Brokerage method through bidding

Figure 1 is a flowchart showing a method of brokerage through bidding among the brokerage methods for import and export cargo logistics and customs clearance according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the bid brokerage method according to this embodiment includes a bid registration step (S100) of registering bids for logistics and customs clearance to form a bid card, and a limited number of bid slots are allocated to the registered bid card. It includes a bid slot allocation step (S200), a limited bid reception step (S300) in which bids from logistics and customs clearance companies are electronically received, and bids are submitted in chronological order for the limited number of bid slots.

When a bid is registered using the input method for bid registration, which will be described later (S100), a process of final confirmation of the initially entered items is performed, and then an individual bid card is created.

Bidding cards accumulated in this way can be viewed by companies performing logistics and customs clearance. If you click on the bidding card at the company, you can view the details of the bid, and companies handling logistics and customs clearance can proceed with the bidding by entering the final price or conditions.

One bidding card is assigned a limited number of bidding slots. For example, there may be three bidding slots allocated by default. One bidding card allows three companies to participate in bidding in chronological order, and if three companies complete their bidding, other companies cannot participate in the bidding. However, companies that carry out logistics and customs clearance with specific authority can apply for bidding. After submitting the final quotation, if the exporter selects three companies, the company performing logistics and customs clearance can check the details containing the exporter's information.

Importers and exporters who applied for a bid can select their favorite company among those participating in the bid. In the subsequent stages, mediation is possible in a variety of ways. For example, brokerage can be carried out by exchanging and providing company information of the exporter/importer and the company selected for bidding.

How to enter to register a bid

Figures 2 and 3 are flowcharts showing an input method for registering a bid in the brokerage method for export and import cargo logistics and customs clearance according to the embodiment of Figure 1.

Referring to Figure 2, the input method (S100) for registering a bid includes a service selection step (S110) in which the necessary service is selected among logistics and customs clearance services, logistics services, and customs clearance services, and transportation methods such as sea transportation and air transportation. A transportation method selection step (S120), a destination input step (S130) where the departure point from which the transported cargo departs and the destination where the transported cargo arrives (S130), and cargo detailed information input where detailed information about the transported cargo is entered. Includes step S140.

Before this step (S100), first check whether the Incoterms have been confirmed. If the Incoterms have been confirmed, you can select the Incoterms first and enter detailed information. If the Incoterms have not been confirmed, you can enter the logistics After entering the customs clearance information, you can refer to the related information and at the same time receive additional information and make a decision using the Incoterms guide input function. Specific details will be described later.

In the service selection step (S110), the necessary service is selected among logistics and customs clearance services, logistics services, and customs clearance services. Logistics and customs clearance services are services that request turnkey logistics and customs clearance work, and logistics services and customs clearance services are services that request only logistics services and customs clearance services, respectively. Since input information may vary depending on each service, first select the service you wish to request. In particular, in this embodiment, customs clearance and logistics can be performed simultaneously, allowing service requests to be made in one process without duplicate requests or input work.

In the transportation method selection step (S120), a transportation method such as sea transportation and air transportation is selected. Means of transportation include sea transportation using ships and air transportation using aircraft. In some cases, it is possible to make a choice by entrusting it to a logistics company. In this way, at the discretion of the logistics company, additional options that can be proposed for other transportation methods can be added, so that the basic transportation method is selected first, and if there are more favorable conditions, a proposal from the logistics company can be requested.

Additionally, if you have other means of transportation, you can add them.

In the destination input step (S130), the departure point from which the transported cargo departs and the destination where the transported cargo arrives are input. Additional stops can be entered as needed. For origin and destination, you can select the origin and destination countries and enter the port or inland address of that country. If necessary, you can enter transit country and port information. The detailed information on the origin and destination entered at this time can be used as information when guiding Incoterms and whether to add inland transportation costs to future transportation costs.

Referring to FIG. 3, it can be seen that in the service selection step (S110), where a necessary service is selected among logistics and customs clearance services, logistics services, and customs clearance services, information is input differently depending on the service selection.

As previously explained, the service can be selected from logistics and customs clearance service, logistics service, and customs clearance service. Among them, logistics and customs clearance services include logistics services, so specific information to proceed with logistics is inputted. However, in the case of import customs clearance services, it is sufficient to receive information on the importer of each country, so the final destination port or airport information is provided. Only (S130) and cargo detailed information related to the cargo (S140) can be entered.

Referring again to FIG. 3, if logistics and customs clearance service or logistics service is selected in the service selection step (S110), a transportation method between sea and air can be selected in the transportation method selection step (S120). As mentioned earlier, an additional option can be added to suggest a recommended transportation method with better conditions based on the logistics company's recommendation. If you select air, the specific container information input step is skipped and the cargo details input step (S140) is selected. If you select sea in the transportation method selection step (S120), the transport is carried after the destination input step (S130). The container information input step (S150) is performed to select and input the container information of the cargo.

Figure 4 is a flowchart showing an input method for inputting container information to register a bid in the brokerage method for export and import cargo logistics and customs clearance according to the embodiment of Figure 1.

Referring to FIG. 4, the container information input step (S150) is,

Container logistics type selection step (S151), selecting one of container (FCL) and container small cargo (LCL); If container (FCL) is selected in the container logistics type selection step, a container type selection step (S153) of selecting one of DRY container, REEFER container, OPENTOP container, and FLAT RACK container; and a container size and quantity selection step (S155) in which the size and quantity of the container are selected.

In the container logistics type selection step (S151), you can select from container (FCL), container small cargo (LCL), container (FCL), container small cargo (LCL), or a combination of these.

FCL (Full Container Loads) refers to a container filled with cargo belonging to one shipper, while LCL (less than container load) refers to cargo from multiple shippers as one container cannot be filled with cargo from one shipper. This refers to container cargo that is loaded together in two containers.

If container (FCL) is selected in the container logistics type selection step, one of the DRY container, REEFER container, OPENTOP container, and FLAT RACK container is selected in the container type selection step (S153).

DRY containers are the most commonly used containers used to transport and store cargo that is not sensitive to temperature. REEFER containers are also called refrigerated containers and are containers with refrigeration/freezing functions that have their own freezer. OPENTOP containers are containers with an open ceiling, and heavy cargo such as machinery, plate glass, and steel products are mainly transported through the open ceiling. FLAT RACK Container This is a container with only pillars and braces after removing the roof and walls of a dry container.

After selecting each container, you can select the specific container size and quantity (S155). The size of the container is applied differently depending on the type of each container. For example, a DRY container can select options of 20FEET, 40FEET, and 40HQ, a REEFER container can select options of 20RF and 40RF, an OPENTOP container can select options of 20OT and 40OT, and a FLAT RACK container can select options of 20FR and 40FR.

Afterwards, detailed cargo information is entered in the cargo detailed information input step (S140). Detailed cargo information is entered differently depending on the logistics type or container type. If container (FCL) is selected in the container logistics type selection step, the cargo detail information input step (S140) essentially receives container type/size/quantity, cargo item information, HS-CODE, and product price information. In addition, the weight of the cargo, whether the cargo is a dangerous good, whether cargo insurance is required, and whether it is loaded in two stages are mandatory. If the cargo is a dangerous good, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) are required. Receive input. If you select a REEFER container, the container's opening/closing rate, minimum set temperature, and maximum set temperature are required to be entered. If you select the OPEN TOP, FLAT RACK container, the detailed packing list of the container is entered as an attached file. Additionally, by using the provided form, an automation function can be provided that allows the inputter to enter values in the form, upload them to the service in batches, and automatically enter the value of each item into the system. We can provide templates or file formats in various forms, such as Excel sheets or xml files.

If air transport is selected in the transportation mode selection step (S120) or the container logistics type selection step (S151) is selected, the cargo packaging type and cargo item information, HS-CODE, and product price are similarly selected. Information is required to be entered. In addition, information is input on whether the cargo is a dangerous good and whether cargo insurance is required. If the cargo is a dangerous good, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) is input. Additionally, information regarding whether the product cannot be loaded in two layers is inputted. Additionally, the total cargo weight and total cargo volume are mandatory, and cargo packaging details are optionally entered.

For information related to the total weight and volume of the cargo, you can select either the total weight and total volume of the cargo directly entered, or the total weight and total volume calculated by entering the weight and volume information of each cargo.

If the above customs clearance service is selected in the service selection step (S110) of the bid registration step, cargo item information, HS-CODE, and CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) price information are required to be entered in the cargo detail information input step (S140). , packet list information, and commercial invoice information are selectively entered.

If the packet list information and commercial invoice information are entered in the form, the cargo item information, HS-CODE, and CIF price information can be set to be entered automatically.

How to determine and enter Incoterms

Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an input method for inputting Incoterms information to register a bid in the brokerage method for export and import cargo logistics and customs clearance according to the embodiment of Figure 1.

Incoterms (ICC rules for the use of domestic and international trade terms) are rules of interpretation for trade terms established by the International Chamber of Commerce and are widely used in trade transactions between countries. It presents the divergence point in risks and costs between buyers and sellers in terms of price and responsibility in trade transactions, and is essentially used to prevent disputes that may arise over trade terms and conditions. These conditions include FCA - Free Carrier, FAS - Free Alongside Ship, FOB - Free on Board, CFR - Cost and Freight, CIF - Cost. , Insurance and Freight (delivery including freight and insurance), CPT - Carriage Paid To (delivery with transportation costs paid), CIP - Carrige and Insurance Paid to (delivery with transportation costs and insurance premiums paid), EXW - Ex Works (delivery from factory), DAT - Delivered At Terminal, DAP - Delivered At Place, DDP - Delivered Duty Paid, etc.

Referring to Figure 5, when the Incoterms are determined, the Incoterms can be directly selected and entered (S161). In this case, a function to additionally check items to be checked according to the selected Incoterms conditions may be provided (S165).

Figures 6 and 7 are flowcharts showing an input method for inputting Incoterms information using the Incoterms guide to register a bid in the brokerage method for export and import cargo logistics and customs clearance according to the embodiment of Figure 1.

Referring to Figures 6 and 7, if the Incoterms are not determined or the Incoterms are not known, an Incoterms guide input step (S163) for guiding the Incoterms is performed. The Incoterms guide input step (S163) is the first Incoterms guide step (S163a), which receives an object with an obligation to load the cargo at the departure point if the departure point is inland. If the departure point is a port, the container logistics type The second step of the Incoterms guide (S163b), where the detailed departure point is input when the container (FCL) is selected in the second step of the Incoterms guide, the third step of the Incoterms guide (S163c), the second step of the Incoterms guide After small cargo (LCL) is selected, if CFS (Container Freight Station) is selected, the 4th step (S163d) of entering the work obligor at the export destination. If the work obligor is the exporter in the 4th step of the Incoterms Guide, CFS Step 5 of the Incoterms Guide (S163e), which receives the input of the object with the obligation to transport to the CY (Container Yard); Step 6 of the Incoterms Guide (S163f), which receives the detailed destination if the destination is a port; and Step 6 of the Incoterms Guide (S163f), where the destination is a port. In the case of Step 7 (S163g) of the Incoterms Guide, which inputs the entity paying the BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor) or CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor), if the destination is an import port or airport, whether the exporter has purchased cargo insurance to the destination. Includes step 8 (S163h) of the Incoterms guide that receives input.

First, referring to FIG. 6, a process for determining Incoterms based on the origin may proceed.

In the first step (S163a) of the Incoterms guide, if the departure point is inland, the object with the obligation to load the cargo at the departure point is input. If the exporter has the obligation to load the goods onto the means of transport at the point of export, the FCA terms are selected, and in the case of the importer, the EXW terms are selected.

In the second step (S163b) of the Incoterms guide, it is applied when the departure point is a port, and the container logistics type is input. If the container logistics type is FCL, FOB conditions are selected, and if the container logistics type is LCL, FOB or FCA conditions are selected.

In the third step of the Incoterms guide (S163c), detailed departure point is entered when container small cargo (LCL) is selected in the second step of the Incoterms guide. The detailed departure point can be CFS (Container Freight Station) or CY (Container Yard). If CFS is selected, FCA conditions are selected, and if CY is selected, FOB conditions are selected.

In the 4th step of the Incoterms guide (S163d), after small cargo cargo (LCL) is selected in the 2nd step of the Incoterms guide, if CFS (Container Freight Station) is selected in the 3rd step, the person responsible for the work is entered at the export destination. In this case, either the exporter or the importer can be selected.

In Step 5 of the Incoterms Guide (S163e), if the person obligated to do the work in Step 4 of the Incoterms Guide is an exporter, the object with an inland transportation (Drayage Charge) obligation to transport from CFS to CY (Container Yard) is entered. In this case, either the exporter or the importer can be selected.

First, referring to FIG. 6, a process for determining Incoterms based on the destination may proceed.

In step 6 (S163f) of the Incoterms guide, if the destination is a port, the detailed destination is entered. The detailed destination can be CFS (Container Freight Station) or CY (Container Yard).

In step 7 (S163g) of the Incoterms guide, if the destination is a port, the entity paying the BAF (Bunker Adjustment Factor) or CAF (Currency Adjustment Factor) is entered. In this case, either the exporter or the importer can be selected. In step 8 (S163h) of the Incoterms guide, if the destination is a port, it is input whether the exporter has subscribed to cargo insurance to the destination. If you have purchased cargo insurance, CIF terms can be selected; otherwise, CFR terms can be selected. In addition, in step 8 (S163h) of the Incoterms guide, if the destination is an airport, it is input whether the exporter has subscribed to cargo insurance to the destination. If cargo insurance is purchased, CIP terms can be selected, and if not, CPT terms can be selected.

In this way, even when the Incoterms are determined by the Incoterms guide, a function to additionally check items to be checked according to the conditions can be added (S165).

In this guide process, information already entered can be used, and in particular, the destination input in the second step of the Incoterms guide (S163b), the third step of the Incoterms guide (S163c), and the sixth step of the Incoterms guide (S163f) Information entered in this step may be entered automatically. This automatic input function can be optionally utilized.

Referring to FIG. 10, the detailed fare information input step (S400) is a transportation method selection step (S410) of selecting a transportation method between sea transportation and air transportation. If the transportation method is maritime transportation, container (FCL), container Container logistics type selection step (S420) for selecting small quantity cargo (LCL), destination input step (S430) for inputting the origin from which the transported cargo departs and the destination where the transported cargo arrives, and the transportation method selection step, container It includes a step (S440) of entering detailed fares and fare validity periods corresponding to the logistics type selection step and destination input step. In particular, the freight validity period is a condition that cannot be used for detailed freight information when the validity period expires, and reflects the fact that detailed freight rates are highly variable in international logistics.

The detailed fare information input step (S400) may further include an incidental cost input step (S450) in which incidental costs for each port can be entered. Additional costs may apply differently depending on the port, so these are entered for each port. Costs largely linked to quantity are entered in units linked to the unit quantity, and costs unrelated to quantity are displayed in B/L (Bill of Lading) units.

For incidental costs, if sea transportation is selected in the transportation method selection step (S410) and container (FCL) is selected in the container logistics type step, incidental costs are entered by the quantity of the container, or B if the quantity is not related. Entered in /L units.

If maritime transportation is selected in the transportation method selection step (S410) and containerized small cargo (LCL) is selected in the container logistics type step, it is input in units of R.TON (Revenue ton) related to the quantity or related to the quantity. If there is none, it is entered in B/L units.

If air transportation is selected in the transportation method selection step (S410), the C/W (Chargeable Weight) related to the quantity is entered, or in B/L units if the quantity is not related.

How to automatically calculate inland shipping charges

To determine the final unit cost of logistics, it is necessary to determine the inland transportation fee. To achieve this, a process is needed to automatically calculate inland transportation charges by building an inland freight rate database by port, destination area, container logistics type, container type, weight and volume.

In the company list inquiry step (S500), an inland transportation fee calculation step (S520) can be further included to generate a final quote including the calculated inland transportation fee, which can be applied when the destination is inland based on the destination details. .

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and attached drawings. For those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, it will be clear that components according to the present invention can be replaced, modified, and changed without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
