Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a sales tracking method and system, and more particularly to a sales tracking method and system that can provide traceability to end consumers and the status of goods. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in logistics management methods and the development of related technologies and equipment, almost all products, from raw material sourcing, manufacturing, logistics distribution to retail distribution, can be controlled through logistics management systems. This is a powerful tool for wholesalers, retailers, and logistics companies, as it allows them to record product information such as date, time, buyer, and amount.

[0003] Generally, goods are given an outer packaging at the manufacturing stage, with the product name, product label, product barcode, etc. added to the packaging. Or, when handed over to a contract manufacturer, they are also given a special packaging for the contract manufacturer. Then, logistics companies distribute the goods to various distribution points or retail stores, and finally sell them to the general public. This is the current common logistics method.

[0004] The existing technology, Taiwan Publication No. 470901, provides a mechanism for tracking product production history, raw material sources, and distribution processes. The existing technology, Taiwan Publication No. I537846, provides a mechanism to prevent the leakage of members' personal information and consumer receipts. However, the aforementioned existing technologies do not mention a tracking mechanism after an item reaches the end consumer or a mechanism for notifying the consumer of warning information about the item. In particular, when the item is defective and needs to be retrieved, or when the item has been consumed or the packaging has been discarded, how can the record of the end consumer's purchase of the item be retrieved or confirmed? Furthermore, the issue of compensation to consumers or intermediary manufacturers due to product defects becomes even more complicated. The aforementioned existing technologies cannot solve these problems, so it is necessary to improve them. Summary of the Invention

[0039] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an embodiment of the sales tracking method of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 1 In one embodiment, the sales tracking method of the present invention includes: an information label setting step S0, providing an item packaged with an information label, wherein the information label is directly printed or pasted on the item packaging, and the information content of the information label is recorded and stored in a data server module, wherein the data server module may be a product data server system for managing and storing product information sold or shipped by the manufacturer. To facilitate different styles or types of item packaging and shipping methods, if the packaging is a box, the information label can be pasted on the box or printed directly on the box during manufacturing; the present invention is not limited to this.

[0040] Preferably, the information label is a two-dimensional barcode or a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. The information label can be selected according to the type of article or the packaging method, and the present invention does not limit it.

[0041] This embodiment uses a package of biscuits as an example. When the packaged biscuits are produced, a production batch number is assigned to each batch of biscuits based on the production date, sequence, etc. In this embodiment, the information label is a QR code (matrix QR code). Since a QR code can store more information than a traditional barcode, placing a QR code on the biscuit packaging can provide more detailed product information. The information label content includes at least: manufacturer's name, product ingredients, source of raw materials, manufacturing date, expiration date, production batch number, production quantity, or warnings. The data server module is used to process and store the information label content. The data server module allows users to record and query the information label content based on their identity category. Users include manufacturers, logistics operators, retailers, or general consumers. Recording can be performed using a barcode scanner, electronic label reader, or other electronic devices with barcode reading or electronic label reading functions. Querying can be performed using an electronic device or device with barcode scanning function, such as a barcode scanner or smartphone.

[0042] In step S1, when an item is delivered from a shipping end to a receiving end, an information tag reading and writing module scans the information tag and writes sales information and a sales code into the information tag content, updating and storing this information in the data server module. The information tag reading module can be a barcode scanner or a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader. Since the information tag can store a large amount of information recording the transaction process and item information between the two parties, it is beneficial for subsequent tracking of the item's logistics or shipping status, which can be queried by connecting the information tag to the data server module. The sales information and sales code are transaction information content and transaction sequence numbers generated by a sales server module, which is electrically connected to the information tag reading and writing module and the data server module. The sales server module can be a Point of Sales (POS) system, such as a typical POS machine, mainly set up at the shipping end to facilitate sales and purchase records during shipment.

[0043] The sales code represents the unique number of the current transaction process and can be represented by text or numbers, such as AB12345678. The sales code can be a transaction serial number or an invoice number. Therefore, during the current delivery or transaction process, when the information label is scanned by the information label reading and writing module, the sales information or the sales code is written into the information label information content and the record is updated and stored in the data server module in real time.

[0044] The sales information may include a shipment serial number, a shipping terminal code, a receiving terminal code, a sales server code, or a sales time. The shipment serial number is a product shipment number, such as 112358. The shipping and receiving codes represent the shipping and receiving terminal names, respectively, and can be represented by text or numbers, such as AX0001 and BY0002. The shipping and receiving terminal codes can be a company's unified identification number, such as 13572468. The sales server code represents the machine identification code of the sales server module and can be represented by text or numbers, such as POS11001. It can be used to identify or track which store sold the item for subsequent tracking of its flow.

[0045] In step S2, the sales code is recorded and stored in a vehicle module for subsequent tracking. This vehicle module is mounted on an electronic device or a mobile device. The vehicle module is a software system with a vehicle code for identification, enabling tracking and identification of each receiving end. Each vehicle module has a unique and distinct vehicle code, which is a combination of letters or numbers, such as W7EMA4K. When the receiving end receives the item, it uses an information tag reader / writer module electrically connected to the vehicle module to read and write electronic signals, allowing the vehicle module to record the sales code or sales information.

[0046] Furthermore, the carrier module can select different loading devices depending on the type of receiving end. If the receiving end is a manufacturer or store, the carrier module can be installed on the electronic device, which is a computer server, or directly installed in the sales server module. If the receiving end is an end consumer, the carrier module can be installed on the mobile device, which can be a smartphone. The carrier module is an application software (APP) with functions such as consumption invoices or transaction records, access and query, making it more convenient for general consumers to use. The carrier module and the smartphone are interconnected, for example, through mutual authentication via the carrier code and the smartphone's phone number, which will not be elaborated here.

[0047] In addition, to facilitate the transport of goods, multiple items can be placed inside a box, and the information label can be set on the box. When the packaging of the item itself has an information label, the information label on the box includes the information label on the packaging of the item inside the box. This makes it convenient to know the information of the item contained in the box directly from the box during inspection and inquiry. Taking the packaging of biscuits in the above embodiment as an example, the information label on the box includes the total number of boxes, box number, quantity of contents, manufacturing date, shelf life, and production batch number, etc., and all of these information label contents are recorded and stored in the data server module.

[0048] In general logistics, when an item is delivered from a shipping end to a receiving end, for example, Company A ships to Company B, or Company B sells to Customer C, the sales server module is a device on the shipping end. Therefore, the receiving end only has paper documents, which cannot provide detailed item information, generally only the supplier, product name, quantity, and amount. Therefore, this carrier module can connect to the data server module via network to query the item information, which is beneficial for understanding the item's information. Specifically, users can use this carrier module to query the item information using the sales code, such as the item's product information and whether it is registered as a defective or problematic product.

[0049] Preferably, the sales tracking method of the present invention further includes a prompt information setting step S11 (not shown). After the information tag information content update step S1 is completed or during execution, the sales tracking method further includes a prompt information setting procedure. During the transaction process, the information tag is scanned by the information tag reading and writing module, allowing the user to set a prompt information in the sales server module. The prompt information is recorded in the data server module and updated in the information tag information content. The prompt information setting step S11 allows the user to set and update the desired additional information in the data server module through the sales server module if they find a problem with the traded item or other information that needs to be added during the transaction. This method is beneficial for subsequent logistics tracking and management. Therefore, in the next transaction, the prompt information will be read and displayed when the information tag reading and writing module scans the information tag, making it convenient for the personnel handling the transaction to pay attention.

[0050] Preferably, the prompt information setting step S11 further includes a goods recycling confirmation step S111 (not shown). When an item is sold to a receiving end, if the receiving end returns the item to its upstream shipping end, the user is provided with the opportunity to set up goods recycling information in the sales server module. After the goods recycling information is set, it is recorded in the data server module and updated in the information tag information content. The goods recycling information includes the recycling time, recycling reason, and sales server code of the recycling location, which is convenient for recording subsequent inventory statistics. The sales server code can be used to identify the recycling store or manufacturer, indicating which store or manufacturer the recycled item is currently distributed or placed in.

[0051] Preferably, if the returned shipment is not the original shipment, the data server module transmits a change information to the original shipment and records it in the sales server module of the original shipment. The change information includes the return time, the reason for return, and the sales server code of the return location, so that the personnel at the original shipment can clearly know the current status of the sold item. This facilitates logistics management between the manufacturer and the seller and can also prevent duplicate returns.

[0052] In typical logistics processes, goods may pass through several intermediaries from the manufacturer to the consumer, meaning they may go through multiple shipping or receiving ends. For example, a wholesaler might be the receiving end for upstream manufacturers but also the shipping end for downstream manufacturers. When the receiving end is the general consumer, the shipping end is a supermarket, convenience store, or other general retail store. In the current logistics and consumption model, when a consumer buys an item, such as a pack of biscuits, the clerk scans the barcode on the packaging with a barcode scanner. The product name and amount will then appear on the point of sale (POS). The consumer can pay by cash, credit card, or mobile payment. The clerk will then provide a paper invoice or receipt, or upload the invoice as an electronic invoice to the user's credit card information or smartphone.

[0053] However, since traditional paper or electronic invoices only record the unified sales number, item name, quantity, amount, transaction number, etc., and the unified receiving number is added if there is a special need, consumers have limited information about the item and cannot obtain more item information. If an information label is set on the item, consumers can scan the information label with their smartphones to query the complete information of the item, or directly query the complete information of the item through the sales code through the carrier module.

[0054] Furthermore, when a batch of a product is found to be defective or the raw materials are problematic, requiring a recall, the current practice is to remove all such products from all stores or sales points to ensure they don't reach consumers. However, this may also result in the removal of identical products from batches without problems, causing significant losses. This is because the current tracking systems used in logistics cannot fully track specific production batches, and once a defective product is purchased by a consumer, it becomes even more difficult to trace. If the product has already been consumed, the packaging has been discarded, or the invoice is lost, consumers will have no basis for compensation later. Stores, due to the comprehensive removal or recall, may also experience returns of products without problems, and there may be instances where an item is returned twice, such as once for the invoice and once for the packaging. Moreover, even products without problems may be returned, causing significant losses, because traditional invoices and barcodes cannot provide accurate and correct product information.

[0055] Figure 2 For another embodiment of the sales tracking method of the present invention, please refer to the flowchart. Figure 2 Preferably, the sales tracking method of the present invention further includes a warning information notification step S31. To solve the above problems, preferably, after the vehicle recording and storage step S2, the sales tracking method also provides a warning information notification program. When there is a warning information to be sent for the item, the warning information notification program sends the warning information from a transmitting end to a receiving end via a network. The transmitting end is the data server module or the sales server module, and the receiving end is the sales server module or the vehicle module. When important information about an item needs to be communicated to upstream, midstream, and downstream manufacturers or consumers—for example, when a batch of raw materials for an item becomes defective and needs to be recalled—the data server module records detailed information about each item, including manufacturer, raw materials, production date, batch number, and logistics information. Therefore, the warning information is sent through the data server module or the sales server module. This warning information includes a warning description, shipping end codes, and receiving end codes. Preferably, it may also include the sales code, sales server code, or vehicle code. The warning information is transmitted to the corresponding shipping and receiving ends based on the included sales code, sales server code, or vehicle code. Therefore, manufacturers, retailers, or end consumers who have received the defective item will receive this warning information. Manufacturers or retailers can learn about it through the vehicle module on their smartphones or other mobile devices, and end consumers can also learn about it through the vehicle module on their smartphones or other mobile devices.

[0056] Furthermore, because each stage of the defective item's journey—from production and manufacturing to logistics and distribution, and then to retail stores and finally to consumers—is recorded in both the data server module and the sales server module, and because the carrier module is unique, when some consumers purchase the same item, only those who actually bought the defective item will receive the alert. In other words, from production and manufacturing to logistics, retail, and finally to the end consumer, all sales information and sales codes generated at each stage of the defective item's transaction process are recorded in the data server module or separately in each of the sales server modules or the carrier module. Therefore, the flow of the defective item can be easily tracked.

[0057] For example: A store receives two batches of the same items, batch A and batch B. However, batch A has defects. Consumer A buys batch A, and consumer B buys batch B. In this case, the store's sales server code and sales code, as well as consumer A's vehicle code, will be marked with a warning. Therefore, the warning message will only be sent to the store's sales server module and consumer A's vehicle module, and consumer B will not receive it.

[0058] Therefore, Consumer A can use the warning information as proof of claim without worrying about not being able to claim compensation from the store or manufacturer due to the lack of product packaging or the loss of the paper invoice. The manufacturer or store can also use the warning information to make corresponding returns or compensation without worrying about unnecessary returns and compensation. For example, Consumer B may have bought the same item, but it cannot be returned or exchanged if it is not a defective product. This can protect the rights and interests of both the buyer and the seller.

[0059] Figure 3 For another embodiment of the sales tracking method of the present invention, please refer to the flowchart. Figure 3 Preferably, the sales tracking method of the present invention further includes an item information tracing step 32. Preferably, after the vehicle recording and storage step S2, the sales tracking method further provides an item information tracing procedure. When a user scans the item's information tag using a mobile device, the system connects to the data server module or the sales server module via a network and displays the item information for the user to view. After the data server module or the sales server module records and stores the updated information of the item, the consumer can scan the item's information tag using a mobile device such as a smartphone, employing the information tag scanning function on the mobile device to view the latest information about the item.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a system architecture diagram of an embodiment of the sales tracking system of the present invention. Please refer to it. Figure 4In one embodiment, the sales tracking system of the present invention includes: an information label 10, a data server module 20, an information label reading and writing module 30, a sales server module 40, and a carrier module 50. The information label 10 is used for users to read information content of the information label. The information label is directly printed or pasted on a product packaging. The information label 10 can be a two-dimensional barcode or a radio frequency identification tag (RFID tag). The two-dimensional barcode is, for example, a QR code.

[0061] The data server module 20 is used to store the information label information content TC. The data server module 20 can be a product data server system used to manage and store product information sold or shipped by the manufacturer. The product data server system can be cloud-based or a physical device. The information label information content TC includes product name, manufacturer, raw material composition, manufacturing date, expiration date, production batch number, storage method, logistics provider, etc., for tracking and query purposes.

[0062] The information label reading and writing module 30 is used to access the information content TC of the information label and update and store the information content TC of the information label in the data server module 10. The information label reading module 30 can be a barcode scanner or a radio frequency identification reader (RFID reader). The information label 10 is set on a product packaging. Preferably, the information label 10 is directly printed or pasted on the product packaging. The information label 10 can be set by different methods according to the style, type or packaging method of the product.

[0063] A sales server module 40 is electrically connected to the information label read / write module 30. When the information label read / write module 30 scans the information label 10, it generates sales information and a sales code, records the sales information and the sales code in the information label information content TC, and stores it in the data server module 20. The sales server module can be a point-of-sale (POS) system, primarily located at the shipping end to facilitate sales records during shipment. Therefore, during the current delivery or transaction process, when the information label read / write module 30 scans the information label 10, it simultaneously writes the sales information or the sales code into the information label information content TC and updates the record stored in the data server module 20.

[0064] The vehicle module 50 has a vehicle code, which is used for identification of the vehicle module 50. The vehicle module 50 is electrically connected to the sales server module 40 or the data server module 20 to store sales information and the sales code. The vehicle module 50 is a software system installed on an electronic device or a mobile device. The vehicle code can be used to identify the vehicle module 50, thereby tracking and identifying each receiving end. Each vehicle module 50 has... Each vehicle has a unique code, which is a combination of text or numbers. When the receiving end receives the item, the information tag reading and writing module 30 is electrically connected to the vehicle module 50 to read and write electronic signals, so that the vehicle module 50 records the sales code or the sales information. The sales code may be a transaction serial number or invoice number, and the sales information may include a shipment serial number, a shipping end code, a receiving end code, a sales server code, or a sales time.

[0065] The carrier module 50 can be equipped with different loading devices depending on the type of receiving end. If the receiving end is a manufacturer or store, the carrier module 50 can be installed on an electronic device, such as a computer server, electronic checkout machine, or POS machine. If the receiving end is an end consumer, the carrier module 50 can be installed on a mobile device, such as a smartphone. The carrier module 50 is an application software (APP) with functions for storing, retrieving, and querying consumer invoices or transaction records. The information in the carrier module 50 can also be stored on a cloud device and accessed via a wireless network, making it more convenient for consumers to use.

[0066] In one embodiment, preferably, the sales tracking system further includes an alert information sending module 60 (not shown), which is used to send an alert information to the sales server module 40 or the carrier module 50. The alert information sending module 60 may be located in the data server module 20 or the sales server module 40. When there is an alert information to be sent for an item, the alert information sending module 60 sends the alert information to a receiving end via a network from a transmitting end to a receiving end. The transmitting end is the data server module 20 or the sales server module 40, and the receiving end is the sales server module 40 or the carrier module 50. For example, the data server module 20 transmits the alert information to the sales server module 40 and the carrier module 50, or the sales server module 40 transmits it to the carrier module 50, thereby notifying manufacturers, retailers or consumers.

[0067] When there is important information about an item that needs to be communicated to upstream, midstream, and downstream manufacturers or consumers, such as when a batch of raw materials for an item becomes defective and needs to be recalled, the data server module 20 records detailed information about each item, including production date, batch number, and quantity. Therefore, the data server module 20 or the sales server module 40 can send out a warning message. This warning message includes a warning description, codes for each shipping end, and codes for each receiving end. As a result, manufacturers or retailers who have received the defective item will receive this warning message, and end consumers can also learn about it through the carrier module 50 on their smartphones.

[0068] Furthermore, the alert information can include the sales code, the sales server code, or the vehicle code. Since both the sales code and the vehicle code are unique codes, and the sales code is only stored in the vehicle module represented by the vehicle code, consumers can use the alert information as proof of claim without worrying about not being able to claim compensation from the store or manufacturer due to missing item packaging or lost paper invoices. Manufacturers or stores can also use the alert information to make corresponding returns or compensations without worrying about unnecessary returns and compensations. This can protect the rights and interests of both buyers and sellers. In addition, the sales server code can also be used to know which manufacturer or store sold the item, which can improve the efficiency of item tracking and recycling.

[0069] In one embodiment, preferably, the sales server module 40 further includes a prompt information setting unit 41 (not shown). This prompt information setting unit 41 allows the user to set a prompt message, which is recorded in the data server module 20 and updated in the information label information content TC. If the user discovers a problem with the traded item or other information requiring additional recording during a transaction, they can use the prompt information setting unit 41 to set and update the desired additional information in the data server module 20 through the sales server module 40. Therefore, during the next transaction, the prompt message will be read and displayed when the information label read / write module 30 scans the information label 10.

[0070] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of the technical ideas and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
