Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of e-commerce, and particularly relates to a system and method for pre-sale goods. Background Art

[0002] Currently, operators can conduct pre-sale of goods through some group purchase groups or platforms, and then organize the supply of goods and deliver them one by one manually. Either they agree on the location and time for users to pick up, or the operators deliver door to door one by one. No matter which of the above methods, the distribution is undoubtedly very troublesome, occupying a high labor cost and being extremely inconvenient. For traditional vending machines, operators can only choose locations with large passenger flow and good locations, with high operating costs and fierce competition. Such placement locations will limit the promotion and use of vending machines, and they cannot conduct advertising promotion for commodity sales. Simply put, this is a mode where the equipment looks for people, and the advertising effect has a limited radiation area. The disadvantages of this operation mode of vending machines are also obvious. To solve the above disadvantages, a system and method for pre-sale goods are provided. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a system and method for pre-sale goods to solve the technical problems raised in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0005] A system for pre-sale goods, which includes: an operation end, a supply end, and a user end. The supply end is respectively communicatively connected to the operation end and the user end, and the operation end is communicatively connected to the user end;

[0006] The operation end includes:

[0007] An information release module, which is used for the operator to release pre-sale commodity information and activity information. The commodity information includes the brand, name, unit price, quantity, weight, and status of the commodity;

[0008] An order management module, which includes an order statistics module and a pick-up management module. The order statistics module is used to receive order information from the order generation module and generate an order statistics table, and the pick-up management module is used to receive pick-up information from the pick-up module and generate an order pick-up status table;

[0009] A commodity management module, which is used to manage the address, status of the vending machine, and the quantity, weight, and status information of the commodities in the vending machine;

[0010] A notification module, which is used to receive replenishment information from the replenishment module and send a replenishment completion notification to the user;

[0011] The supply end includes a vending machine, a selling module, a replenishment module, and a pick-up module;

[0012] A selling module, which is used for users to purchase required commodities, view commodity information and activity information on the vending machine on-site;

[0013] A replenishment module, which replenishes the vending machine according to the order statistical table generated by the order statistical module;

[0014] A goods pickup module, which distributes goods to users according to the information input by users and the order statistical table;

[0015] The user terminal includes:

[0016] A pre-order module, which is used for customers to pre-order commodities, select a goods pickup location according to the information released by the information release module, and generate a payment voucher and a pickup code;

[0017] An order generation module, which accepts the information of the pre-order module and generates order information.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the system is integrated into a pre-sale QR code and spread through new media platforms.

[0019] As a further improvement of the present invention, a pickup QR code and a sales QR code are set on the vending machine.

[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the goods pickup module identifies whether the goods pickup user is the order-placing user who places an order through the pre-order module;

[0021] If the identity of the goods pickup user is the order-placing user, the vending machine directly distributes the pre-ordered goods to the user; if the identity of the goods pickup user is a non-order-placing user, the pickup code needs to be input, and the pre-ordered goods are distributed to the user after the pickup code is correct.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the goods pickup module identifies whether the goods pickup user is the order-placing user by comparing the ID of the goods pickup user with the ID of the order-placing user.

[0023] A method for pre-selling commodities, based on the above-mentioned system for pre-selling commodities, includes the following steps:

[0024] S1: The operator publishes the pre-sale commodity information and activity information through the pre-sale QR code and the web page, and spreads them on the new media platform;

[0025] S2: The user scans the pre-sale QR code or clicks on the web page link to log in and access the system, views the pre-sale commodity information, purchases the required commodities, selects the goods pickup address, and obtains the payment voucher and the pickup code; meanwhile, an order report is generated in the system;

[0026] S3: The operator logs in to the system to view the order report, and replenishes the vending machine with goods in a timely manner according to the commodity list, types and quantities in the vending machine to complete the replenishment;

[0028] S5: The user scans the pickup QR code on the vending machine, logs into the system, and directly picks up the goods or enters the pickup code to pick up the goods.

[0029] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:

[0030] The system designed by the present invention allows operators to broadcast information through new media to allow users to log in to the pre-sale commodity system to view the information on the goods on sale. Users can remotely operate pre-purchase orders. Operators carry out fixed-point and timed replenishment based on the user's order information, and then notify the user to pick up the goods. The advantage is that this innovation opens up the connection between the two platforms of the commodity pre-sale system and the automatic vending delivery system, which not only enables the pre-sale system to optimize the delivery process, reduce delivery costs and facilitate user pickup, but also allows the automatic vending equipment to enhance contact with customers, increase customer patronage rate, and increase passenger flow. At the same time, operators can release information on goods and promotions through new media, and change the types of goods on sale in a timely manner according to customer needs to better meet market demand. It solves the problem of "equipment looking for people" in the background technology, which is equivalent to expanding the display area of ​​the automatic vending equipment through the network virtual space, and improves the automated delivery capabilities of the pre-sale platform to reduce the logistics and distribution costs of goods.
