Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a market ordering system that can easily process orders, including placing and receiving orders specialized for market transactions, and the associated settlement processes. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, the distribution of products in wholesale markets for marine products, fruits and vegetables, flowers, etc. is carried out by product providers such as producers, agricultural cooperatives, and fishing cooperatives bringing their products to the market, where wholesalers and middlemen purchase the products through auctions and mutual transactions, and then quickly sell them to customers such as restaurants and retailers. Normally, middlemen and other wholesalers do not do business with an unspecified number of customers, as is the case with internet retailers, and their main job is to sell high-quality products that they have selected through their discerning eye at fair prices to restaurants and retailers with whom they already have business relationships.

[0003] In the distribution of goods in wholesale markets, it is preferable to buy and sell goods to specific business partners as scheduled, and currently orders are sent by telephone, fax, or through SNS that allows message transmission. In addition, for payments, payment sites that close at the end of the month and pay at the end of the following month are used, but for the calculation, a spreadsheet program on a personal computer or other specialized payment software is used, and all the figures on the order form and delivery note must be entered without fail. Electronic payments using IT are also possible, and such payments are being promoted in some areas, but most still rely on bank transfers at the end of the month.

[0004] One known system for electronically digitizing transactions, including auctions, is one in which a computer at a company that operates a market collects sales data on items shipped and sold by shipping companies, tallying up this sales data and invoicing the successful bidder for the item in a lump sum, and then distributing the sales price received from the successful bidder to each shipping company (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-197976 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] When looking at the function of a wholesale market, particularly from the perspective of middlemen, it can be divided into two stages: the stage of purchasing products for wholesale and the stage of selling the purchased products to trading partners. Creating and operating a software application that oversees both of these stages is unlikely to be satisfactory in terms of ease of use, as it would also include specialized transactions such as auctions.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a market ordering system that is extremely easy for market participants to use and can increase the efficiency of overall distribution. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the market ordering system of the present invention is a system in which product information from order recipients is provided to an orderer via each terminal connected to a server, and payment processing is carried out based on the order processing of the orderer, and for example, a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone or smartphone is used as the terminal, and the server is a Web server or information and communication device in which software for the market ordering system is installed, which handles user information, trading partner information, product information, history, various information related to payment, etc., and is a device capable of communicating with users via a line such as the Internet. As for the terminal, it is possible to log in by specifying a URL, and it is also possible to function as a terminal that connects to the server by downloading an application.

[0009] In particular, the main information processing procedures of the market ordering system disclosed in this invention are as follows: a procedure in which the order recipient and the orderer register as users in the ordering system via their respective terminals, a procedure in which the order recipient and the orderer register as business partners via their respective terminals and the server, a procedure in which the order recipient and the orderer display the business partners registered on the order screen of the orderer's terminal together with product information for the business partners after the business partners are registered, a procedure in which the order recipient places an order on the orderer's terminal for the product information from the order recipient registered as the business partner, and a procedure in which settlement is made in response to the order operation. These information processing procedures are the result of transferring the main parts of the business relationships inside and outside the wholesale market to the procedures in this system structure consisting of servers and terminals, and realize highly efficient and easy-to-use processing.

[0010] In addition, in one example of the market ordering system disclosed as the present invention, the above-mentioned order-receiving party can display product information for which a trading partner has not been determined on the terminals of the trading partner and the orderer other than the trading partner. From such a display on the terminal of the orderer, information on sudden or non-regular products can be provided, further enhancing the function of the wholesale market.

[0011] In addition, in the market ordering and supply system of the present invention, payment information related to the processed product information can be compiled by the server or a server that performs the payment processing, and the compiled payment information can be sent to one or both of the contractor's and orderer's terminals. Also, the product information displayed on the contractor's terminal when entering the product information and the product information displayed on the orderer's terminal before placing an order can display past history by default, and can be changed before updating.

[0012] Furthermore, in the market order system according to the present invention, the order recipient and the orderer can register as users or business partners to the order system using multiple terminals. For example, in a business entity with multiple sales representatives, it is possible to set business partners for each sales representative. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] The market ordering system according to the present embodiment is a system that is used mainly in wholesale markets for marine products, fruits and vegetables, flowers, etc., and that handles everything from order integration to settlement. As shown in FIG. 1, the system according to the present embodiment includes a plurality of portable electronic devices 12A, 12B, 12C, ... equipped with a required operating system, and a plurality of portable electronic devices 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, ... equipped with a required operating system, which can be connected to a system server 18 via a communication network 16 such as the Internet. These portable electronic devices 12A, 12B, 12C, ..., 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, ... are devices held by some of the market participants, and here the portable electronic devices 12A, 12B, 12C, ... are portable electronic devices held by each person on the wholesaler side, i.e., the order-receiving side, and the portable electronic devices 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, ... are devices held by each person on the order-receiving side who trades with the wholesaler, such as a restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, or a retailer.

[0015] The system server 18 has a database such as MySQL, and can store and retrieve data such as registered user information of the orderer and the orderee, various product information, order status information, and history information in the database. The system server 18 can be operated in a Web server format accessible from a specified URL, and can transmit and receive signals between multiple servers 12A, 12B, 12C, ..., 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, ... via the communication network 16. The system server 18 can have a payment server itself that performs payment, but in this embodiment, a payment server 20 that performs external payment is also operated as part of the system, thereby realizing processing using existing payment means. As the payment server 20 that performs external payment, a payment server used for electronic money or credit card can be used. The payment server 20 obtains information about payment from the system server 18, and the system server 18 can update the order status information and payment information based on the information from the payment server 20.

[0016] The market order system of this embodiment is a system that efficiently promotes ordering and receiving between market participants, and also integrates settlement processing, which was previously performed separately from ordering and receiving. The market order system of this embodiment is not designed to be a system for sharing information widely among many users like general mail order sites, but is designed to allow wholesalers to efficiently share information with their business partners, whose behavior is relatively fixed and does not fluctuate, and to continue processing quickly. In the market order system of this embodiment, the flow of information is handled in the stages of system user registration, business partner information input and setting, product information input, product ordering, product shipping, and settlement, and the basic flow is described below. The market order system of this embodiment can be used by installing an application on a portable electronic device, or by connecting to a URL server and logging in to use a web application.

[0017] In the registration stage of the market ordering system of this embodiment, authentication of email and password is required, and when setting up a new account, two-step authentication is performed via message communication of the portable electronic device. FIG. 2 shows an entry screen 22 displayed on the screen of each portable electronic device when starting to use the market ordering system of this embodiment, which displays boxes 24 and 26 for authentication of email (or ID) and password in normal use, a hyperlink 27 for SignUp of a new account for new registration, and a reset link 28 for registrants who have forgotten their password. Users of the market ordering system of this embodiment can start using the system and can also register new users by inputting their email (or ID) and password from the entry screen 22. A mobile phone number can be used as part of the ID or for authentication.

[0018] First, a method of user registration will be described. The market ordering system of this embodiment is not a system in which information is disclosed to everyone, but a system in which necessary information is efficiently transmitted and received between customers, and the status of a customer is also generated among business partners, and in order to become a business partner (in the system), it is necessary to become a registrant of the market ordering system of this embodiment beforehand. In the market ordering system of this embodiment, as an example, as shown in the registration screen 32 shown in FIG. 3, two types of registration are possible: order-receiver registration, which is started by clicking an order-receiver registration button 34, and order-receiver registration, which is started by clicking an order-receiver registration button 36. The order-receiver is a seller who sells products by providing product information, and specifically corresponds to a wholesaler or a middleman. The order-receiver is a buyer who decides to purchase based on product information, and specifically corresponds to a restaurant or a retailer.

[0019] In the order-receiver registration, which is carried out by selecting the order-receiver registration button 34, information for identifying the order-receiver, such as the address, name or title, name of the wholesale market, wholesaler license number, telephone number, facsimile number, email, and website URL, is entered, and information regarding the payment method is also entered. In order to prevent the order-receiver from being registered as a false identity, the administrator of the system server 18 can request the wholesaler to send a copy of the license or a photograph of the license, and can also read and enter the government-assigned My Number. A trader who has licenses for multiple wholesale markets can send copies or images of all of the licenses. An original key (ID) is assigned to the order-receiver registered by this order-receiver registration. Information regarding the payment method includes information on the payment site, such as payment rules such as closing at the end of the month and paying at the end of the following month, and a bank account or electronic money account as the payment destination, and this information is stored in the memory area of ​​the system server 18. Part of the registrant information can also be used as information on the sender of the product. In addition, the supplier can set a logo or icon to make it easier to recognize on the screen of the market ordering system of this embodiment, and these identification displays can also reduce input errors in ordering.

[0020] Similarly, in the purchaser registration, which is carried out by selecting the purchaser registration button 36, information for identifying the purchaser, such as address, name or title, wholesale market name, telephone number, facsimile number, email, and website URL, is entered, and information regarding the payment method is also entered. Multiple wholesale market names can be entered. A unique key (ID) is assigned to the purchaser registered by this purchaser registration. Information regarding the payment method includes information on the desired payment site, for example, payment rules such as closing at the end of the month and paying at the end of the following month, and information on the designated payment account, such as a bank account or electronic money account. This information is stored in the memory area of ​​the system server 18. In addition, the purchaser can set a logo mark or icon so that it is easy to recognize on the screen of the market order system of this embodiment, and these identification displays can also reduce input errors in order placement and receipt.

[0021] After completing the user registration up to this point, the market ordering system of this embodiment can register individual business partners between the order recipient and the orderer, improving the efficiency of transactions. Business partner registration is performed when a certain order recipient and an orderer recognize each other as business partners, and this status is recorded in the system, and the order placement process is carried out using information from the business partner exclusively. This setting of business partner information and the provision of individual product information for specific business partners is what makes the market ordering system of this embodiment significantly different from mail order sites that provide information to everyone.

[0022] First, regarding the method of registering a business partner, a contractor and an orderer who have registered as system users can register a business partner by mutually recognizing each other as a business partner. More specifically, a business partner registration is selected from the home screen of the market order system of this embodiment described later, and a business partner is set up. A wholesaler who is a contractor who has registered as a contractor searches among users for business partners, and sends an email to an orderer who is found in the search, if the orderer is not registered as a business partner at that time, to encourage the orderer to register as a business partner. If a wholesaler who is a contractor who has registered as a contractor cannot find a major customer by searching, the orderer can invite the major customer to become a user of the system by inputting an email address, assuming that the major customer has not yet registered as a user of the system. Conversely, a restaurant who is a orderer who has registered as a customer can search among users for business partners, and sends an email to an orderer who is found in the search, if the orderer is not registered as a business partner at that time, to encourage the orderer to register as a business partner. If a restaurant that has registered as an orderer cannot find a major client by searching for users of the system, the restaurant can treat the major client as not yet registered as a user of the system and invite the client to become a user of the system by inputting an email address.

[0023] FIG. 4 shows a supplier list screen 42 that displays a list of registered suppliers. For example, when logged in as a contractor, this screen displays a list of currently registered suppliers. For example, if a fish wholesaler already has several clients, the system is operated to import them. In the list in FIG. 4, several purchasers are listed, and among them, purchasers with a status of "registered" are registered suppliers. Below that, there is also one with a status of "inquiry pending," which indicates that an email was sent to the purchaser to encourage them to register as a supplier because they were not registered as a supplier. If the other party approves, the status will change to registered as a supplier. In the list, unregistered users are also displayed, but these are suggestions from the system, and the system itself can be used even if the user is not registered. It is assumed that the status changes from time to time, and there is an update button 42 to display the current status.

[0024] Next, input of product information to a trading partner in the market order system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5. In the market order system of this embodiment, unlike mail order, the trading partner is decided as the operation, and then product information including the price is input. For a certain product, the unit price for the trading partner, purchaser A, can be set to 5000 yen / kg, but the unit price for another trading partner, purchaser B, can be set to 6000 yen / kg. This allows a price difference to be given based on the trust from past trading experience or the size of one purchase. It is also possible to change the order slightly and input product information including the price before deciding on a trading partner, but the combination of the trading partner and the product information is important in inputting the product information, and the product information alone is not presented to the trading partner. Also, as an important point, the system is operated so that the orderer who receives the product information does not know whether other orderers have the same price for the same product. The unit price of the product information can be set to a unit such as kg or a box, and a snapshot of the product taken with a mobile device and uploaded, or a lot number, can be added to the product information.

[0025] As is clear from the product information input screen 52 for business partners shown in FIG. 5, in this example, one input screen is all for the business partner "XX Restaurant" and the input of product information constitutes one record for each product item, but information destined for the business partner "XX Restaurant" can be continuously input. In particular, the input of product information displayed here refers to past history, and past history including product name and unit price is shown by default, and input of information for each product is completed by simply entering the quantity currently being handled. For example, for XX Restaurant, which orders Hakodate tuna, Shiogama bluefin tuna, and Oarai monkfish every week or three times a week, input of product information is realized by simply entering the quantity. In the example of FIG. 5, "Hakodate tuna" is one record and "Shiogama bluefin tuna" is the next record.

[0026] To go to other clients, the user can scroll the screen or click on the breadcrumb list to change the screen. For a wholesaler, it is also important to know whether all products received through auctions or bilateral transactions have been presented to clients, i.e., whether there are any omissions. In this embodiment, the market order system inputs the total amount of products to be sold for each product, and the remaining amount can be displayed by subtracting the amount presented to the purchaser from the total amount each time product information is input. In the system, a variable is set for the amount of each product, and the total amount is input to the variable at the beginning, and the remaining amount can be displayed by subtracting the total amount each time information is presented or each time a transaction is made. Although the illustration of such remaining amount display is omitted, it is possible to add a remaining amount display on a separate screen by utilizing AJAX or a modal window, etc., so that the remaining amount can be checked while inputting product information on a mobile device screen.

[0027] Also, as a wholesaler, a buyer may be the first to handle a certain product, or may receive products that cannot be handled in the normal flow due to the season or business network, and when entering product information, for products with vague buyers, the product information can be sent to the topic box without specifying a business partner. Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen of a mobile device on the purchaser's side showing such a topic box 64. As an example, the topic box 64 may display text such as "Red sea urchins arrived at XX store," "Abalone from Sanriku arrived at XX store," etc., and there is no restriction on business partners for red sea urchins and abalone from Sanriku, making it possible to provide information to many purchasers and users.

[0028] By selecting the order start button 66 from the home screen 62 of the orderer's mobile device in FIG. 6, an order list screen 72 as shown in FIG. 7 can be displayed on the orderer's mobile device. In this order list screen 72, product information destined for ABC Store as an example of a business partner is displayed together with the names of the wholesalers YYY Store and ZZZ Store, which are the origin of the transaction. This product information includes the product name, place of origin, part, characteristics, etc., and also indicates the allocated quantity and unit price. By manipulating the allocated quantity portion, the purchase amount can be changed, and the amount on the right side can be changed accordingly. Such weight and quantity at the time of purchase can also be adjusted by the order recipient, by adjusting the numerical value entered in the quantity window 54 in FIG. 5, and can be changed even after receiving the next order information. When proceeding with the order, the orderer slides each item from the product information list on the screen of the mobile device to proceed to the order screen in FIG. 8.

[0029] The order screen 80 in Fig. 8 displays the quantity and price along with the seller information, and an order button 82 for placing an order and an order cancellation button 84 are located at the bottom of the screen. The quantity can also be increased or decreased by operating the up and down buttons 86 on the side. When the order button 82 is pressed, confirmation is requested, and the order is officially placed after confirmation. The order is cancelled if the order cancellation button 84 is operated before confirmation.

[0030] When the placing party presses the order button 82, an order confirmation screen 90 is displayed in real time on the terminal of the recipient, who is the wholesaler, and if the displayed product type, quantity, and price can be confirmed, the confirmation button 92 is pressed to officially place the order (purchased). If the wholesaler does not have enough quantity to prepare, the quantity adjustment button 94 can be pressed to inquire about placing a new order. Even if more can be prepared, the quantity adjustment button 94 can be pressed to inquire about placing a new order. Also, if the wholesaler wants to suddenly adjust the price, the price adjustment button 96 can be pressed to inquire about placing an order.

[0031] Returning to the order list screen 72 as shown in FIG. 7, the color of the purchase status button 76 on the left side changes from the background color to green, indicating that the order has been placed. Finally, by selecting the order placement button 78 at the bottom of the screen, the status of each of the current orders is updated. If the quantity or price is changed, the order may not be fulfilled due to stock availability, in which case the color of the purchase status button 76 turns orange, indicating that the order has not been completed. After the order recipient checks the stock, the color changes from orange to green. The order list screen 72 in FIG. 7 shows that ABC Store is the orderer, and 0.8 kg of bluefin tuna (belly underside) from Oma has been ordered (green) from YYY Store.

[0032] In the market order system of this embodiment, the entire flow of goods in the market is not electronic, and for example, the bidding and bilateral transactions of middle wholesalers do not function to replace the current business. This is because the emphasis is on efficiency and ease of use overall. In addition, for transactions between middle wholesalers and retailers, which is the strength of the market order system of this embodiment, the system can be configured so that the orderer side accepts orders or preliminary orders from the orderer side. For orders or preliminary orders from the orderer side, for example, a template similar to the product information input screen 52 in FIG. 5 can be opened on the orderer side, and information on the goods can be transmitted in the form of an order from the orderer side to the recipient side or a preliminary order, and after the recipient side procures the goods, the order between the orderer and the recipient can be confirmed. In this case, the product information data from the orderer can be directly used for the product information between the orderer and the recipient, and the recipient's effort in inputting the product information can be eliminated.

[0033] As explained above, selecting the order button 82 on the order screen 80 in FIG. 8 places an order, the inventory on the system is checked, and if there are no problems, a sales contract is established and the system proceeds to settlement processing. In the market order system of this embodiment, it is possible to set up an account for each user and to proceed with settlement within the system, but by linking with an external settlement server, for example, a settlement server 20 that can handle settlement processing and is owned by an institution such as a financial institution such as a bank, an electronic money company, or a credit company, it is not necessary to independently build the settlement processing part, the start-up time of the entire system can be saved, and it is also desirable from the standpoint of security. This can be realized by passing the information required at the time of settlement from the market order system of this embodiment to the linked settlement server 20.

[0034] From the settlement server, for example, a report of the settled monthly amount can be sent to the order-receiving party (Fig. 9) and the order-receiving party (Fig. 8) in the form of a file attached to an e-mail. Also, a specified URL can be attached so that the report can be viewed on the web. These reports are sorted by business partner, and are then sorted by date for display. For one product transaction, a transaction is always recorded once for the order-receiving party and once for the order-receiving party, and a monthly summary report is sent to the order-receiving party and the order-receiving party, respectively. In these previous systems, the accounting departments of each company tallied the data, prepared the remittance, and confirmed the receipt of the payment, but with the market order-receiving system of this embodiment, this has become more automated, and the burden of these administrative processes is greatly reduced.

[0035] When a relatively large company is the receiving or placing party, the receiving party and the placing party can register as users or business partners in the ordering system using multiple terminals. In other words, the receiving party and the placing party are each assigned a user ID, but each can be assigned a branch number. For example, if the receiving party's ID is 123456, a branch number such as 123456-01 can be assigned, and if there are 10 sales representatives, the branch numbers can be assigned from 01 to 10. When a branch number is assigned, for example, a monthly settlement report can be issued by user ID, and sorted by branch number for display or printing.

[0036] In the market order system of this embodiment, the order amount is determined, for example, monthly, but the order amount can be revised for each trading partner while viewing information on the determined amount. Fig. 12 shows a terminal screen 100 on the order-receiving side, which displays, for example, the total value for this month for each trading partner in a monthly tally. This terminal screen 100 is provided with discount and surcharge buttons 102 that can increase or decrease the amount to be deposited, and the transaction amount can be adjusted by pressing the discount and surcharge button 102 to increase or decrease a specified amount. In addition to the discount and surcharge button 102, buttons (not shown) for point allocation, etc. can also be provided on the terminal screen 100 to improve user convenience.

[0037] Furthermore, in the market ordering system of this embodiment, it may be necessary to send out products that have been ordered and paid for, and after payment has been completed, it is possible to use the information of the orderer and the seller to print out a slip for delivery by courier, etc., and delivery date and time specifications can be recorded in the system server in advance, or can be entered each time.

[0038] As described above, the market ordering system of this embodiment can improve the efficiency of ordering and receiving, is extremely easy to use for market participants, and can improve the efficiency of overall distribution. In addition, the market ordering system of this embodiment can complete not only ordering but also settlement from the order data, and can significantly improve the efficiency of clerical work such as sorting slips.
