Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of data processing technology, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for matching vehicles with orders. Background Art

[0002] As consumers' demands for personalization increase, automobile manufacturers provide more customization options. These customized production processes require extra time to arrange and execute. Therefore, consumers need to place an order first. After the consumers place the order, the corresponding vehicles will be matched to the consumers based on the order.

[0003] Currently, staff members learn about consumers’ specific needs through retail orders, and the sales or logistics department inquires about the current inventory to see if there are ready-made vehicles to meet the retail order needs. When there are no ready-made vehicles available, they evaluate whether there is enough time to wait for new vehicles or whether consumers’ needs can be adjusted to match the existing inventory. As sales strategies change, staff members need to adjust the database that needs to be queried for vehicle allocation in a timely manner. However, due to the large number of retail orders and the inability to flexibly change the vehicle database that needs to be queried after the sales strategy changes, the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders is ultimately low.

[0004] The above contents are only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the present application and do not constitute an admission that the above contents are prior art. Summary of the invention

[0010] Determine the first unassigned order with the highest priority from the retail orders according to the processing order;

[0011] Based on the pre-configured vehicle screening rules, determining a preferred vehicle library that needs to be allocated a vehicle for the first unallocated vehicle order;

[0012] A target vehicle corresponding to the order requirement of the first unassigned vehicle order is matched from the preferred vehicle library, and the target vehicle is in a waiting-to-match state.

[0013] In one embodiment, the step of matching a target vehicle corresponding to the order requirement of the first unassigned vehicle order from the preferred vehicle library includes:

[0014] Selecting vehicles to be matched whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched status from the preferred vehicle library;

[0015] Selecting a set of vehicles that meet the order requirements of the first unallocated vehicle order from the vehicles to be allocated;

[0016] Based on the vehicle sorting rules pre-selected according to the sales strategy, the set of eligible vehicles is prioritized, and the vehicle with the highest priority is determined as the target vehicle corresponding to the order demand.

[0017] In one embodiment, the step of selecting the to-be-matched vehicles whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched status from the preferred vehicle library comprises:

[0018] If there is no vehicle whose vehicle status is the to-be-matched status in the preferred vehicle library, then the vehicle status of each vehicle in the deferred vehicle library is read based on the vehicle screening rule, and the deferred vehicle library is a vehicle library with a lower priority than the preferred vehicle library after being sorted based on the vehicle screening rule;

[0019] The vehicles to be matched whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched status are screened from the deferred vehicle library.

[0020] In one embodiment, after the step of matching the target vehicle corresponding to the order requirement of the first unassigned vehicle order from the preferred vehicle library, the step further includes:

[0021] After matching the target vehicle for the first unassigned vehicle order, marking the first unassigned vehicle order as an assigned vehicle order, and updating the first unassigned vehicle order with the highest priority among the retail orders based on the processing order.

[0022] In one embodiment, the order processing rules include order screening rules and order sorting rules. The steps of prioritizing the received retail orders of vehicles based on the pre-configured order processing rules and determining the processing order of the retail orders include:

[0023] Based on the pre-configured order screening rules, the received retail orders are screened for pending orders with an order status of waiting for vehicle allocation or reserved;

[0024] Based on the order sorting rule, determining the priority of each of the pending orders;

[0025] The pending orders are sorted based on the priorities to determine a processing order for the pending orders.

[0026] In addition, to achieve the above purpose, the present application also proposes a device for matching vehicles with orders, and the device for matching vehicles with orders includes:

[0032] One or more technical solutions proposed in this application have at least the following technical effects:

[0033] Since the sales strategies of various vehicle stores are different, the present application needs to change the sorting of orders after obtaining the orders according to the changes in the sales strategies. Therefore, the corresponding order processing rules are pre-set according to the sales strategies to adapt to the actual sales situation of the store, and the received retail orders are prioritized according to the order processing rules to obtain the processing order of each order to avoid sales staff jumping the queue for various reasons. Then, according to the order processing order, the retail orders are matched with vehicles in turn. When matching vehicles for retail orders, vehicles are matched for retail orders from the corresponding vehicle library according to the vehicle screening rules. Since the vehicle screening rules are pre-configured according to the sales strategies, when the sales strategies change, the staff only needs to modify the vehicle screening rules to automatically change the vehicle library to be queried according to the modified vehicle screening rules, and screen the target vehicles corresponding to the retail orders from the corresponding vehicle library, so that the sales strategies can be flexibly adapted to the changes in sales strategies when matching vehicles for retail orders, thereby improving the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0043] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0044] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0045] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: after receiving the retail order of the vehicle, the order processing platform prioritizes the received retail order of the vehicle based on the pre-configured order processing rules, and determines the processing order of the retail orders, and the order processing rules are configured according to the sales strategy; according to the processing order, the target vehicle is matched in turn for each retail order from the vehicle library corresponding to the pre-configured vehicle screening rules, and the vehicle screening rules are configured according to the sales strategy.

[0046] In this embodiment, for ease of description, the following description is made with the order processing platform as the execution entity.

[0047] In the prior art, staff members learn about the specific needs of consumers through retail orders, and the sales or logistics department inquires about the current inventory to see if there are ready-made vehicles that can meet the needs of retail orders. When there are no ready-made vehicles available, it is evaluated whether there is enough time to wait for new vehicles or whether the needs of consumers can be adjusted to match the existing inventory. As sales strategies change, staff members need to adjust the database that needs to be queried for vehicle allocation in a timely manner. However, due to the excessive number of retail orders and the inability to flexibly change the vehicle database that needs to be queried after the sales strategy changes, the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders is ultimately low.

[0048] The present application provides a solution. Since the sales strategies of various vehicle stores are different, the order sorting after obtaining the order also needs to be changed according to the change of the sales strategy. Therefore, the corresponding order processing rules are pre-set according to the sales strategy to adapt to the actual sales situation of the store, and the received retail orders are prioritized according to the order processing rules to obtain the processing order of each order to avoid sales staff jumping the queue for various reasons. Then, according to the order processing order, the retail orders are matched with vehicles in turn. When matching vehicles for retail orders, vehicles are matched for retail orders from the corresponding vehicle library according to the vehicle screening rules. Since the vehicle screening rules are pre-configured according to the sales strategy, when the sales strategy changes, the staff only needs to modify the vehicle screening rules to automatically change the vehicle library to be queried according to the modified vehicle screening rules, and screen the target vehicle corresponding to the retail order from the corresponding vehicle library, so that the sales strategy can be flexibly adapted to the changes in sales strategy when matching vehicles for retail orders, thereby improving the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0049] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, an order processing platform, etc. The following takes the order processing platform as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0050] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for matching vehicles for orders, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the method for matching vehicles with orders in the present application.

[0051] In this embodiment, the method for matching vehicles to an order includes steps S10 to S20:

[0052] Step S10, prioritizing the received retail orders of vehicles based on pre-configured order processing rules to determine the processing order of the retail orders, wherein the order processing rules are configured according to the sales strategy;

[0053] It should be noted that the order processing rules may include order screening rules and order sorting rules, wherein the order screening rules may be rules for screening orders according to a specified time period, or rules for screening orders according to a specified field range, etc. The order sorting rules may be rules for sorting according to the order time or the order time, or rules for sorting according to a specified field, etc. A retail order may be a formal purchase request generated when a consumer purchases a vehicle. The sales strategy may be a sales plan that each sales outlet adjusts in a targeted manner according to the actual sales situation and the company's overall sales plan, that is, the sales strategies of each sales outlet may be different.

[0054] For example, sales strategies may include the types of customers that are given priority, the batches of vehicles that are given priority for sale, the vehicle pools that are given priority for stock transfers, the vehicle models that are given priority for sale, and the payment methods that are given priority support by each store based on local car purchasing strategies.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that the specified time period can be any defined time period, such as the last month, the last three months, the last 10 days, etc., which is determined according to the sales strategy of each sales outlet. The specified field range can be a field that represents special circumstances, such as a field that represents a special period for holding an event, a field for a certain enterprise, or a field for member customers of each sales outlet. The order time can be the time when the consumer submits the intention to purchase a car to the dealer or manufacturer and pays the advance payment (also known as the small deposit). This is the beginning of the car purchase process, indicating that the consumer has the intention to purchase a certain vehicle. The big deposit time can be when the consumer determines the specific model configuration, color and other information, signs a formal car purchase agreement with the seller, and pays a deposit (big deposit) of usually a large amount. This means that the car purchase contract between the two parties is formally established, and both the consumer and the car dealer are bound by the terms of the contract.

[0056] It is understandable that due to the different sales strategies of various sales outlets, the order of processing retail orders is also different. In order to ensure that the received retail orders of vehicles can be processed in an orderly manner according to the sales strategies, step S10 is required to automatically sort the orders. This can prevent store employees from jumping the queue for the retail orders they are responsible for in order to achieve more sales, thereby avoiding delays in some retail orders and improving the efficiency of processing retail orders.

[0057] It is understandable that when store employees process retail orders, sales strategies may be modified, resulting in changes in order processing rules. However, the retail orders involved in the order processing rules may only be a part of the currently unprocessed orders, and the other part needs to continue to be processed according to the original order processing rules. That is, when the sales strategy changes, the workload and complexity of the store employees may increase, thereby reducing the efficiency of store employees in processing retail orders. Therefore, by automatically processing retail orders according to the order processing rules through the order processing platform, it is possible to flexibly adapt to sales strategies and improve the efficiency of retail order processing.

[0058] Furthermore, configuring the order processing rules according to the sales strategy may be: configuring the order processing rules according to the sales strategy with a high priority of car allocation and a large order time sequence, an order placement time sequence, and a large order placement time sequence.

[0059] Specifically, if the sales strategy determines the order processing order based on the customer's membership level, customer type, and the amount of revenue that can be brought to the store, the orders of customers with the highest membership level and the highest revenue will be processed first according to the order receiving time, and the orders of ordinary customers will be processed last. For example, customer A's customer type is enterprise and the membership level is the highest, customer B's customer type is individual and the membership level is also the highest, customer C's customer type is enterprise and the membership level is not the highest, and customer A, customer B, and customer C place orders on the same day. Since customer A will bring the greatest revenue to the store, customer A's order will be processed first, and then the revenue that customer B and customer C can bring to the store will be determined. If the revenue that customer C brings to the store is greater than that of customer B, customer C's order processing order will be ranked second, and customer B's order will be processed last. The order can also be fine-tuned in combination with the vehicle models that are sold first.

[0060] Step S20, according to the processing sequence, matching target vehicles for each of the retail orders in turn from a vehicle library corresponding to a pre-configured vehicle screening rule, wherein the vehicle screening rule is configured according to the sales strategy.

[0061] It should be noted that the vehicle screening rule can be the basis for selecting vehicles with the same parameters configured according to the sales strategy; the vehicle screening rule can be determined by each sales outlet according to the sales strategy. The vehicle library can be a database of warehouses storing vehicles in various regions or a database of vehicles that can be manufactured by processing factories in various regions, etc.; the vehicle library is a database of warehouses that need to match vehicles for retail orders determined according to the vehicle screening rule. The target vehicle can be a vehicle matched for a retail order.

[0062] It is understandable that, since the number of vehicles that can be stored in warehouses in different regions is different, and the speed of selling vehicles is also different, in order to give priority to selling vehicles with earlier production dates among the existing vehicles in each warehouse, reduce the maintenance cost of these vehicles in the warehouse, or match vehicles for retail orders according to the vehicle manufacturing batch specified by the customer, it is necessary to determine vehicle screening rules according to specific sales strategies, determine the vehicle library that provides vehicles for retail orders, so as to achieve automatic matching of vehicles for retail orders to meet the sales strategies;

[0063] It is understandable that in order to check the vehicles that adapt to the sales strategy from the databases of warehouses in various regions, it is necessary to check the databases of each warehouse one by one and compare the data between the databases to query the vehicles that meet the order requirements in the retail orders. However, if store employees search the databases of various warehouses one by one for vehicles that meet the order requirements in the retail orders, the matching will be too complicated, thereby reducing the matching efficiency of vehicles for retail orders. Therefore, by performing step S20, a series of vehicle allocation rules can be set to systematize the complicated manual vehicle allocation system, liberate the mechanical operation of the business, improve work efficiency, shorten the vehicle allocation cycle, and thus improve the matching efficiency of vehicles for retail orders.

[0064] Furthermore, the vehicle screening rules can be configured according to the sales strategy: if the sales strategy is to give priority to vehicles in the vehicle library, then when configuring the vehicle screening rules, the vehicles corresponding to the order can be retrieved from the vehicle library with a high shipping priority level according to the shipping priority level of the vehicle library. If the vehicle library does not have the vehicle model corresponding to the current order, the processing workshops can also be sorted according to the order volume of the processing workshop and the distance from the store corresponding to the current order.

[0065] The present embodiment provides a method for matching vehicles for orders. Since the sales strategies of various vehicle stores are different, the order sorting after obtaining the orders also needs to be changed according to the changes in the sales strategies. Therefore, the corresponding order processing rules are pre-set according to the sales strategies to adapt to the actual sales situation of the store, and the received retail orders are prioritized according to the order processing rules to obtain the processing order of each order to avoid sales staff jumping the queue for various reasons. Then, according to the order processing order, the retail orders are matched with vehicles in turn. When matching vehicles for retail orders, vehicles are preferentially matched from the corresponding vehicle library according to the vehicle screening rules. Since the vehicle screening rules are pre-configured according to the sales strategies, when the sales strategies change, the staff only needs to modify the vehicle screening rules to automatically change the vehicle library to be queried according to the modified vehicle screening rules, and screen the target vehicle corresponding to the retail order from the corresponding vehicle library, so that the sales strategies can be flexibly adapted to the changes in sales strategies when matching vehicles for retail orders, thereby improving the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0066] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 2 , step S20 includes steps S01 to S03:

[0067] Step S01, determining the first unassigned order with the highest priority from the retail orders according to the processing order;

[0068] It should be noted that the highest priority can be determined according to the currently configured order sorting rules. The first unassigned vehicle order can be the retail order ranked first or the retail order ranked last after the orders of unmatched vehicles are sorted according to the order sorting rules; that is, if the order is arranged in reverse order in the order sorting rules, the retail order with the highest priority is the retail order ranked last, so at this time, the retail order ranked last needs to be determined as the first unassigned vehicle order.

[0069] It can be understood that preferentially processing the first vehicle allocation order with the highest priority can promptly process orders that have been delayed for a long time, or retail orders from special consumers (customers), and match vehicles to retail orders according to the processing order to achieve orderly processing of retail orders, avoiding the phenomenon of order jumping in line, and then each retail order can be processed in a planned manner according to the sales strategy, avoiding the long detention time of retail orders, thereby improving the processing efficiency of each retail order.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the order sorting rule may be the order time, and the processing sorting is determined according to the order time. That is, the earlier the order time, the higher the priority. In order to allow consumers who have placed an order and have signed a formal car purchase contract to pick up the car as soon as possible, the retail order with an early order time and which has not been allocated a car for the consumer may be determined as the first unallocated order with the highest priority, so as to preferentially match the vehicle for the first unallocated order according to the vehicle screening rules.

[0071] Step S02, based on the pre-configured vehicle screening rules, determining a preferred vehicle library that needs to be allocated a vehicle for the first unallocated vehicle order;

[0072] It should be noted that the preferred vehicle library may be a vehicle library that is determined according to the vehicle data screening rule to preferentially match vehicles for each retail order. After matching and locking the vehicle for the first unassigned vehicle order, the first unassigned vehicle order may be marked as an assigned vehicle order, and the first unassigned vehicle order may be updated in the processing order.

[0073] It is understandable that since warehouses in some areas need to prepare warehouses for the earliest vehicles, the existing vehicles in the warehouse need to be matched with retail orders first. Therefore, it is necessary to use vehicle screening rules to determine the preferred garage for matching vehicles for retail orders first, so that when matching vehicles for retail orders, the sales strategy can be met, that is, when matching vehicles for retail orders, the sales strategy of the sales store or company can be met.

[0074] It is understandable that since the order requirements of each retail order are different, the preferred vehicle library corresponding to the vehicle screening rules may also be different. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the preferred vehicle library for each first unallocated order based on the vehicle screening rules, so as to flexibly switch the corresponding preferred vehicle library according to the order requirements of each retail order while satisfying the sales strategy.

[0075] For example, the current first unallocated vehicle order requires a model a vehicle, and model a vehicles are mainly concentrated in warehouses in area A. A small number of model a vehicles need to be stored in warehouses in area B, and the sales strategy indicates that vehicles in warehouses in area B need to be cleared first. Then, according to the vehicle screening rules, it can be determined that the preferred vehicle warehouse for the current first unallocated vehicle order is the warehouse in area B. After matching and locking the vehicle for the current first unallocated vehicle order, the first unallocated vehicle order is marked as an allocated vehicle order, and then the unallocated vehicle order with the highest priority is updated as the first unallocated vehicle order according to the processing order. If the updated first unallocated vehicle order requires a model d vehicle, the model d outbound rate in the warehouse in area A is relatively low, and there is no model d vehicle in the warehouse in area B, then according to the vehicle screening rules, it can be determined that the preferred vehicle warehouse for the updated first unallocated vehicle order is the warehouse in area A.

[0076] Step S03: matching a target vehicle corresponding to the order requirement of the first unassigned vehicle order from the preferred vehicle library, wherein the target vehicle is in a waiting-to-match state.

[0077] It should be noted that the pending matching state may be a vehicle that has not been matched, or a vehicle that has been matched but not locked. The vehicle may be a vehicle that has been manufactured and stored offline, or a vehicle that is being manufactured and has not been offline.

[0078] It is understandable that since there are multiple vehicles in the preferred vehicle library that meet the requirements of the first unallocated vehicle order, in order to match the sales strategy for the vehicles in the first unallocated vehicle order, it is necessary to screen the vehicles in the preferred vehicle library and select target vehicles that meet both the sales strategy and the requirements of the first unmatched vehicle order, that is, to meet both the needs of consumers and the company's sales needs.

[0079] Optionally, after the step of matching the target vehicle corresponding to the order requirement of the first unassigned vehicle order from the preferred vehicle library, the step further includes:

[0080] After matching the target vehicle for the first unassigned vehicle order, marking the first unassigned vehicle order as an assigned vehicle order, and updating the first unassigned vehicle order with the highest priority among the retail orders based on the processing order.

[0081] It is understandable that in order to process retail orders flexibly and efficiently so that the processing of each retail order can comply with the sales strategy, after matching the target vehicle for the current first unallocated order, in order to avoid repeated allocation of vehicles for the retail order, resulting in reduced allocation efficiency, it is necessary to mark the first unallocated order after matching the target vehicle as an allocated order, delete the first unallocated order from the queue of retail orders, and update the first unallocated order with the highest priority to automatically match vehicles for all retail orders.

[0082] Furthermore, the step S03 further includes:

[0083] Selecting vehicles to be matched whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched status from the preferred vehicle library;

[0084] Selecting a set of vehicles that meet the order requirements of the first unallocated vehicle order from the vehicles to be allocated;

[0085] Based on the vehicle sorting rules pre-selected according to the sales strategy, the set of eligible vehicles is prioritized, and the vehicle with the highest priority is determined as the target vehicle corresponding to the order demand.

[0086] It should be noted that the vehicle status can be a matched but unlocked state, a matched and locked state, and an unmatched state, wherein the matched but unlocked state and the unmatched state can be marked as a pending match state, and the matched and locked state is a non-pending match state. The vehicle sorting rules can be the time of entry into the general warehouse, the time of final assembly report delivery, or the sorting of specified fields.

[0087] In addition, it should be noted that the warehouse entry time may be the time when the vehicle enters the warehouse and completes the relevant warehouse entry procedures. The final assembly delivery time may be the time when the vehicle undergoes final inspection, completes relevant procedures, and is ready for delivery to the customer after the final assembly. The order requirements may include the vehicle model, accessories, performance, vehicle batch number and / or delivery time that the consumer wants to purchase.

[0088] It is understandable that since the preferred vehicle library contains vehicles of various vehicle statuses, in order to avoid matching the same vehicle to multiple retail orders in a hurry, when matching vehicles for the first unallocated vehicle order, it is necessary to first screen out the to-be-matched vehicles with a to-be-matched vehicle status from the preferred vehicle library, and then screen out a set of vehicles that meet the vehicle model, accessories, performance and vehicle batch number from the to-be-matched vehicles according to the order requirements of the first unallocated vehicle order. In other words, a set of vehicles that meet the wishes of the consumers corresponding to the first unallocated vehicle order is screened out from the to-be-matched vehicles. In order to be able to meet the sales strategy priority processing company or store wants to process the vehicles, the vehicles in the meeting vehicle set can be prioritized according to the vehicle sorting rules, and the vehicle with the highest priority can be matched to the first unallocated vehicle order, so as to accurately match vehicles for retail orders while meeting the sales strategy, thereby improving the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0089] Furthermore, the vehicle sorting rule selected according to the sales strategy may be: determining the vehicle sorting rule according to the reverse order of vehicle status, the order of time of entry into the general warehouse, and the order of time of final assembly and delivery.

[0090] Specifically, since the production batches of vehicles of the same model in the vehicle warehouse may be different, the vehicle selection status is also different, and the final assembly delivery time is also different, the vehicle selection status, the early or late vehicle entry time, and the early or late final assembly delivery time sales strategy can be combined to determine the vehicle sorting rules by combining the order of vehicle entry time from early to late among the unselected vehicles and the order of final assembly delivery time from early to late for the same batch of vehicles entering the warehouse.

[0091] Furthermore, the step of selecting the to-be-matched vehicles whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched state from the preferred vehicle library includes:

[0092] If there is no vehicle whose vehicle status is the to-be-matched status in the preferred vehicle library, then the vehicle status of each vehicle in the deferred vehicle library is read based on the vehicle screening rule, and the deferred vehicle library is a vehicle library with a lower priority than the preferred vehicle library after being sorted based on the vehicle screening rule;

[0093] The vehicles to be matched whose vehicle status is a to-be-matched status are screened from the deferred vehicle library.

[0094] It should be noted that the deferred vehicle library can be the vehicle library that is ranked after the current vehicle library after the vehicle library is sorted according to the vehicle screening rules. For example, the preferred vehicle library is the vehicle library with the highest priority. Relative to the preferred vehicle library, the vehicle library with the second priority is the deferred vehicle library; relative to the second-ranked vehicle library, the vehicle library with the third priority is the deferred vehicle library, and so on.

[0095] It is understandable that since vehicles in some warehouses need to be sold first to make room in the warehouse for new vehicles, a certain model of vehicle in the warehouse may have been sold out. Therefore, when the warehouse is the preferred vehicle warehouse, it is necessary to determine the second-priority vehicle warehouse according to the vehicle screening rules, and determine whether there is a vehicle in the vehicle warehouse that meets the first unmatched order. If so, determine that the vehicle warehouse is a deferred vehicle warehouse. If not, continue to judge the third-priority vehicle warehouse until it is determined that there is a vehicle warehouse that meets the first unmatched order, and determine that the vehicle warehouse is a deferred vehicle warehouse, and further screen vehicles with a pending matching status from the deferred vehicle warehouse to avoid applying to the factory to increase the number of vehicles of this model when there are existing vehicles that meet the first unmatched order in some warehouses. This can shorten the completion time of retail orders as much as possible and improve the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0096] It is understandable that due to the shortage of vehicles with certain models or parameters, all vehicle pools match the vehicles of this model or parameters. You can apply to the factory to add vehicles of this model or parameters. At this time, the factory can be regarded as the lowest priority deferred vehicle pool to meet the needs of all retail orders and avoid delaying the consumer's vehicle pick-up time after signing a retail order with the consumer.

[0097] Based on the first and second embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 3 , step S10 includes steps S1 to S3:

[0098] Step S1, based on the pre-configured order screening rules, screening the pending orders with order status of waiting for vehicle allocation or reserved from the received retail orders;

[0099] Step S2, determining the priority of each of the pending orders based on the order sorting rule;

[0100] Step S3, sorting the pending orders based on the priorities to determine the processing order of the pending orders.

[0101] It should be noted that the order status may be a completed status, a waiting-for-vehicle allocation status or a reserved status, among which the waiting-for-vehicle allocation status may be a status where the vehicle has not been allocated yet; the reserved status is a status where the vehicle has been allocated but not locked.

[0102] It is understandable that since there are completed orders in the retail orders, in order to avoid repeated allocation of vehicles for the same retail order, it is necessary to first filter out the pending orders whose order status is in the waiting for allocation status and the reserved status from the retail orders according to the order screening rules, so as to avoid repeated processing of the retail orders and affect the efficiency of matching vehicles for the retail orders, and then prioritize the pending orders according to the order sorting rules to determine the processing order of each retail order, so as to avoid store employees jumping the queue in order to complete more retail orders that they are responsible for, thereby improving the fairness of processing retail orders, and making the processing of retail orders orderly, avoiding omissions in the processing of retail orders, so that each retail order can be processed in time, thereby improving the efficiency of matching vehicles for retail orders.

[0103] It is understandable that order screening rules, order sorting rules, vehicle screening rules and vehicle sorting rules can be configured by store employees in the form of components, so that various rules can be flexibly configured in the form of components and the difficulty of configuring rules is reduced. When the sales strategy changes, the corresponding components can be changed in time to complete the various rules that adapt to the updated sales strategy to ensure that the rules take effect immediately.
