Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics transportation, and particularly to a warehousing-free logistics transportation method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the logistics transportation of express delivery companies usually adopts the following approach. After the courier picks up the package, the items to be mailed are manually sorted through a warehousing center and transported through professional logistics vehicles at all levels. The items need to be repeatedly loaded and unloaded through multiple warehousing centers until they reach the courier in the area corresponding to the recipient's address, and then the courier delivers the items to the recipient, thus completing the entire express delivery process.

[0003] Publication No. CN107833006B provides a warehousing-free shared logistics system and a logistics method. After generating a logistics business dispatch order, the logistics business dispatch order is published to a shared platform; when receiving a request from the delivery personnel to undertake the logistics business dispatch order, the logistics business dispatch order is sent to the terminal of the delivery personnel, so that the delivery personnel can complete the delivery.

[0004] However, the above application still has the following problems: The above application is received by the order receivers on the shared platform. For orders that are not received within a certain period of time, there is a lack of effective means to deal with them. Customers may cancel the order when they do not see anyone receiving the order for a long time, which reduces the user experience and cannot flexibly adapt to the dispatch environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention proposes a warehousing-free logistics transportation method.

[0006] A warehousing-free logistics transportation method proposed by the present invention includes the following steps:

[0007] The sender submits an order to the logistics management platform through a smart terminal. When submitting the logistics order information, the sender can manually select whether to increase the order amount and freely select the increased amount. The logistics management platform assigns a first-level label, a second-level label, or a third-level label to the order according to the order information and publishes task information;

[0008] Set different waiting time thresholds. If an order receiver receives the order, they will go to the sender's address to pick up and deliver the package. At the same time, the logistics management platform notifies the sender and the recipient, informing them of the information of the delivery personnel and the estimated arrival time;

[0009] When no one receives the order within the waiting time threshold of the order, the first-level label order activates the platform logistics mode, and the logistics management platform dispatches the order to the logistics vehicle; the second-level label order and the third-level label order notify the sender to put them into the designated shared logistics facilities;

[0010] The sender places the goods in the designated shared logistics facility and confirms the completion of storage through the smart terminal. The logistics management platform starts timing. After waiting for a period of time, if no one accepts the order, the platform assigns the order to a logistics vehicle.

[0011] The logistics vehicle goes to pick up the goods and deliver them after the express volume reaches the threshold.

[0012] When the goods arrive at the recipient's address and the recipient signs for confirmation, the logistics management platform updates the logistics status and sends notifications to the sender and the recipient.

[0013] Preferably, when the logistics management platform publishes task information, the task information includes the location of the goods, the category of the goods, the size of the goods, the recipient's address, and the estimated delivery time.

[0014] Preferably, when the logistics management platform publishes task information;

[0015] For orders with a first-level label, a special notification is pushed to emphasize the urgency of the task and the possible additional rewards, and the waiting time threshold is set to T1.

[0016] For orders with a second-level label, the waiting time threshold is set to T2.

[0017] For orders with a third-level label, the waiting time threshold is set to T3.

[0018] Wait for the order taker to accept the order within the set waiting time threshold.

[0019] And T1 < T2 < T3 to fully integrate resources and reduce costs.

[0020] Preferably, within the waiting time thresholds T1 and T2 of the first-level label order and the second-level label order, when no one accepts the order, when the waiting time of the first-level label order exceeds 0.5T1, the order amount increases to n times the original order amount, and when the waiting time of the second-level label order exceeds 0.8T2, the order amount increases to n times the original order amount, and 0 < n < 1.

[0021] Preferably, after the platform assigns the order to the logistics vehicle, the logistics vehicle does not depart immediately. When the express volume of the assigned order reaches the set threshold, the logistics vehicle goes to the shared logistics facility or the order placement address of the first-level label order to pick up the goods, and directly delivers the goods to the recipient's address according to the planned route after picking up the goods.

[0022] Preferably, the departure condition of the logistics vehicle is: Let the total express volume be Q, the average volume of a single express be V, and the maximum load volume of the logistics vehicle be Vmax. When QV ≥ 0.5Vmax, the logistics vehicle departs.

[0023] Preferably, the logistics vehicle determines the delivery order as follows:

[0024] Let the priority of the first-level label be P1 = 3, the priority of the second-level label be P2 = 2, and the priority of the third-level label be P3 = 1. Let the priority of order i be P i , where i = 1, 2, 3. Let the estimated delivery time of order i be T i ; The delivery priority value S of each order is calculated using the following formula i : And the larger the priority value, the higher the priority of delivery.

[0025] Preferably, the logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information as follows:

[0026] Let the importance parameter of the order be I, the urgency parameter be E, and the goods value parameter be F;

[0027] Each parameter is normalized so that its value is between 0 and 1. Assuming that the value ranges of the original importance parameter, urgency parameter, and goods value parameter are different, then:

[0028] Normalized importance I std : where I max is the maximum possible value of importance;

[0029] Normalized urgency E std : where E max is the maximum possible value of urgency

[0030] Normalized goods value F std : where F max is the maximum possible value of goods value

[0031] Then, calculate the comprehensive priority score A:

[0032] A = a×I std + b×E std + c×F std ; where a, b, and c are the weight coefficients of the importance parameter, urgency parameter, and goods value parameter respectively, and a + b + c = 1;

[0033] If A ≥ 0.8, assign a first-level label;

[0034] If 0.5 ≤ A < 0.8, assign a second-level label;

[0035] If A < 0.5, assign a third-level label.

[0036] Preferably, the logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0037] Manually assign first-level tags, second-level tags, or third-level tags according to the order information by hand.

[0038] Preferably, the logistics management platform assigns a priority tag to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0039] The system directly sets corresponding thresholds according to the distance of the order, and automatically assigns first-level tags, second-level tags, or third-level tags after reaching the corresponding thresholds.

[0040] Preferably, the logistics management platform assigns a priority tag to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0041] The system directly sets corresponding thresholds according to the amount of the order, and automatically assigns first-level tags, second-level tags, or third-level tags after reaching the corresponding thresholds.

[0042] A terminal includes a processor and a storage medium; the storage medium is used to store instructions;

[0043] The processor is used to operate according to the instructions to execute the steps of the above-mentioned warehouseless logistics transportation method.

[0044] A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program thereon, and when the program is executed by a processor, it implements the steps of the above-mentioned warehouseless logistics transportation method.

[0045] In the present invention, the proposed warehouseless logistics transportation method has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0046] 1. Abandon the traditional warehousing mode, without the need for warehousing space, greatly reducing the operating costs and resource occupancy. First, try to utilize the idle social transportation capacity, fully mobilize social resources. Secondly, according to the different priorities of the orders, the orders of customers waiting for a certain time can be assigned to the logistics vehicle first or put into the designated shared logistics facilities. For the orders in the shared logistics facilities, after waiting for a period of time, if no one takes the order, the platform assigns the order to the logistics vehicle. This diversified processing method provides multiple solutions for logistics transportation, adapts to the logistics needs in different situations, makes the logistics transportation more flexible and efficient, and effectively integrates the scattered transportation capacity resources.

[0047] 2. By flexibly using the idle social transportation capacity and the transportation method of logistics vehicles, the effective reduction of logistics costs is achieved. The logistics vehicle only departs after the express delivery volume assigned to it reaches the set threshold, avoiding the empty or low-load operation of the logistics vehicle and optimizing the utilization of transportation resources.

[0048] 3. Set different waiting time thresholds. For the first-level and second-level tag orders, when the waiting time exceeds a certain proportion, the order amount increases. This measure can attract more order-takers to participate in logistics transportation, improve the user experience, and further enhance the flexibility and response speed of logistics.

[0049] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned by practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0050] Figure 1 is a flowchart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0051] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference signs denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, a warehouseless logistics transportation method includes the following steps:

[0053] Order submission and review: The sender submits logistics order information to the logistics management platform through a smart terminal. When submitting the logistics order information, the sender can manually select whether to increase the order amount and freely select the increased amount. The logistics management platform assigns a priority label of a first-level label, a second-level label, or a third-level label to the order according to the sender's order information;

[0054] The logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information as follows:

[0055] Let the importance parameter of the order be I, the urgency parameter be E, and the goods value parameter be F;

[0056] Each parameter is normalized so that its value is between 0 and 1. Assuming that the value ranges of the original importance parameter, urgency parameter, and goods value parameter are different, then:

[0057] Normalized importance I std : where I max is the maximum possible value of the importance;

[0058] Normalized urgency E std : where E max is the maximum possible value of the urgency. Normalized goods value F std : where F max is the maximum possible value of the goods value

[0059] Then, calculate the comprehensive priority score A:

[0060] A = a×I std + b×E std + c×F std ; where a, b, and c are the weight coefficients of the importance parameter, urgency parameter, and cargo value parameter respectively, and a + b + c = 1;

[0061] If A ≥ 0.8, assign a first-level label;

[0062] If 0.5 ≤ A < 0.8, assign a second-level label;

[0063] If A < 0.5, assign a third-level label;

[0064] The parameters and weight coefficient values can be adjusted according to the actual situation to meet different logistics management requirements.

[0065] The logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0066] Manually assign a first-level label, second-level label, or third-level label according to the order information by personnel.

[0067] The logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0068] The system directly sets corresponding thresholds according to the distance of the order, and automatically assigns a first-level label, second-level label, or third-level label after reaching the corresponding threshold.

[0069] The logistics management platform assigns a priority label to the order according to the order information, and it can also be as follows:

[0070] The system directly sets corresponding thresholds according to the amount of the order, and automatically assigns a first-level label, second-level label, or third-level label after reaching the corresponding threshold.

[0071] Logistics task release: The logistics management platform releases task information, and the task information includes the cargo location, cargo category, cargo size, recipient address, and estimated delivery time.

[0072] For orders with a first-level label, push a special notice to emphasize the urgency of the task and the possible additional rewards, and set the waiting time threshold to T1.

[0073] For orders with a second-level label, set the waiting time threshold to T2.

[0074] For orders with a third-level label, set the waiting time threshold to T3.

[0075] Wait for the order taker to take the order within the set waiting time threshold;

[0076] And T1 < T2 < T3 to fully integrate resources and reduce costs.

[0077] High-priority orders have a shorter waiting time to ensure that a suitable delivery person can be found as soon as possible; low-priority orders have a relatively longer waiting time to make full use of the flexibility of idle social transportation resources.

[0078] Within the waiting time thresholds T1 and T2 for first-level label orders and second-level label orders, when no one accepts the order, if the waiting time of the first-level label order exceeds 0.5T1, the order amount increases to n times the original order amount; if the waiting time of the second-level label order exceeds 0.8T2, the order amount increases to n times the original order amount, and 0 < n < 1, to attract order takers.

[0079] In an alternative embodiment, n = 0.2.

[0080] Order taker's acceptance judgment: If there is an order taker who accepts the order within the set waiting time threshold, the order taker goes to the sender's address to pick up the goods and then makes the delivery according to the agreed route. After the order taker accepts the order, the logistics management platform sends notifications to the sender and the recipient, informing them of the information of the delivery person and the estimated arrival time.

[0081] If no one responds to accept the order within the specified time,

[0082] For orders with first-level labels, start the platform logistics mode and dispatch the order to a logistics vehicle; for orders with second-level and third-level labels, notify the sender to drop the goods into the nearest shared logistics facility.

[0083] Shared logistics facilities include express cabinets and express stations.

[0084] Through the above optimizations, it is possible to make more reasonable use of idle social transportation resources, improve the delivery efficiency of urgent orders, and also flexibly issue and process tasks according to orders of different priorities.

[0085] Storage in shared logistics facilities: The sender places the goods in the designated shared logistics facility and confirms the completion of storage through the intelligent terminal. The logistics management platform starts timing. After waiting for a period of time, if no one still responds to accept the order, start the platform logistics mode and dispatch the order to a logistics vehicle.

[0086] Pickup and delivery by logistics vehicle: After the order is dispatched to the logistics vehicle, the logistics vehicle does not depart immediately. When the quantity of dispatched express deliveries reaches the set threshold, the logistics vehicle goes to the shared logistics facility or the order placement address of the first-level label order to pick up the goods, and then directly delivers the goods to the recipient's address according to the planned route.

[0087] The departure condition of the logistics vehicle is: Let the total quantity of express deliveries be Q, the average volume of a single express delivery be V, and the maximum load volume of the logistics vehicle be Vmax. When QV ≥ 0.5Vmax, the logistics vehicle departs.

[0088] The delivery sequence determined by the logistics vehicle is as follows:

[0089] Let the priority of the first-level label be P1 = 3, the priority of the second-level label be P2 = 2, and the priority of the third-level label be P3 = 1. Let the priority of order i be P i , where i = 1, 2, 3. Let the estimated delivery time of order i be T i ; The following formula is used to calculate the delivery priority value S of each order i : And the larger the priority value, the higher the priority for delivery.

[0090] Through the above equation algorithm, the departure time and delivery sequence of the logistics vehicle can be determined more reasonably to improve the logistics delivery efficiency.

[0091] Receiving and confirmation: After the goods arrive at the recipient's address, the recipient is notified. After the recipient signs for confirmation, the logistics management platform updates the logistics status and sends notifications to the sender and the recipient.

[0092] This process can make reasonable use of resources, improve the delivery efficiency of urgent orders, and flexibly handle orders with different priorities.

[0093] This application abandons the traditional warehousing model, does not require warehousing space, and greatly reduces the operating costs and resource occupancy. It first tries to utilize the idle social transportation capacity and fully mobilize social resources. Secondly, according to the different priorities of orders, it can first assign the orders of customers who have waited for a certain time to the logistics vehicle or place them in the designated shared logistics facilities. For the orders in the shared logistics facilities, after waiting for a period of time, if no one accepts the order, the platform assigns the order to the logistics vehicle. This diversified processing method provides multiple solutions for logistics transportation, adapts to the logistics needs in different situations, makes the logistics transportation more flexible and efficient, and effectively integrates the scattered transportation capacity resources.

[0094] By flexibly using the idle social transportation capacity and the transportation of logistics vehicles, the effective reduction of logistics costs is achieved. The logistics vehicle only departs after the number of express deliveries assigned reaches the set threshold, avoiding the empty or low-load operation of the logistics vehicle and optimizing the utilization of transportation resources.

[0095] Set different waiting time thresholds. For the first-level and second-level label orders, when the waiting time exceeds a certain proportion, the order amount increases. This measure can attract more order acceptors to participate in logistics transportation and further improve the flexibility and response speed of logistics.

[0096] By adopting the mode of assigning orders to the logistics vehicle controlled by the logistics management platform when no one accepts the order, the user experience is improved.

[0097] In summary, the warehousing-free logistics transportation method of the present application has remarkable effects in improving logistics efficiency, enhancing flexibility, improving user experience and reducing costs.

[0099] The processor is used to operate according to the instructions to execute the steps of the above-mentioned warehousing-free logistics transportation method.
