Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of container lease contract management, and particularly to a container lease contract management system and method. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of global trade, containers, as an important carrier for cargo transportation, have seen an increase in their lease business. Container leasing involves not only operating leases but also various business models such as financial leases and transportation contracts. These business models require leasing companies to manage contracts efficiently and flexibly to meet the needs of different customers and market changes.

[0003] In the existing management of container lease contracts, most systems adopt traditional contract management methods, which have the following problems and disadvantages: 1) Low contract management efficiency: Traditional contract management systems often require a large amount of manual information input, which is time-consuming and error-prone; especially when the number of contracts is huge, management efficiency becomes a bottleneck restricting the development of enterprises. 2) Complicated contract approval process: The approval process usually involves multiple departments and levels, with long information transmission and approval cycles, affecting the quick response and execution of contracts and resulting in low approval efficiency. 3) Difficult contract information update: When contract information needs to be updated, traditional systems often require the entire contract document to be resubmitted, increasing the workload and approval time. 4) Inflexible contract clause management: When dealing with the relationship between the master contract and the sub-contracts, traditional systems are difficult to achieve the sharing and independent maintenance of clauses, restricting the flexibility and personalized needs of contracts. 5) Information silo problem: The information sharing between different departments and systems is not smooth, forming information silos, which affects the integrity and coordination of contract management. 6) Insufficient user permission management: Existing systems may not be detailed enough in user permission management and cannot ensure that users with different roles can only access and operate corresponding contract information and functions. 7) Challenges in data security and backup: With the increase in data volume, existing systems face challenges in ensuring data security and achieving effective backup. Summary of the Invention

Among them, the contract management module includes a leased container contract management sub-module, a master contract and sub-contract management sub-module, a contract information update and renewal sub-module. The human-computer interaction module is connected to the user permission management module, and the user permission management module and the central database are respectively connected to the contract management module and the approval workflow engine module. The data security and backup module is interconnected with the central database. Preferably, the human-computer interaction module includes a message notification sub-module, and the message notification sub-module is connected to the approval workflow engine module for real-time notification of the feedback information of approval or rejection given by the approval personnel to the relevant personnel. The notification methods of the message notification sub-module include message template customization, instant message sending, scheduled sending, single sending, group sending, resending, reissuing, and multi-channel notification via enterprise WeChat and email to ensure accurate delivery of information. At the same time, a message arrival rate statistics mechanism and a failure alarm mechanism are equipped to ensure communication quality.

[0035] Among them, the human-computer interaction module has a human-computer interaction interface for users to select to input, query, and edit contract information, and a contract approval interface for approval personnel to approve container lease contracts.

[0036] The user permission management module sets different roles for all users according to their positions based on the RBAC model (i.e., the role-based access control model, a widely adopted access control mechanism that simplifies permission management by associating permissions with roles and then assigning users to these roles), and sets corresponding contract permissions for each role. The contract permissions include contract management permissions and contract approval permissions, that is, all roles are divided into users with contract management permissions and approval personnel with contract approval permissions. By binding permissions and users, it is ensured that users of different roles can only access and operate the corresponding contract information and functions.

[0037] Contract Management Module: It is mainly responsible for handling the addition, renewal, revision, and flexible entry of contracts. It includes: the Leasing Container Contract Management Sub-module, the Master Contract and Sub-Contract Management Sub-module, and the Contract Information Update and Renewal Sub-module; among them, after receiving the input selected by the user on the human-computer interaction interface or the selection confirmation instruction for editing contract information, the Leasing Container Contract Management Sub-module verifies relevant fields and associates and brings them out, dynamically generates the corresponding contract formulation interface through responsive design and modular layout, and dynamically adjusts the contract form structure according to the leasing container contract type; after receiving the contract information entered by the user with contract management permission on the contract formulation interface, it automatically creates an approval task and tracks the approval status, and then submits it to the contract approval interface of the human-computer interaction module for approval; after receiving the instruction of approval passed by the approver with contract approval permission on the contract approval interface, it generates a leasing container contract; and is used to maintain key information such as the equipment information and redelivery terms of all contracts (that is, maintain the association relationship of the redelivery terms of the master contract and the sub-contract), and at the same time support the formulation of multiple contract types such as long-term lease, flexible lease, financial lease, and transportation contract.

[0038] The Master Contract and Sub-Contract Management Sub-module is used for users with contract management permission to create a master contract covering the main terms and conditions of container leasing, and can flexibly create multiple sub-contracts covering the implementation details of redelivery terms or supplementary agreements under the master contract, and establish the association relationship between the redelivery terms of the sub-contract and the master contract, and conduct synchronous management, that is, the sub-contract can inherit the redelivery terms of the master contract, or it can be understood that the sub-contract shares the redelivery terms (redelivery location and redelivery quantity limit, etc.) configured in the master contract with the master contract, and supports users with contract management permission to independently maintain several contract terms in addition to the master contract and the sub-contract, such as contract basic information: including time, customer, payment-related, container repair, DV (calculate the fees related to lost containers (lost or total loss, containers that can no longer be used), etc. relevant agreements; contract container type information: including container pick-up restrictions, basic rent, and other operation fee terms, DPP insurance terms, DV and Buyout information (buyout, allowing the container leasing customer to purchase the leased container at a pre-negotiated price), etc., if it is a reefer container (refrigerated container), there will be separate relevant information terms, etc.) to meet the personalized needs of different customers; at the same time, it also uses data version management to simplify the contract update process and provide a version comparison view to ensure the continuity and traceability of data. Introduce the association between the master contract and the sub-contract to strengthen the consistency and compliance of data in specific business scenarios and achieve instantaneous synchronization of changes.

[0039] The contract information update and renewal sub-module is used to update and edit all container lease contracts, and supports changing the effective date of the contract; monitor the validity period of all lease contracts, and automatically determine whether to renew a certain container lease contract within a specific period before it expires. Based on the business logic, generate renewal application options for eligible contracts. After receiving the approval of the renewal application submitted by a user with contract management authority, generate renewal review options. After receiving the instruction of approval passed by an approver with contract approval authority, update the effective date of the lease contract that needs to be renewed and automatically generate a new renewal contract.

[0040] The approval workflow engine module is used to configure different approval flows for the contracts processed by each module. When the contracts of each module are submitted for approval, they are automatically transferred to the approval flows configured for each module respectively, and the contracts are submitted to the corresponding approvers with contract approval authority through the contract approval interface for review according to the approval flow transfer rules of different logical branches configured, so as to complete the management of container lease contracts.

[0041] The central database is used to store the contract information of all modules and the master data related to the contract information, etc.

[0042] The data security and backup module is a policy mechanism provided by the database underlying instance, which adopts multiple backup strategies and access control mechanisms, and combines with the encryption storage and secure API access of all data in the central database to comprehensively protect data security and ensure the security and reliability of contract data.

[0043] Embodiment, such as Figure 2 The working flow chart of the container lease contract management system of the present invention shown as follows:

[0044] S1: The customer confirms the long-term service agreement (LTS, Long Term Service) by email, that is, the customer first confirms the main terms and service scope of the long-term service agreement by email to ensure that the customer has a basic understanding and consent of the lease contract to be signed.

[0045] S2: The customer creates a contract application on the human-computer interaction interface of the system. At this time, the container lease contract management sub-module sets the contract status to "Draft", that is, the customer creates a new contract application in the company's contract management system. At this time, the status of the contract is marked as "draft", which means that the contract is still in the drafting stage and has not passed any formal approval procedures.

[0046] S3: The customer submits a contract approval application. After submitting the contract approval application, the contract status changes to "In Review". That is, the container leasing contract management sub-module generates a corresponding contract drafting interface. When the customer completes the compilation of the contract draft, they can submit an approval application. Once submitted, the contract status will be automatically updated to "Under Review" (the container leasing contract management sub-module sets this contract status update), indicating that the contract is awaiting internal approval. Contract-related data is transmitted in the system via the network and API or messaging.

[0047] S4: The approval workflow engine module routes the contract to the Regional Manager or General Manager (GM) for approval to ensure that the contract content complies with the company's business strategy and regional policies.

[0048] S5: The approval workflow engine module then routes the contract to conduct a Sanction Check to ensure that none of the contract parties are subject to international sanctions, guaranteeing the legality and security of the transaction.

[0049] S6: After both Step S4 and Step S5 are approved simultaneously, that is, when both the approval by the Regional Manager / General Manager and the sanction check are passed, the container leasing contract management sub-module of the system will verify all relevant information and create a formal container leasing contract.

[0050] S7: Confirm the Proofing Report in the system and conduct an approval. That is, after the formal contract is created, the contract text needs to be proofread to ensure the content is accurate. The proofing report will be generated in the system and approved by the relevant responsible person.

[0051] S8: Produce a paper contract.

[0052] S9: The Top Manager conducts an approval.

[0053] S10: Confirm the complete contract with the customer via email to ensure that both parties reach an agreement on the contract content.

[0054] S11: Upload the customer-signed contract or the email confirming the complete contract in the system.

[0055] S12: When all the above steps are completed, the container leasing contract management sub-module in the system activates the contract and changes the contract status to "Active".

[0056] S13: The legal and compliance department reviews whether the signatures are qualified. If the signatures are qualified, the two parties of the contract sign offline.

[0057] S14: Upload the scanned copy of the contract signed by both parties.

[0058] Furthermore, according to the actual business needs, operations such as contract renewal, contract amendment, flexible contract entry, and contract conversion can be performed on the contract.
