It relates to an Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device that generates, selects at least one candidate forwarder based on the origin and destination of the cargo, and the means of transportation of the cargo, and provides an Incoterms quotation template to the candidate forwarder.

A forwarder is a multimodal transportation broker who can efficiently distribute and load cargo from shippers with relatively small capacity on cargo ships of shipping companies (international transport companies) or aircraft cargoes of airlines that can ship large amounts of cargo at once. It may be a logistics company that acts as a broker and simultaneously handles various tasks such as customs clearance and insurance for the cargo it brokered.

In general, a shipper or forwarder performs logistics operations from an overseas port of arrival to the final destination in import/export logistics, using an overseas local logistics company that is an existing local partner or through an overseas local logistics company linked through another route. Requesting manipulation.

Conventionally, only limited services are provided by relying on overseas local logistics companies to carry out logistics in the import/export region, logistics costs are also determined by arbitrarily set rates, and transportation times and routes are also determined or changed by overseas local logistics companies. Disadvantages resulting from lack of information are causing economic losses.

In addition, in the case of imported logistics coming into the country from overseas, smooth communication with various transportation entities, including shippers, is essential for logistics processing, such as cargo unloading, customs declaration, and inland trucking. The efficiency of logistics management is very low due to the independent operation system among various players.

In addition, in some cases, logistics must be performed to suit various environments and situations, such as cargo must be transported quickly within a specific day or transported at the lowest logistics cost regardless of the date, but due to limitations in information collection, domestic shippers There is a problem that logistics is carried out regardless of the forwarder's will.

In addition, it is inconvenient for the shipper or forwarder to prepare documents related to one import/export logistics case separately even though they are similar in content, as well as manpower and other related costs, such as re-writing due to errors, processing time when defects occur, and re-delivery costs. There is a problem that costs increase.

The Incoterms quotation template creation unit 320 may classify the selected Incoterms rules into export process Incoterms or import process Incoterms and perform detailed cost calculation. That is, the Incoterms quotation template creation unit 320 generates costs based on export process Incoterms including CIF, CPT, CIP, CFR, DAT, DAP, and DDP and import process Incoterms including EXW, FCA, FAS, and FOB. The calculation process can be performed, and the calculated Incoterms quotation template can be displayed through the user terminal 110 and stored in the database 150.

In one embodiment, the Incoterms quotation template generator 320 may generate an Incoterms quotation template by detecting the shipper's individual requirements for the selected Incoterms rules. That is, the Incoterms quotation template generator 320 can calculate and provide each quotation corresponding to each user's requirements through the user terminal 110. Here, the requirements may correspond to the transportation distance of the cargo, transportation cost, and the name of the transportation company, but are not necessarily limited thereto.

In one embodiment, the Incoterms quotation template generator 320 generates an Incoterms quotation template by applying the shipper's individual requirements to the Incoterms basic quotation template corresponding to the selected Incoterms rule and changing the Incoterms basic quotation template. can do. The Incoterms basic quotation template may correspond to a basic Incoterms quotation template reflecting the Incoterms rules selected through the user terminal 110 and may be stored in the database 150. For example, when a user selects one of a plurality of Incoterms rules, the Incoterms quotation template generator 320 may receive a basic rate template based on the stored Incoterms rule from the database 150. That is, when creating an Incoterms quotation template, the Incoterms quotation template creation unit 320 receives the Incoterms basic quotation template from the database 150, and enters the Incoterms quotation template corresponding to the individual requirements of the shipper into the Incoterms basic quotation template.

In one embodiment, the forwarder control unit 330 may re-request the forwarder to input the fee if the prompted service fee for each transaction item does not conform to the generated Incoterms quotation template. For example, if the service fee for each transaction item entered by the forwarder is less than the Incoterms quotation template fee, the forwarder control unit 330 may request the forwarder to re-enter the fee by sending an error message or a re-request message to the forwarder terminal 111. You can.

In one embodiment, the forwarder control unit 330 may select at least one candidate forwarder based on at least the origin and destination of the cargo and the means of transportation of the cargo, and provide an Incoterms quotation template to the at least one candidate forwarder. The forwarder control unit 330 may select a candidate forwarder by checking the origin, destination, and means of transportation of the cargo based on the generated Incoterms quotation template, but is not necessarily limited to this. In one embodiment, the forwarder control unit 330 may select at least one candidate forwarder by further including individual requirements of the shipper. For example, a shipper's individual requirements may be divided into sea transportation or air transportation, and may further include cargo size, quantity, total weight, and item name.

In one embodiment, the forwarder control unit 330 may determine the number of at least one candidate forwarder based on the cargo volume of the shipper. When the shipper's cargo volume is analyzed to be above a certain level, the forwarder control unit 330 may limit the group of candidate forwarders whose shipment volume is smaller than the shipper's cargo volume. Additionally, if there is no candidate forwarder, the forwarder control unit 330 can determine and recommend one or more candidate forwarders that are closest to the individual requirements of the shipper. Additionally, in the process of determining a candidate forwarder, if the number of candidate forwarders does not meet the conditions and is determined to be less than one, the forwarder control unit 330 may repeat the process of arbitrarily releasing one or more requirements among the individual requirements of the shipper. there is. That is, if there is no candidate forwarder that matches the shipper's requirements, the forwarder control unit 330 may request the user to release one or more of the individual requirements.

The forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may determine at least one candidate forwarder based on the service fee for each transaction item and generate an Incoterms adaptive quotation. The Incoterms adaptive quotation may correspond to a quotation that combines the costs that accommodate the individual requirements of the shipper and the Incoterms quotation templates of multiple candidate forwarders. In other words, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 can calculate the optimal quotation by analyzing the cost that accommodates the individual requirements of the shipper and the quotations of a plurality of candidate forwarders. The forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may request bidding for service fees for each transaction item from at least one candidate forwarder. Here, bidding may include proposing a bid by sharing an Incoterms quotation template with a candidate forwarder. The forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may receive a bid from at least one candidate forwarder and provide the user with bidding details through the user terminal 110, allowing the user to select at least one candidate forwarder among a plurality of candidate forwarders. there is. Additionally, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may provide an interface for modifying Incoterms rules or individual requirements of the shipper when the user does not select a candidate forwarder. Here, the case where the user does not select a candidate forwarder may include a case where the user determines that the candidate forwarder is not suitable, but is not limited to this and may include a case where the user does not select a candidate forwarder for a long period of time.

In one embodiment, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may determine a forwarder by bidding on service fees for each transaction item for at least one candidate forwarder. For example, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 can adjust the service fee by providing transaction items to the candidate forwarder through the forwarder terminal 111. Here, transaction items may include freight costs, transportation costs, tariffs, and insurance costs for the transportation route. Additionally, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may provide an environment in which candidate forwarders can participate in bidding. For example, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may provide a brokerage platform accessible through the user terminal 110 and the candidate forwarder terminal 111, but is not necessarily limited thereto. The brokerage platform can be provided in the form of a website or application, and is not limited to bidding work, but can provide a business environment for the import and export process, including quote inquiry and real-time location of cargo.

In one embodiment, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may analyze the forwarder's Incoterms adaptive quotation based on the service fee for each transaction item for at least one candidate forwarder and request to adjust the service fee for a specific fee item. That is, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may analyze the Incoterms adaptive quotation of at least one candidate forwarder, calculate the minimum service fee for each fee item, and request the forwarder to adjust the service fee based on the service fee. Specifically, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may transmit the minimum service fee statement to the user terminal 110 and the forwarder terminal 111 and receive approval requests from the user and the forwarder. The lowest service charge statement may correspond to the Incoterms adaptive quotation of the candidate forwarder with the most lowest service charge items among at least one forwarder. For example, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 calculates the lowest service fee for each fee item by analyzing the Incoterms adaptive quotation for at least one candidate forwarder, and sets the lowest service fee to the candidate forwarder with the most minimum service fee items. You may request a service fee adjustment for other fee items. For example, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may request the candidate forwarder with the most minimum rate items to adjust the service rate by providing the lowest rate items of other candidate forwarders to the candidate forwarder with the most lowest rate items. If the candidate forwarder approves the service fee adjustment request, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may request final approval by transmitting the Incoterms adaptive quotation of the candidate forwarder to the user.

In one embodiment, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may select the service fee for a specific transaction item based on the deviation between the service fees for each transaction item for at least one candidate forwarder. That is, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 can analyze the service fee for each transaction item, select the lowest fee, and calculate the final forwarder quotation. Here, the final forwarder quote may include the minimum service fee for each fee item. That is, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 includes the lowest rate for each rate item among the Incoterms adaptive quotation of at least one candidate forwarder in the rate items based on the Incoterms rules and the individual requirements of the shipper, thereby following the Incoterms rule selected by the user. can provide users with the lowest service fee that reflects the shipper's requirements. Additionally, the forwarder quotation processing unit 340 may provide the calculated final forwarder quotation to the user terminal 110 and the forwarder terminal 111.

The control unit 350 controls the overall operation of the Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device 130, and includes an Incoterms rule creation unit 310, an Incoterms quotation template creation unit 320, a forwarder control unit 330, and a forwarder quotation form.

For example, when selecting CFR (Cost And Freight), the Incoterms rule selection unit 310 can provide an explanation of the CFR to the user, and can confirm the Incoterms rule after providing the explanation. The forwarder control unit 330 may request the forwarder to fill in the service fee for each transaction item by providing a cost creation request interface according to Incoterms rules. Here, the forwarder control unit 330 may fill in the rate input field for each forwarder, return a cost creation request message, and store the cost creation request message in the database 150.

Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating a conventional logistics process of the Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the conventional logistics process has a problem in that it is difficult to check the real-time status of logistics work due to different types of information and manual transmission for each related entity due to different information entry methods for each forwarder due to different forwarders for each user. For example, when user A entrusts logistics work to forwarder A and forwarder B to forward shipping cargo and air cargo, the work systems and logistics data management methods of forwarder A and forwarder B are different, ensuring smooth operation between transport entities. Communication is difficult. In other words, not only is it inconvenient for the shipper or forwarder to prepare documents related to one import/export logistics case separately even though they are similar in content, but also requires manpower and other related costs, such as re-writing due to errors, processing time in the event of a defect, and re-delivery costs. There is a problem that costs increase.

Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of an Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7, the problems of the existing logistics process of FIG. 6 can be solved by integrating existing forwarders through the Incoterms logistics forwarding service device 130 according to the present invention. For example, the Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device 130 can integrate and manage logistics processes scattered among forwarders by standardizing export and import-related information for each Incoterm. In addition, an Incoterms quotation template is created by detecting the shipper's individual requirements for Incoterms rules, candidate forwarders are selected based on the origin and destination of the cargo and the cargo's means of transportation, and the Incoterms quotation template is provided to the candidate forwarders. can be provided. That is, the Incoterms-based logistics forwarding service device 130 can determine a forwarder by bidding on service fees for each transaction item for candidate forwarders.
