As described above, in the present service, when selecting the technician W, information that changes from moment to moment such as available time and technician position information is considered. Thereby, it becomes possible to realize quick matching in consideration of the current position of the technician.

When the selected technician Ws is selected, the management server 1 asks the selected technician Ws for an order (step SS104). When the order is consulted, the selected technician Ws is provided with not only the requester information and the request information, but also the information regarding the desired date and time of the provision and the address of the desired location P for providing the product or the like. In addition, product information, procurable place H information, and construction budget information are provided. Furthermore, information such as traffic time prediction to the place (for example, traffic time calculated from the procurable place H and the distance to the current position of the selected technician Ws), allowance (artificial allowance) for the technician, etc. is also provided. ..
Specifically, the client information and the request information are transmitted from the management server 1 to the technician terminal 3 of the selected technician Ws. The selected technician Ws operates the technician terminal 3 to check the requester information and the request information transmitted from the management server 1 to determine the presence or absence of an order. Then, the selected technician Ws inputs the determination result of the presence or absence of an order into the technician terminal 3 and transmits it as an indication of intention for percussion (step SS106).

Further, in the present service, when the client U makes a temporary order, etc., the product information stored in the product DB 182 is automatically searched (step SS102).
Then, an item M to be provided, such as a product, that matches the requested content is selected (step SS103). Here, even if the selected technician Ws does not own the product M etc. to be provided, the selected technician Ws procures the product M to be provided M before arriving at the product etc. desired place P. If it is possible, the product etc. can be provided. For this reason, when the product M etc. to be provided is selected, the procurable place H where the product M etc. can be provided to the selection technician Ws is selected based on a predetermined standard. The “predetermined criterion” may be, for example, a criterion such that the place closest to the desired place P for providing products etc. is selected as the procurable place H. Further, for example, the “predetermined criterion” may be a criterion such that the procurable place H located closest to the current position of the selected technician Ws is selected. Then, an inquiry about the stock is made to the selected procurable place H. Specifically, the management server 1 inquires of the procurement place server 4 that manages the selected available procurement place H about whether or not to provide the product M to be provided.
Here, as the content of the inquiry, for example, category information, information about the technician W, the current location of the selected technician Ws, the ID of the selected technician Ws, the name of the selected technician Ws, the telephone number of the selected technician Ws, etc. included. Further, the category information indicates a classification category used when classifying products and the like.
Then, the procurement place server 4 sends a reply to the management server 1 as to whether or not the product M or the like to be provided M can be provided (step SS105). When the content of the response from the procurable place H is “OK”, the management server 1 informs the technician terminal 3 of the selected technician Ws about the procurable place H (hereinafter, “procureable place information”). "). The procurable location information includes product inventory information and product inventory information. The procurable location information includes information such as the name, address, map, contact information, and person in charge of the procurable location H, the required time from the current position of the selected technician Ws to the procurable location H, and the transaction. Includes available times, route guidance, etc.

The selected technician Ws operates the technician terminal 3 to input the scheduled time of arrival at the desired product provision location P. The information indicating the estimated arrival time input to the technician terminal 3 is transmitted to the management server 1 (step SS107). Here, in the example of FIG. 1, the number of the selected technicians Ws is only one (the technician W2), but the number of the selected technicians Ws may be plural. In that case, the management server 1 transmits information indicating the selected technician Ws having the earliest estimated arrival time to the client terminal 2 (step SS108). Although not shown in the figure, the selected technician Ws having the earliest arrival time is treated as a “temporary order technician Wt” who has made a tentative order from this point.
Here, the tentative order is an order form in which a formal order is promised at a later date and the formal order is reserved.

When the information indicating the temporary order technician Wt is transmitted, the requester U determines whether to formally place an order for the temporary order technician Wt. When making a formal order to the temporary order technician Wt, the fact is input to the client terminal 2 and transmitted to the management server 1 (step SS109). At this time, the desired place P for providing the product etc. is a place where the product etc. is provided (hereinafter, referred to as “place P for providing the product etc.”). When the formal order is placed, the management server 1 performs a settlement process by approximation (step SS110).

When the information indicating that a formal order is to be transmitted from the client terminal 2, the management server 1 transmits the information indicating that to the technician terminal 3 of the temporary order technician Wt (step SS111). Although not shown, when the client U makes a formal order, the temporary order technician Wt will be treated as the “order technician Wf” from that point on.

Further, of the procurable places H extracted by the management server 1, the procurable place H, which is located closest to the product provision site P, is a formal provision request for the provision of the goods M to be provided. Is performed (step SS112). Although not shown, the procurable procurement place H that has received the formal provision request will be treated as the “adapted procurement place Hc” from that point when the provision request is accepted (step SS113).

The management server 1 requests the provision of the product M for providing products and sends the following information to the procurement location server 4 that manages the conforming procurement location Hc. That is, the management server 1 transmits to the procurement place server 4 the information on the products and the like formally ordered by the order-accepting technician Wf and the technician position information of the order-accepting technician Wf. Further, the management server 1 also transmits information such as the time required for the ordered technician Wf to reach the conforming procurement place Hc to the procurement place server 4 (step SS114).

At the conforming procurement place Hc, preparation of the goods M or the like provision item M to be provided to the order acceptance engineer Wf when the order receiving engineer Wf visits the conforming procurement place Hc (step SS115).
When the order technician Wf visits the conforming procurement place Hc and receives the provision of the product etc. providing article M, thereafter, he visits the product provision site P to provide the requester U with the product etc.
The ordered technician Wf makes necessary adjustments (step SS116), provides the requester U with a product or the like (step SS117), and inputs the fact to the technician terminal 3. Here, the necessary adjustment means, for example, an adjustment between the client U and the technician W. Specifically, for example, addition of a product or the like to be provided, adjustment of an additional product or the like, date and time to receive a product or the like at a later date, or the like.
When the above-mentioned input is completed, information indicating that the ordered technician Wf has provided the product etc. (hereinafter, referred to as “technical completion report”) is transmitted to the management server 1 and the client terminal 2 ( Step SS118). For example, the technician completion report includes images (including still images or videos) before and after receiving products, etc., completion report, presence/absence of products etc. additionally provided, additional costs, etc. ..
When the management server 1 receives the technician completion report transmitted from the technician terminal 3, the service provider G approves the report. Further, when the client terminal 2 receives the technician completion report transmitted from the technician terminal 3, the client U approves the report. When the approval by the service provider G and the requester U is completed, the final settlement is executed (step SS119). For example, the final settlement includes approximate cost, additional cost, and the like.
This completes the provision of the goods and the like to the requester U by the order technician Wf.

After that, although not shown, the service provider G conducts a satisfaction questionnaire to the requester U about the products and the like provided by the order technician Wf. Specifically, the management server 1 transmits a satisfaction questionnaire about the product etc. to the requester terminal 2 of the client U who has received the product etc. provided by the order technician Wf.
As a result, the requester U who has received the product or the like evaluates the order technician Wf. That is, the management server 1 evaluates the order technician Wf based on the result of the satisfaction questionnaire. Then, based on the evaluation result, the management server 1 evaluates the skill and raises or lowers the unit price of providing the product or the like among the technician information of the technician W stored and managed in the technician DB 181. And decide. As a result, it is possible to build a personnel evaluation system that can improve the motivation of the order-skilled worker Wf.

According to this service, the following effects and merits can be expected. That is, it is possible to utilize a so-called "return" technician W who is rehired after retiring. As a result, the cost borne by the client U can be reduced. For example, if the technician W is a craftsman, the daily allowance is usually about 20,000 yen, but even for small-scale construction (for example, a shelf board is broken), a day including free time before and after the working time is included. It can happen. On the other hand, according to this service, the craftsman can use the idle time before and after the working time for the requested work.
Thereby, for example, the client U can undertake the construction at a cost of about 5000 yen. Further, it becomes possible for the plurality of clients U to share the daily allowance of the craftsman. As a result, the cost borne by each client U can be reduced.
Further, according to this service, it is possible to increase the daily sales of the technician W. For example, an artisan who undertakes the above-mentioned small-scale work for a daily allowance of 20,000 yen can allocate extra time to the work requested by another client U to earn extra income and receive a daily allowance of 20,000 yen. It is possible to obtain plus α. Thereby, the technician W can obtain a daily allowance of, for example, about 23,000 yen.
Further, according to this service, it is also possible to build an objective and fair reward system based on the contents of the evaluation of the technician W by the client U. As described above, when the technician W completes the provision of the product etc., the satisfaction questionnaire to the client U is carried out. The results of this questionnaire are scored (scored) for absolute evaluation and reflected in the technician information. As a result, the hourly salary amount and the reward amount of the technician W are changed based on the absolute evaluation. Further, weighting may be performed so that the technician W having a high absolute evaluation is preferentially selected as the selected technician Ws. The number of satisfaction questionnaires, etc., is registered in the technician DB 181, and based on these data, for example, once every six months, a total score is obtained, and the technicians are ranked, and the artificial allowance is determined. Good. In addition to the result of the satisfaction questionnaire, for example, the skill workshop and the training test are conducted, and the number of participations in the skill training and the result of the training test are reflected in the hourly salary and the reward amount of the technician W. You may do it.
In addition, this service can provide employment opportunities for freelancers and sub-contractors.
Further, according to this service, it is possible to expect an increase in sales due to the improvement of the location utilization rate of the location provider. Specifically, for example, depending on the product or the like to be provided, the desired place P for providing the product or the place P for providing the product may be a place owned by a place provider which is a third party other than the client U. In that case, since the place provider is an on-demand type order form in which the technician W provides products and the like in response to a request from the requester U or the technician W, the place provider operates It is possible to facilitate the planning of the operation schedule. As a result, it is possible to effectively utilize the vacant time and the vacant space, and there is an effect such as an increase in sales per sales floor area and an improvement in the operating rate (decrease in the vacancy rate) due to the decrease in the vacant time and the space.
Further, according to this service, it is possible to expect an increase in sales of a person who provides the product M to be provided (for example, a store of a home center, a business office of a building material trading company, etc.).

Further, according to this service, physical distribution and construction can be integrated. That is, this service does not simply match the client U and the technician W.
This service is all about ordering and receiving products etc. provided by technician W, distributing goods M providing goods etc., providing products etc. by technician W (construction by craftsmen), and settlement of consideration for products etc. It is a service that makes it seamless by performing on line. In other words, this service can be said to be a service that can provide an innovative IT platform.

Specifically, for example, when the product etc. provided by the craftsman as the technician W is “renovation of a house”, all the procedures required for the reform are standardized and centrally managed. That is, the ordering by the client U, the arrangement of the craftsmen, the estimation of the costs, the sale of the goods M to be provided by the distributor or the manufacturer (for example, the members necessary for the reform), the payment of the costs, and the construction by the craftsmen are standardized. Are centrally managed.
As a result, real-time and seamless matching of people, objects, places, and time is realized. As a result, since it is possible for a craftsman to quickly perform the construction, it is possible to realize a reform service of, for example, a minimum of 3 hours.

In summary, according to this service, the following innovative functions (1) to (7) can be realized.
That is, (1) a seamless ordering and settlement function can be realized.
(2) It is possible to realize a function of prompt matching between the client U (for example, a construction worker) and the technician W (for example, a craftsman).
(3) The function of scoring the skill (skill) of the technician W (for example, craftsman) can be realized.
(4) It is possible to realize a function of accelerating payment (for example, immediate payment after construction) of a reward (for example, wage, artificial fee) to a technician W (for example, craftsman).
(5) It is possible to realize a function of speeding up estimation by managing rewards (for example, wages and artificial charges) using a database.
(6) It is possible to realize the function of factoring the remuneration of the skilled worker W (for example, a craftsman) (for example, a wage, an artificial fee) and the accounts receivable such as a product (for example, a house reform).
(7) It is possible to realize a function of utilizing a database (for example, creating a sales plan) with respect to needs of products and the like (for example, home remodeling).
