Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[001] This technical solution generally relates to methods and systems of computer technology, in particular, to methods and systems for automatically linking a shipper and a carrier for carrying out cargo transportation.

BACKGROUND

[002] Freight traffic is currently a complex process that takes a lot of time to organize. As in any process, there are a lot of unforeseen circumstances in cargo transportation, which are often simply impossible to foresee.

[003] Logistic managers are involved in the selection of freight forwarders, vehicles, verification of necessary documents, calculation of delivery times, and other design. Based on the database of developed routes that meet all existing requirements, logisticians have to call up the shipper, and then find the carrier, specify the cost of transportation and fully control the process of transportation, being an intermediary.

[004] Another issue is paperwork. This procedure requires a huge knowledge of the logistician, as a rule, legal and accounting. Considerable experience is required to complete all the supporting documentation in a short time in compliance with the law, however, the human factor makes a large number of errors and routine work during registration, which significantly affects the time of the service.

[005] The involvement of intermediaries, as well as the use of older means of communication and tracking, can lead to increased costs or loss of potential revenue. An increase in costs may also include an increase in overhead costs to third parties, and loss of potential revenue may depend on an increase in the carrier’s travel time, as well as carriers that are not fully involved, as well as unexpected delays that are not fully communicated to the shipper.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[006] This technical solution is aimed at eliminating the disadvantages inherent in solutions known from the prior art, as well as traditional methods of linking the shipper and the carrier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0021] The following will describe the terms and concepts necessary for the implementation of this technical solution.

[0022] This technical solution can be implemented on a computer or other data processing device, in the form of a system or computer-readable medium containing instructions for performing the above method.

[0023] The technical solution can be implemented as a distributed computer system, the components of which are cloud or local servers.

[0024] In this solution, a system refers to a computer system or an automated system (AS), a computer (electronic computer), CNC (numerical control), PLC (programmable logic controller), a computerized control system, and any other devices capable of performing a given, clearly defined sequence of computational operations (actions, instructions).

[0025] An instruction processing device is understood to mean an electronic unit or an integrated circuit (microprocessor) executing machine instructions (programs).

[0026] The command processing device reads and executes machine instructions (programs) from one or more data storage devices. Storage devices may include, but are not limited to, hard disks (HDDs), flash memory, ROM (read only memory), solid state drives (SSDs), optical drives, and cloud storage.

[0027] A program is a sequence of instructions for execution by a computer control device or an instruction processing device.

[0028] Shipper - a consumer of transport services who has handed over the goods for transportation and is indicated as a sender in the contract of carriage.

[0029] Freight Carrier - an individual or legal entity engaged in the carriage of goods in the possession of a vehicle; party to the contract of carriage of goods, counterparty of the shipper.

[0030] This technical solution allows interaction between shippers and freight forwarders via the Internet. The system shown in FIG. 1, allows shippers to place their transportation needs, for example, the point of departure and delivery, type of transport, amount of cargo carried. In addition to the automatic linking of the shipper and the carrier, which leads to a service transaction, the system can provide tools to track the location of each cargo, to estimate the arrival time of each cargo, to track critical events during delivery or shipment, to estimate the cost of any shipment, for Break-even point estimates for any consignment to optimize system performance or best meet the needs of shippers.

[0031] In some embodiments, the invention may use a smart contract to automatically link the shipper and the carrier, i.e. A computer algorithm designed to conclude and maintain self-executing contracts executed in a blockchain environment.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, a computerized method for automatically linking the shipper and the carrier consists of the following steps:

[0033] Step 201: receive from at least one shipper a request for at least one delivery of the cargo containing data on the delivery of the goods;

[0034] One or more shippers 100 may enter information into a system 110 for automatically linking a shipper and a carrier. This input from one or more shippers 100 may include delivery and / or price requirements for shipment using existing vehicles.

[0035] The shipper and freight carrier automatic linking system 110 may include one or more graphical user interfaces (GUIs) displayed on a website or in a special mobile application for use by a shipper or freight carrier on a mobile device. The mobile device may be a tablet, smartphone, cell phone, wearable electronic interface, such as an electronic watch or smart watch, etc. System 110 may receive data from one or more shippers and / or one or more freight carriers 120. The request is made using the HTTP, HTTPS, or SPDY data transfer protocol.

[0036] The shipper 100 may have a mobile application for interacting with the shipper and freight carrier automatic linking system 110 on a mobile computing device, or the shipper 100 may use the website for interaction.

[0037] As soon as the shipper 100 performs registration in the system 110, he can provide information about himself in the system 110. The type of information may include contact information, address of dispatch and delivery, type of goods sent, their size and weight, bank details and the like.

[0038] In this step, for example, an individual entrepreneur who is the shipper 100 may send a search request for a supplier, truck driver, or freight carrier company 120 to transport goods from one place to another. A detailed description of the request may include the size of the shipment, place of departure, destination, weight and price that the shipper is ready and can pay for the shipment. Additionally, the request may include information about the available cargo space, location, route, additional parameters.

[0039] In some embodiments, the shipper is automatically scored based on its data, i.e. determine the tendency of the shipper to transport goods in a particular type of vehicle, loading and unloading, insurance and customs clearance of goods, intermodal transport, oversized transport. Scoring can be performed based on the history of the shipper’s orders, data on social networks, the Internet on forums, in system 110, etc. Based on the scoring of the shipper, they are assigned a scoring score, which can take a numerical or percentage value. Then they form a recommendation to the shipper on the most profitable cargo transportation, I send him various offers based on a scoring ball. In some embodiments, a shipper is issued a loan to a shipper based on a scoring ball. For the scoring described above, statistical methods are used (discriminant analysis, linear regression, logistic regression, classification trees), operations research (linear programming, nonlinear optimization) and artificial intelligence (neural networks, expert systems, genetic algorithms, nearest neighbors method, Bayesian networks, logic probabilistic methods). These methods can be applied both individually and in various combinations.

[0040] At this step, the shipper 100 may also enter a mode and method of communication and / or notification (eg, email message, telephone call / message, facsimile transmission, pager, mail message, push notification, etc.). The shipper 100 may also provide search instructions and / or criteria for finding the carrier 120. For example, the shipper 100 may formulate in his request search queries that would be performed for carriers 120 at various time intervals, with fixed time intervals, to search for specific carriers having specialized skills in relation to certain goods or products, for the search for certain freight forwarders having a certain tariff structure and avoc, etc.

[0041] The present invention relates to a system and method for linking a shipper 100 and a freight carrier 120 to provide domestic and / or international transport services related to the transportation of goods. Shippers and freight forwarders can be connected to the system 110 by a modem for dial-up transmission for communication with the Internet and, accordingly, disconnected from the system or work autonomously. For example, a user who is a shipper can use a modem to transmit data on a dial-up line and send a request for booking freight to the freight carrier via the Internet, and then disconnect from the Internet. After the shipper 100 shuts down and is offline, the system 110 may send a freight request to the freight carrier and will receive a confirmation of the freight request from the freight forwarders 120 when the shipper was offline. In another embodiment, system 110 may process information while the user is still connected to the Internet. This allows the shipper to be notified as soon as one of the carriers has confirmed his intention to carry out the transportation. The system and method provides shippers the opportunity to request and select from a list of specific service templates offered by participating freight carriers when booking freight.

[0042] In some embodiments, shippers 100 send a freight request to several freight carriers 120 and track freight using a single common system 110 and user interface.

[0043] The request represents the consignor's intention to transport the volume of goods from one point of departure to one destination or several intermediate destinations. Goods may vary by type of product, may be a mixture of hazardous and non-hazardous, may require refrigeration and the like, as a result of which different types of containers may be required. In addition, the shipper 100 can send a request for freight information in the form of XML, JSON or EDI data sets for processing using a common system 110. A common system 110 can forward a request to all freight carriers to see who will respond, and the order will be given to the first one who confirmed intention to carry out cargo transportation. Otherwise, the system can filter requests from shippers 100 to minimize the number of freight carriers 120 that receive the request. In addition, system 110 may have a routing list, as indicated by the shipper, to streamline the hierarchy of carriers along a given route / set of routes.

[0044] In some embodiments, the shipper request contains the characteristics and data of the carrier. Freight data may contain a weight that characterizes the degree of importance of a particular criterion for a search in a shipper request. For example, it is very important for the shipper that he has a refrigerator and it is not very important what length of service the driver has or the order of the price. The weight may take, for example, a numerical value from 0 to 1 or a percentage value. The weight is further used upon receipt of the carrier’s contact.

[0045] Step 202: receive contact of at least one freight carrier corresponding to the parameters of the request for delivery of cargo received from the shipper in the previous step;

[0046] As defined in this technical solution, the term “carrier” can generally include the terms “supplier”, “truck driver”, “driver”, “carrier”, “vehicle”, “carrier service”, “delivery service” , "Delivery provider", "delivery service provider", "transport service provider", not limited to.

[0047] When working with the system 110, the carrier 120 provides contact information about himself, information about the vehicle, bank details, work experience and the like. In some embodiments, the shipper 100 may provide insurance claims and restrictions on the volume of transportation that the freight carrier must comply with. In some implementations, when the freight carrier is not an individual, but is represented by a company, it may have rules and requirements for its carriers, compliance with which provides additional security during transportation. Verification of a company or a carrier by system 110 can be carried out according to their details: KPP, TIN and so on. The carrier can optionally fill out the profile of his transport company, indicating the contact details for the shipper. This responsible person may be the default responsible person, who is always responsible for deliveries in the system or the responsible person may vary from delivery to delivery.

[0048] The carrier indicates all contact and legal information on the basis of which his scoring score will be further generated. The freight carrier must first provide basic information on the legal entity, data on the general director and founders, which will be checked automatically by the system.

[0049] In some embodiments, the carrier 120 and its carrier or carrier 120 and the shipper 100 are contacted by entering into a smart contract.

[0050] In this step, at least one freight carrier 120 is searched for to request the shipper 100 by comparing freight carrier information and data from the shipper request. In some embodiments, the freight carrier generates a subscription to the freight transportation directions of interest to him, orders for which he receives if at least one shipper appears in the order system.

[0051] For example, in his request, the shipper indicated that it was necessary to transport seafood from Vladivostok to Moscow, and it was required that the carrier had refrigerators with a certain temperature. Thus, they search in the system of cargo carriers in the direction of Vladivostok-Moscow, which have refrigerators.

[0052] In some embodiments, the contact of at least one freight carrier corresponding to the parameters of the request for cargo delivery from the shipper is received along route AB, which, at the time of the request, carries out cargo transportation along route CA and will be at the point of departure BUT.

[0053] In some embodiments, the contact of the at least one carrier corresponding to the parameters of the request for delivery of the goods from the shipper is obtained by progressively comparing the parameters of the request of the shipper and the data about the carrier.

[0054] In some embodiments, the contact of at least one freight carrier corresponding to the parameters of the cargo delivery request from the shipper is obtained by using the weight of the characteristics from the shipper request and freight carrier data.

[0055] Step 203: verification of at least one freight carrier whose contact has been received;

[0056] The data obtained by the freight carrier, or at least a portion thereof, can be verified and can be used to generate feature sets for machine learning systems. Machine learning methods help you research the contents of freight carrier data to determine if it is bona fide. Freight carriers can confuse the system or hide most of the information about themselves, for example, by placing most of their information in a form that is difficult for automatic processing. However, freight carrier data cannot be completely masked, as freight carriers must provide a way to easily establish communication with shippers. Examples of such methods include using a link to an Internet resource (eg, URL) and / or email address (eg, IP address), a mobile phone number. The above types of information or their varieties, or parts thereof, can be used as features for verification of a freight carrier. The carrier 120 may photograph itself or its driver’s license by sending a photograph to the system 110. The photograph may be used to verify the identity and credentials of the driver. In particular, this information can be used to train an unscrupulous freight carrier detection detector and / or freight carrier filter through, for example, a machine learning system that analyzes data from social networks, forums, and other available Internet information sources related to a freight carrier.

[0057] For example, based on the contact information of the user, or the TIN of the carrier, the system searches for data in open sources of information and analyzes them.

[0058] In some embodiments, a security payment or deposit is automatically charged to the carrier to verify its solvency, which is then returned.

[0059] In some embodiments of this technical solution, the carrier is verified by fingerprints, scanned retina, voice, or other biometric information.

[0060] In some embodiments of this technical solution, the carrier is verified by using his bank card and data about it.

[0061] Additionally, the carrier is verified by his current account, individual registration plate (number) of the car, as well as external databases of dishonest carriers.

[0062] Step 204: if the carrier has passed verification, a shipper request is sent to him for at least one delivery of the goods;

[0063] The system 110 may also include positioning and / or signaling means 130 that operate with a mobile computing device used by freight carriers 120. In some embodiments, a positioning system 130 is installed on both the freight carrier’s mobile computing device and the vehicle moreover, these systems interact to uniquely match the carrier and cargo. Positioning and / or signaling systems 130 may include GPS / GLONASS positioning systems, wireless Internet systems, cell phone signaling systems, or a combination of these systems, or another wireless communication system that can receive data from a satellite or generate data regarding the location of a mobile computing device or vehicle. Knowing the location of the mobile computing device of the carrier 120 or the vehicle during cargo transportation may allow the automatic linking system 110 to determine the location of the cargo and display progress information to the shipper 100 and / or the carrier 120.

[0064] The freight carrier 120, upon entering the system 110, can select the directions of cargo delivery that are of interest to him, according to which orders will automatically come in the system, for example, Moscow - Vladivostok.

[0065] If the carrier 120 receives the goods, he agrees to abide by the rules and contract with the shipper 100 and deliver the goods at the appointed time and place. Shipping details may include the name of the shipper, shipping number, date and time of the beginning and end of the shipment, the number of kilometers along the route, expected delivery time, and other details. The carrier can choose a more detailed description of the order and view information such as additional requirements for shipment, an electronic copy of the contract of carriage, payment details, primary contact person, and the like. In some embodiments, the shipper may place an order for bidding so that carriers choose the best price. In other embodiments, the shipper can request a decrease in freight cost or denial of service in the system through its graphical interface.

[0066] The system may provide the shipper with the ability to automatically engage the shipper when it meets the shipper’s criteria for candy delivery, including shipping costs. In the case of an automatic interaction between a carrier and a shipper that meets acceptable criteria, both the shipper and the carrier can be notified by email, text message, PUSH message in a mobile application or website, a telephone message, or any combination thereof. In addition, each shipment dispatched by the shipper has a time frame, including deadlines when the shipment must leave the point of departure, as well as when it must arrive. After the shipment has been shipped in the system, the shipment can be identified, for example, by color coding or categorization, by the time the shipment has to leave its starting point. For example, if the shipped cargo is within twenty-four hours after its shipment, the order may be painted yellow. As soon as the shipment is for a shorter period of time, for example, 4 or 2 hours before the delivery time, the order may be green in color on the interface. Overdue orders can be categorized as either expired or expired, and are displayed only if the shipper or carrier carries out a search for such items.

[0067] A carrier may include information about the availability of vehicles, the price of transportation of goods. An application for the cost of transportation of cargo may include the cost of an hour of work of the driver, the cost of travel for transport, fuel costs, special transportation costs and taxes (for example, duties, taxes, etc.).

[0068] Step 205: receive confirmation from the shipper of the shipment with the verified carrier.

[0069] A confirmation from the shipper for the transportation of goods with this carrier is automatically obtained by e-mail, SMS, phone call, sent to the system.

[0070] In some embodiments, upon receipt of a confirmation in the system, payment is automatic, in part or in full, from the consignor’s account after delivery of the goods. In other embodiments of the invention, the shipper selects a method of payment for the services of a carrier, for example, payment for each cargo separately, payment in advance for a month, special tariff for a large volume, etc.
