Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. However, the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments introduced herein are provided so that the disclosed content will be thorough and complete and so that the spirit of the invention can be sufficiently conveyed to those skilled in the art.

In this specification, when an element is referred to as being on another element, it means that it may be formed directly on the other element or that a third element may be interposed between them. Additionally, in the drawings, the thicknesses of films and regions are exaggerated for effective explanation of technical content.

Additionally, in various embodiments of the present specification, terms such as first, second, and third are used to describe various components, but these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish one component from another. Accordingly, what is referred to as a first component in one embodiment may be referred to as a second component in another embodiment. Each embodiment described and illustrated herein also includes its complementary embodiment. Additionally, in this specification, 'and/or' is used to mean including at least one of the components listed before and after.

In the specification, singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In addition, terms such as "include" or "have" are intended to designate the presence of features, numbers, steps, components, or a combination thereof described in the specification, but are not intended to indicate the presence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, or components. It should not be understood as excluding the possibility of the presence or addition of elements or combinations thereof. Additionally, in this specification, “connection” is used to mean both indirectly connecting and directly connecting a plurality of components.

Additionally, in the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description will be omitted.

In this application specification, the e-commerce platform refers to an integrated platform that connects with K mall and other e-commerce platforms that share API information.

According to an embodiment of the present application, a real-time delivery-based online shopping system, a POS system linked thereto, and an e-commerce platform including these are provided.

According to the embodiment of the present application, an O2O service can be implemented through an online shopping mall linked store POS system capable of real-time delivery. Promotion and agency sales of excellent domestic products can be carried out through the establishment of a K-brand section in K-mall and other e-commerce platforms. In addition, the marketing effect using K-POP marketing can be increased, real-time delivery services for daily necessities, and Live Streaming services can be implemented. As a result, delivery costs can be reduced and various small business stores can enter the online market.

Figure 1 is a diagram for explaining ordering and delivery procedures after introduction of POS, and Figure 2 is a diagram for explaining offline stores and applications.

When an offline product is registered in POS, it is automatically registered on the online shopping platform, and offline product information is linked to the online product information form. In addition, small stores have the advantage of being able to manage their POS by installing a mobile POS on their cell phones and being able to easily place products from offline stores online. In other words, an increase in total sales is expected as a result of the sum of offline store sales and online sales (more than 15%), and various marketing strategies can be established by collecting offline store inventory, sales, and customer data.

Figure 3 is an example of hardware that can be installed in a POS system.

There is no specific hardware that needs to be installed/purchased separately for the POS system, and existing POS machines can be used (possible to install the POS system). In addition, the POS system can be used with a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone, and even if the hardware breaks down, it can be replaced with a hardware product at a price appropriate for the store situation.

Figure 4 is a diagram to explain examples of simple payment service providers and major payment companies.

The POS SYSTEM is linked to various payment systems such as cash, cards, points, online platform payment systems, and postpaid payment (COD). For example, in Indonesia, people do not use the services of first-tier financial institutions due to low annual income and unstable credit ratings. There are many people who cannot use it, and the distribution of terminals and POS machines that can pay with credit cards and check cards is not smooth, so there is a situation where it is difficult to make general credit payments.

Accordingly, the rechargeable simple payment service that can be easily used by linking with a mobile phone through a QR code can also be linked to the POS SYSTEM.

Figure 5 is an example of a POS inventory management screen / an example of a screen where customers can check the number of actual inventory.

An accurate predictive inventory management system is provided for real-time control and procurement management, and all POS transactions are automatically entered into inventory categories to prevent separate time spent on inventory management, allowing you to check product liquidity in real time without wasting time. there is.

In addition, a barcode system and ERP system have been established to systematically purchase and manage sales of various items in offline stores, and thorough real-time inventory management of the store is possible through linking with the in-store POS system.

Customer order reliability can be improved through real-time inventory management (there is no possibility of order cancellation due to inventory exhaustion after a customer places an order), and a convenient product management solution can be provided through a self-generating barcode program.

Customer GPS and address are matched to nearby offline stores, the inventory of nearby stores is exposed, a driver is assigned to the nearest location, real-time delivery or scheduled delivery is possible from nearby stores, and even daily necessities from small stores are available for real-time delivery.

In addition, membership strengthening and customized AI marketing are performed, enabling the identification of customer needs by period and product through purchase history data of existing members, and customized marketing such as pop-ups and mailings tailored to each customer.

Through direct delivery and delivery management with online shopping platform stores, computerized management can be automatically linked with offline stores, and it can be developed into an unmanned store franchise equipped with a POS system, making it possible to become an unmanned store.

In addition, the establishment of a K-Brand section within the e-commerce platform has the effect of increasing users through the sale of K-POP celebrity promotional model products and K-POP-related products, and creates a new shopping Korean wave boom through real-time delivery on K-brand's online platform. This is possible and can be used as a platform to promote Korea's excellent small and medium-sized businesses' products.

By handling only genuine K-Brand products and applying a 200% compensation system for non-genuine products, we can provide a solution to the recent counterfeit Korean products and cosmetics manufactured in China or Indonesia.

Shoppertainment (Shopping+Entertainment) can be performed through K-Brand Live Streaming marketing within the online platform. Specifically, it is a marketing method that has emerged rapidly since the pandemic and is increasingly becoming an online sales channel.
