1 to 5, the forwarding service system 1000 according to the present invention includes an administrator web server unit 100, a user web server unit 200, a user application service provider 300, A management unit 400 and a standard cost calculation unit 500. [

The administrator web server unit 100 performs at least one of member management, purchase management, and schedule management.

Specifically, the administrator web server unit 100 is configured to include the member management unit 110 and the schedule management unit 120. [

The manager 10, the forwarding company 20 and the user 30 exchange information with the self-forwarding service system 1000 through the Internet connection. Therefore, the manager 10, the forwarding company 20, The user 30 is an information communication terminal capable of accessing the Internet. The information communication terminal may include, for example, a PC, a smart phone, and a tablet PC.

Referring to FIG. 2, the web server unit 100 is connected to the manager 10, the forwarding company 20, and the user 30 through the Internet network.

The member management unit 110 manages subscription and activity information of the forwarding service provider (forwarding service provider). More specifically, the member management unit 110 manages the joining procedure of the self-forwarding service system 1000 of the forwarding company. For example, the member management unit 110 receives a necessary document from the forwarding company 20 that desires to join, reviews the document, and performs a membership registration procedure.

The member management unit 110 also performs general membership management tasks such as joining, withdrawing, and setting the membership level of the customer (user 30) and the forwarding company 20.

The schedule management unit 120 provides the user 30 with a cargo forwarding schedule provided from the forwarding company 20. [ At this time, the cargo forwarding schedule is not provided directly to the user 30 but is provided through the user web server unit 200.

The forwarding company 20 uploads the service details that can be provided to the database 60.

The product information to be uploaded may include at least one of the country in which the goods are transportable, the freight that can be transported, the transportation means, the transportation section, the transportation transaction conditions, the customs agency and the overseas supplier information. Here, the transportation transaction condition may be the total cost of the forwarding, or the cost per section of the forwarding path.

The schedule management unit 120 examines the uploaded product information (that is, the service details that can be provided) from the forwarding company 20, determines whether the product is suitable or not and provides the corresponding product information through the user web server unit 200 I will.

At this time, the suitability of the commodity can be compared with a similar service commodity uploaded from another forwarding company. For example, it extracts products from other forwarding companies that have the same origin and destination, classifies them according to the type of freight, and calculates the average shipping cost of similar service products.

Then, it is possible to compare the transportation cost of the uploaded product with the calculated average transportation cost, and to determine whether the product uploaded by the specific forwarding company 20 is a realistic cost product or a low-cost bait product that can provide a service.

Another method of determining suitability of a product is to extract the commodities from other forwarding companies having the same origin and destination and to classify them according to the type of transport cargo to calculate the average transport time of similar service commodities. Then, it is possible to compare the transport time of the uploaded commodity with the calculated average transport time, and to determine whether the uploaded product of the specific forwarding company 20 is a real commodity or a bait commodity.

As described above, the schedule management unit 120 examines the uploaded product information (that is, the service details that can be provided) from the forwarding company 20 so that an appropriate product can be provided through the user web server unit 200, The service reliability of the platform can be increased.

The user web server unit 200 provides the forwarding information of the forwarding company 20 to the user 30. To this end, the user web server unit 200 includes a condition search unit 210, a purchase history providing unit 220, and a cost settlement management unit 230.

The condition retrieval unit 210 may select at least one of the transportable country, the transportable cargo, the transportation means, the transportation section, the transportation transaction condition, the customs clearance unit, and the overseas supplier information as search conditions, 20 and provides the forwarding information to the user 30.

The purchasing history providing unit 220 provides purchase history information of the other user 30 using the forwarding company 20. At this time, the purchase history information may be selectively provided according to the membership level of the user 30.

The cost settlement management unit 230 calculates the cost incurred between the user 30, the forwarding company 20, and the overseas supplier and provides the cost to the user 30. Therefore, the service reliability of the forwarding service platform can be improved because it has transparency about the cost processing.

When the user 30 selects the forwarding company 20 to use, the user receives the purchase request through the purchase request interface provided by the user web server 200. [ When the purchase request is received, the manager 10 issues a guarantee insurance certificate and notifies the forwarding company 20 thereof. The merchandise sales are completed through the above process, and the forwarding company 20 performs the service of the received commodity (that is, the cargo transportation procedure) and inputs each step of the performance process to the database 60. [

The user application service provider 300 provides the user 30 with a service description made in the forwarding company 20. To this end, the user application service providing unit 300 includes a tracking information searching unit 310 and a push service providing unit 320.

The tracking information searching unit 310 searches the forwarding procedure of the forwarding product being used by the user 30 and provides the forwarding procedure to the user 30. That is, when the user 30 searches to which step the forwarding process is performed, the tracking information searching unit 310 indexes the database 60 and provides the indexing result to the user 30.

The push service providing unit 320 informs the user 30 when the cargo transportation in the forwarding product being used by the user 30 proceeds to the next proceeding procedure. For example, if the cargo to be transported is shipped from the departure point and the car arrives at the transit point, the completion result of the shipment is transmitted to the user 30 when the shipment is completed, May be provided continuously.

The gateway management unit 400 mediates customs clearance that occurs during the forwarding service process. That is, the gateway management unit 400 carries out customs clearance procedures between the overseas partner company and the customs office of the transit country.

The standard cost calculating unit 500 includes an estimated cost searching unit 510, a self estimation calculating unit 520, and a section cost calculating unit 530.

The estimated cost searching unit 510 receives the forwarding start point and the forwarding destination from the user 30. The condition searching unit 210 transmits the selected transportation section to the estimated cost searching unit 510. Accordingly, when the forwarding start point and the forwarding destination are selected, The input may be omitted.

The interval cost calculating unit 530 separately calculates the costs incurred from the forwarding start point to the forwarding destination according to the cost occurrence period.

For example, if the transportation cost is generated for each stopping place through the three stopping places (the A stopping way, the B stopping way, and the C stopping destination) from the forwarding starting point to the forwarding destination, the interval cost calculating unit 530 calculates Quot; Cost A ", which is the generation cost of the A intermediate waybill, "B cost, " which is the generation cost of the intermediate waybill B, and" Cost C "

At this time, the interval cost calculating unit 530 can refer to the cost settlement managing unit 230 and calculate the cost for each service provided by each forwarding company according to the cost occurrence period from the forwarding start point to the forwarding destination. Thus, the reliability of the self-estimation can be improved by calculating the cost for each section by referring to the actual forwarding cost. The above cost is a very brief calculation for the convenience of explanation. Actual forwarding cost may include various costs such as stopping station storage cost, transit point transportation cost, customs cost, overseas supplier cost and other costs.

The interval cost calculating unit 530 stores the calculated interval cost in the database 60 for each cost item so that the interval cost calculating unit 530 can provide the interval cost at the request of the self-quotation calculating unit 520. [

The self-quotation calculation unit 520 calculates the requested quotation by combining the calculated interval costs. If the requested quotation is a previously processed service through the cost settlement management unit 230, the self quotation calculation unit 520 provides the existing cost to the user 30.

On the other hand, when the costing management unit 230 does not have the same forwarding service cost as the forwarding service provider providing the service from the forwarding origin to the forwarding destination, The cost for each forwarding company providing the services of the incoming forwarding origin and the forwarding destination for input can be selectively summed and provided to the user 30.

For example, the received quotation is sent to the forwarding destination through the four forwarding destinations (route A, route B, route C, route D), and the cost A, cost B, cost C Quot; and "cost D" occurs,

If there is a service record calculated as the previously processed "cost A", "cost B" and "cost C", and a service record calculated as "cost B", "cost C"

The self quotation calculation unit 520 can calculate the estimated quotation by combining "cost A", "cost B", and "cost C" with "cost D". Therefore, it is possible to calculate accurate estimates according to various requests of users.

On the other hand, the self-quotation calculation unit 520 may separately calculate and provide the cost of the overseas supplier from the previously processed service through the cost settlement management unit 230. [ Therefore, the forwarding company 20 can select an overseas supplier when providing the forwarding service by referring to the cost of the overseas supplier performed by the other forwarding company.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the self-forwarding service system 1000 may further include a language conversion providing unit (not shown).

The language conversion providing unit converts the languages used by the forwarding company 20, the user 30 and the organizations related to customs clearance (that is, the overseas partner company and the customs office of the transit country) into the first standard language and the second standard language, And provides it to at least one of the web server unit 100, the user web server unit 200, the application service provider 300, and the gateway management unit 400.

Specifically, the language conversion providing unit sets the language used in the forwarding origin to the first standard language, sets the language used in the forwarding destination to the second standard language, and the conversion between the first standard language and the second standard language It can be converted by referring to the third standard language. If the forwarding origin is South Korea and the forwarding destination is a Spanish speaking country, the first standard language may be Korean, the second standard language may be Spanish, and the third standard language may be English.

At this time, the language conversion providing unit may determine whether the intervention of the customs company is intervened in the forwarding way point, and convert the document used in the way point to at least one of the first standard language or the third standard language in case of forwarding in which the customs agent intervenes. In other words, if the cargo transportation process is proceeded by the intermediary trade method, the customs payment process may occur at the stopover point, so that documents related to the customs payment process may be converted into at least one of the first standard language or the third standard language, Transparency can be enhanced.

Alternatively, the language conversion providing unit may determine whether the intervention of the customs broker in the forwarding intervening area, and not perform the language conversion of the document used in the intervening intervening forwarding area. That is, if only the cargo transhipment is carried out at the forwarding stop point, there is no need to perform the language conversion procedure since the customs duty is not generated.

The embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the present specification and drawings are merely illustrative examples of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
