[0017] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. Through the description of the specific implementation methods, the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose can be more deeply and specifically understood. However, the drawings are only for reference and explanation purposes and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0018] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0019] Figure 1 The figure is a flow chart of a quotation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the quotation method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S11: Obtain a purchase inquiry form.

[0021] Specifically, the purchase inquiry form sent by the cargo owner via a mobile terminal or a web page is obtained.

[0022] Specifically, the process after step S11 includes identifying the purchase inquiry form, and matching suppliers for the purchase inquiry form according to the identification result of the purchase inquiry form and the supplier information.

[0023] Specifically, identifying the purchase inquiry includes identifying one or more of the cargo type, cargo size, cargo weight, mode of transportation (for example, sea transportation, air transportation, road transportation, and required transportation vehicle, etc.), place of departure, destination, pick-up time, delivery time, packaging requirements, transportation qualification requirements, insurance requirements, transportation experience requirements, payment method, tax document requirements, special requirements (for example, two people following the vehicle, required transportation route, cargo needs to be protected from the sun, security escort is required, etc.) in the purchase inquiry.

[0024] In another embodiment, the requirements in the purchase inquiry include main requirements and downgraded requirements. For example, the main requirement for delivery time is 12:00 on October 10, 2024, and the downgraded requirement for delivery time is 12:00 on October 12, 2024.

[0025] In another embodiment, the purchase request for quotation includes a plurality of degradable requirements.

[0026] Specifically, according to the identification results and supplier information of the purchase inquiry, matching suppliers for the purchase inquiry includes matching suppliers that meet all requirements for the purchase inquiry based on supplier information stored in local storage or cloud storage, and / or supplier information publicly disclosed by the supplier on the Internet, and / or supplier information in an official database. When a supplier that meets all requirements is matched for the purchase inquiry, information about the supplier that meets the requirements is fed back to the consignor; when the purchase inquiry fails to match a supplier that meets the requirements, a prompt message that the purchase inquiry matching failed is fed back to the consignor.

[0027] In another embodiment, matching suppliers for the purchase inquiry form according to the identification result of the purchase inquiry form and the supplier information includes matching suppliers that meet all major requirements for the purchase inquiry form, and when the number of suppliers that meet all major requirements matched to the purchase inquiry form is less than a preset number (for example, the number is less than 1, or the number is less than 5), one or more major requirements in the purchase inquiry form are replaced with downgradable requirements in sequence, and then matching suppliers that meet all major requirements and / or downgradable requirements for the purchase inquiry form (for example, major requirements for items 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the purchase inquiry form are 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A, respectively, and downgradable requirements for items 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the purchase inquiry form are 1B, none, 3B, and 4B, respectively; in the case of suppliers that meet 1A, When the number of suppliers of 2A, 3A, and 4A is less than 1, first match the qualified suppliers according to 1B, 2A, 3A, and 4A, then match the qualified suppliers according to 1A, 2A, 3B, and 4A, then match the qualified suppliers according to 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4B, then match the qualified suppliers according to 1B, 2A, 3B, and 4A...match the qualified suppliers according to 1B, 2A, 3B, and 4B. After any supplier is matched to meet the requirements, the subsequent matching objects will no longer include the supplier, that is, the results of multiple matching will not have duplicate suppliers); when the number of suppliers that meet all the main requirements matched in the purchase inquiry is not less than the preset number, the information of suppliers that meet all the main requirements will be fed back to the owner.

[0028] Specifically, after replacing one or more main requirements in a purchase inquiry with downgradable requirements in sequence, when a supplier that meets all the main requirements and / or downgradable requirements is matched for the purchase inquiry, information about the supplier that meets all the main requirements and / or downgradable requirements is fed back to the consignor; after replacing one or more main requirements in a purchase inquiry with downgradable requirements in sequence, when a supplier that meets all the main requirements and / or downgradable requirements is not matched for the purchase inquiry, a prompt message indicating that the purchase inquiry has failed to match is fed back to the consignor.

[0029] In another embodiment, after replacing one or more main requirements in the purchase inquiry with any downgradable requirements in turn, a supplier that meets all the main requirements and / or downgradable requirements is matched for the purchase inquiry.

[0030] In another embodiment, the supplier information obtained through the network and / or the official database is stored in a local storage or a cloud storage.

[0031] In another embodiment, the supplier information in the local storage or cloud storage is updated according to the supplier information obtained from the network and / or the official database.

[0032] Step S12: Sending a quotation inquiry email containing a quotation link to at least one supplier matching the purchase quotation inquiry; wherein the quotation links corresponding to different suppliers are different.

[0033] Specifically, a quotation link is generated for each matched supplier, which is only for the corresponding supplier to quote the corresponding purchase inquiry (for example, a quotation link is generated only for supplier No. 1 to quote purchase inquiry A, and the quotation link cannot change the quoting supplier to other suppliers, nor can the purchase inquiry for quotation be changed to other purchase inquiry), and a corresponding inquiry email is sent to at least one matched supplier, and the inquiry email contains the quotation link corresponding to the receiving supplier.

[0034] In another embodiment, the quote link is encrypted.

[0035] In another embodiment, the query parameter of the quotation link is encrypted using a symmetric encryption algorithm.

[0036] Step S13: when it is detected that the target quotation link is accessed, a token is generated based on the target supplier and the purchase inquiry form; the target supplier is the supplier corresponding to the target quotation link.

[0037] Specifically, when it is detected that the target quotation link is accessed, a token is generated based on the purchase inquiry form and supplier corresponding to the target quotation link. Through the generated token, it can be known which supplier is quoting for which purchase inquiry form, and it can also be known which quotation link the token corresponds to. This means that the supplier does not need to log in to the target quotation link, and this application can also confirm which supplier is quoting for which purchase quotation form through the token corresponding to the target quotation link.

[0038] In another embodiment, the token is generated by Java technology.

[0039] In another embodiment, when it is detected that the target quotation link is accessed, the encrypted quotation link is decrypted.

[0040] Step S14: After obtaining the quotation information fed back through the target quotation link, the quotation information is bound to the token.

[0041] Specifically, when the quotation information fed back by the target quotation link is received, the token corresponding to the target quotation link is bound to the quotation information fed back by the target quotation link to achieve automatic matching of the quotation information with the purchase inquiry form.

[0042] In another embodiment, when the interval between the time when the quotation information of the target quotation link is obtained and the generation time of the token is less than a preset duration, the token corresponding to the target quotation link is bound to the quotation information fed back by the target quotation link; when the interval between the time when the quotation information of the target quotation link is obtained and the generation time of the token is not less than a preset duration, a prompt message of quotation timeout is sent to the target quotation link.

[0043] In another embodiment, when the interval between the time of obtaining the quotation information of the target quotation link and the generation time of the token is not less than a preset time, a prompt message of the quotation timeout is sent to the target quotation link, and the quotation deadline of the purchase quotation corresponding to the target quotation link is obtained, and it is determined whether the time difference between the current time and the quotation deadline is less than a first preset time; if the time difference between the current time and the quotation deadline is not less than the first preset time, a quotation link is regenerated for the target supplier only to quote the corresponding purchase inquiry, and an inquiry email is sent to the target supplier, and the target supplier is the supplier corresponding to the target quotation link.

[0044] In another embodiment, when the interval between the time of obtaining the quotation information of the target quotation link and the generation time of the token is not less than a preset duration, it is determined whether the time difference between the current time and the quotation deadline is less than a second preset time. If so, the quotation information is invalidated, and a prompt message of quotation timeout is fed back to the target quotation link.

[0045] After step S14, based on the token bound to the quotation information, the purchase inquiry corresponding to the quotation information is confirmed, the quotation deadline of the purchase inquiry is obtained, and the quotation information is time-locked and stored according to the quotation deadline of the purchase inquiry, and the quotation information after time locking is prohibited from being accessed before the corresponding quotation deadline. This not only facilitates the unified management of quotation information by the owner, but also prevents the staff from knowing the supply quotation in advance and the quotation information from being leaked.

[0046] Step S14 includes, specifically, after the quotation deadline of the purchase inquiry, the quotation information corresponding to the purchase inquiry will be unlocked; after the quotation information is unlocked, the purchase quotation and supplier corresponding to the quotation information are confirmed according to the token bound to the quotation information; and price comparison review information is generated based on the purchase quotation and supplier corresponding to the quotation information and the quotation information.

[0047] The quotation method provided by the present invention obtains the purchase inquiry form sent by the cargo owner, sends an inquiry email containing a corresponding quotation link to at least one supplier matching the purchase inquiry form, generates a token based on the supplier corresponding to the target quotation link and the purchase inquiry form when detecting that the target quotation link is accessed, and binds the quotation information to the token after obtaining the quotation information fed back through the target quotation link. Binding the quotation information to the token based on the token generated by the supplier and the purchase inquiry form can facilitate the subsequent determination of the supplier and the purchase inquiry form corresponding to the quotation information, and allow the supplier to quote the purchase inquiry form without logging in. The present application can also automatically match the supplier's quotation with the purchase inquiry form, and store the quotation information after time locking, which can reduce the labor cost of quotation inquiry, improve the convenience, confidentiality, fairness and user experience of quotation, and make the quotation process more in line with the usage habits of overseas logistics service providers.
