Inference engine-based logistics billing system and logistics billing method

Abstract

The invention provides an inference engine-based logistics billing system and logistics billing method. The method comprises the following steps of 1, obtaining and storing client business data, and establishing related billing rules according to a data structure; 2, extracting business data needed to be billed and sent by a client; and 3, performing matching on the established billing rules and the to-be-billed business data by using a rule engine of an RETE algorithm according to the established billing rules and the to-be-billed business data, obtaining the billing rule corresponding to the to-be-billed data, performing calculation and outputting an expense result. The billing rules and the business data in the method are stored in cloud. According to the inference engine-based logistics billing method and system, the business modification is flexible and concise; business experts and non technicians can directly operate a business process and flexibly customize the business process; and the deployment is carried out in a cloud computing mode, so that the expansion is facilitated, one-time deployment is realized, simultaneous use by multiple tenants is supported, and the labor efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of logistics application development, in particular to a logistics billing system and a logistics billing method based on a reasoning engine in the field of processes requiring complex transaction processing or changing business in the running stage. Background technique [0002] At present, many third-party logistics informatization projects in China have not realized the automation of logistics cost calculation, and because of the vast territory of our country, there are great differences in the billing methods of various regions and industries, the billing problem is still a challenging problem. [0003] The business requirements in the logistics industry are very complex and changeable, and it is necessary to carry out customized development according to the specific business characteristics of different logistics service providers and warehousing service providers. However, the calculation of logistics costs is t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of using hard-coded customization are: it is impossible to uniformly maintain flexible and changeable calculation methods in a unified interface; the abstraction height of hard-coded cannot solve higher-level flexibility; later service providers and shippers have new cost calculation methods, It is often necessary to modify the original code on a large scale, which will inevitably lead to problems such as untimely response, high labor intensity, and low labor efficiency.

[0004] The disadvantages of the hard-coded logistics billing method are: complex business configuration cannot be performed during the software operation stage, and after the business process is adjusted, the deployment needs to be re-planned; it is difficult for business experts to participate in the business customization process, and the gap between business experts and technical implementers Communication is a huge project; every time a new function is implemented, a complex business implementation process needs to be completed

Generally speaking, after the tariff entries of a logistics company or cargo owner are structured, the number of entries ranges from hundreds to tens of thousands. Therefore, every modification and adjustment in the hard coding will affect the large number of tariff entries. use correctly

[0013] For other expenses in the logistics cost, such as warehousing warehousing fees, warehousing fees and other expenses, the cost schedules are completely different. For system implementation, they are inexhaustible and often become difficulties in project implementation, making projects difficult Delivery, low customer satisfaction
