery time, and the like. Transmitted to the real-time delivery via the Internet, and provides the location of the delivery source, the estimated delivery time (S16). In this case, various information is transmitted from the wireless terminal of the delivery person using the SMS (SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE) of the PCS.

As a result, companies that have a distribution network can pursue ancillary profits by using idle distribution capabilities, and companies that require a distribution network can use them at a low cost without having to build their own distribution network, which requires a lot of cost and time. Sales activities can be performed using the existing distribution network, which not only reduces logistics costs but also facilitates market entry. In addition, it is possible to promote sales and reduce marketing costs through joint marketing between companies that are not in conflict.

In addition, from the customer's point of view, it is possible not only to simply order the products of small companies that have been difficult to courier service through the Internet, but also to receive the products safely and accurately with the optimal delivery route and delivery method, It is very convenient because you can search the delivery status, the location of the delivery source, the estimated delivery time.

As described above, according to the Internet-based logistics integration / sharing system and method of the present invention, by integrating and sharing the logistics network between the member companies can reduce the logistics cost and promote product sales, and at the same time, the tolerance rate The reduction of traffic volume and energy saving effect can be expected by inducing decrease of traffic.

In addition, depending on the quantity of the product you want, delivery location, delivery time, delivery route, delivery method, the product can be delivered safely and accurately by the optimal delivery route and delivery method, and whether or not delivery in real time via the Internet, It is also very convenient because you can search the location of the delivery person, the scheduled delivery time.
