Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of logistics management, and in particular to a method and device for generating logistics transportation information. Background Art

[0002] The development of e-commerce technology has fueled the growth of the international logistics industry. International logistics requires cross-border transportation. However, many e-commerce companies lack cross-border transportation capabilities, specifically, final-mile delivery capabilities, requiring the assistance of third-party carriers. When transporting through a third-party carrier, the carrier receives orders through the system and matches them with their shipping capacity on a per-order, per-package basis. The carrier then obtains the final-mile logistics waybill based on the matching results.

[0003] However, when applying the above method, there is a problem that the volume and weight information of the last-mile logistics package when the order is placed are different from the volume and weight of the actual package. At the same time, the packaging method of a single package also affects the matching effect, which in turn affects the efficiency of the goods' outbound delivery. Summary of the Invention

[0033] The following description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention is made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which various details of the embodiments of the present invention are included to facilitate understanding. These details should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0034] It should be noted that the collection, collection, updating, analysis, processing, use, transmission, and storage of user personal information involved in the technical solutions disclosed in this invention all comply with relevant laws and regulations, are used for legitimate purposes, and do not violate public order and good morals. Necessary measures are taken with respect to user personal information to prevent unauthorized access to user personal information data and to safeguard the security of user personal information, network security, and national security.

[0035] There are some problems in the process of package packaging and ordering in the current international logistics transportation process, which will cause inaccurate final transportation information. The details are as follows:

[0036] Inaccurate final-leg size and weight information: Since the final-leg order process is completed during the order-taking phase, the size and weight of the order are the cumulative size and weight of all products. There is a certain difference between the actual size and weight of the package and the actual size and weight, which will have a certain impact on the final-leg logistics service provider.

[0037] Impact on the merchant's store reputation: In terms of customers, some platforms do not support the secondary update of the carrier's order number. During the order acceptance period, a one-order-one-package solution is adopted. When the order is re-placed, the last-mile carrier's order number changes. The e-commerce platform cannot obtain the latest tracking data, and there is a risk of judging that the merchant has made a false shipment.

[0038] Impact on warehouse packaging efficiency: Warehouse production requires real-time order placement with service providers, and the service provider's responsiveness can impact warehouse efficiency. Common tasks require system performance between 5 and 10 seconds. For example, a single review station places 500 orders and retrieves shipping labels daily, resulting in a 1.4-hour wait time. Reducing this wait time can help improve packaging efficiency.

[0039] Impacting warehouse picking efficiency: For large items, such as those that are typically packaged one item at a time, we want to improve production efficiency by performing group picking. The goal is to break down document data into individual packages (one item per package) and enable faster picking and verification through group picking and hot-selling product verification.

[0040] Since the above-mentioned pain points exist in the existing logistics and transportation information process, the present invention proposes a method for generating logistics and transportation information, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems and ensure the accurate generation of logistics and transportation information.

[0041] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of the method for generating logistics transportation information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the logistics transportation information method of the present invention mainly includes steps S101 to S104.

[0042] Step S101: Obtain product information of the product to be transported.

[0043] Obtain product information of the products to be shipped sent by the merchant platform, including product name, product volume, product weight, product quantity and other information.

[0044] Step S102 : performing product packaging calculation based on the product information of the products to be transported to obtain a packaging result, wherein the packaging result includes a product list corresponding to each package and consumable attributes of each package.

[0045] Based on the acquired product information, the products to be shipped are unpacked and repacked to obtain the individual packages. The final packaging result is then obtained, along with a product list consisting of the products contained in each package and the consumable properties of each package. The product list contains product information for at least one product in each package, such as product name, weight, and quantity.

[0046] In one embodiment, a variety of package combinations can be obtained according to different unpacking methods, and each package combination contains no less than one package.

[0047] Step S103: Generate a first-leg waybill number for each package; match a last-leg logistics service based on the consumable attributes of each package, and obtain the last-leg waybill number for each package through the matched last-leg logistics service.

[0048] After each package is packaged, a first-leg waybill number can be generated for each package. After generating the first-leg waybill number, a final-leg waybill number needs to be generated. Specifically, a final-leg logistics service (including services provided by different final-leg logistics service providers) is matched based on the consumable attributes of each package in the packaging results. A final-leg waybill number is generated for each package based on the matched final-leg logistics service. The matched final-leg logistics service is a service that can support the packaging and transportation of each package.

[0049] In one embodiment, after generating the first-leg waybill number, the first-leg waybill for each package can be generated by combining the product information of each package with the first-leg waybill number. When generating the last-leg waybill, the last-leg waybill number can be combined with the product information of each package to generate the last-leg waybill.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first leg refers to the entire process from the point of production or supplier's warehouse to a transit point (such as a port or overseas warehouse) in the destination country via international transportation (sea, air, or land transport), including export declaration, international transportation, and customs clearance in the destination country. The last leg refers to the delivery phase from the transit point (such as an overseas warehouse or customs warehouse) in the destination country to the end consumer, typically completed by a local courier or in-house logistics team.

[0051] Step S104: Generate logistics transportation information for the products to be transported based on the product list corresponding to each package, the first-leg waybill number of each package, and the last-leg waybill number of each package.

[0052] After generating the first-leg waybill number and the last-leg waybill number for each package, logistics transportation information is generated based on the two waybill numbers and the product information in the product list corresponding to each package. The generated logistics transportation information can be fed back to the user through the system for the user to query the logistics process.

[0053] The method for generating logistics and transportation information provided by an embodiment of the present invention can package products according to the product information of the products to be transported, and generate a first-leg waybill number according to the packaging result, and then match the consumables attributes in the packaging result with the last-leg logistics service, and generate a last-leg waybill number according to the matched last-leg logistics service, and then generate the logistics and transportation information of the products to be transported. By first packaging the products to be transported and then matching the last-leg logistics service according to the packaging result, the accuracy of the last-leg logistics service matching data can be improved, and then the accuracy of the logistics and transportation information can be improved, while ensuring the efficiency of generating logistics and transportation information and improving the efficiency of goods outbound.

[0054] In one embodiment, packaging the products according to the product information of the products to be transported to obtain the packaging results includes: determining the product type of each product according to the product size and product weight of each product in the product information of the products to be transported; and packaging the products according to the product type of each product to obtain the packaging results.

[0055] When packaging products, a packaging method can be selected based on the product type. Specifically, the package determines whether the product is bulky (i.e., cargo whose volume or weight reaches a preset threshold) based on the product information and weight. Based on this determination, the product type is determined, either bulky or non-bulky. After determining the product type, the corresponding packaging method is obtained. The product is then packaged using the obtained packaging method, resulting in individual packages and the packaging results.

[0056] In one embodiment, non-bulky goods within the product category can be further categorized into medium-sized goods, small-sized goods, etc.; and bulky goods can be further categorized into general bulky goods, oversized goods, etc. Product types and corresponding packaging methods can be set based on actual conditions. The corresponding relationship is not unique and is not limited to this. However, the setting of product types is generally associated with the volume and weight of the product.

[0057] The method for generating logistics and transportation information provided by an embodiment of the present invention can determine the packaging method of a product by product type, thereby achieving accurate packaging of the product and helping to improve the efficiency of subsequent logistics and transportation information generation.

[0058] In one embodiment, a product packaging calculation is performed based on the product type of each product to obtain a packaging result, including: packaging each product of a first product type among the products to be transported into a package; packaging at least one product of a second product type among the products to be transported that can be packaged into a package into a package, and determining the consumable attributes corresponding to each package; and obtaining a packaging result based on the consumable attributes corresponding to each package.

[0059] During packaging, the product type of the items to be transported must be determined. If the product type is determined to be the first type (bulky goods), due to the product's large size, to avoid the accumulation of multiple products into a larger package, which would affect subsequent matching with final-leg logistics providers, a one-item-per-package packaging method is adopted. Specifically, each product is packaged into a single package, resulting in multiple packages. Compared to simply aggregating multiple products into a larger package and then combining them with the final-leg logistics provider, the unpacking method significantly reduces the package size and better matches the final-leg logistics provider's services. This avoids the problem of final-leg logistics providers being unable to accept orders due to excessively large packages, thus ensuring effective matching. If the product type is determined to be the second type (non-bulky goods), a packaging method that combines some products is adopted. This reduces the number of packages while improving matching with final-leg logistics providers and maximizing the matching success rate. Specifically, by combining different quantities of products in the items to be transported, multiple possible combinations are obtained. Each combination includes at least one package, and each package contains at least one product. The list of contained products serves as the product list for each package, which is used to record information about the products packaged in each package. The consumable attributes of each package are determined based on the products contained in each package, and the product list and consumable attributes of each package are combined to obtain packaging results of different combinations.

[0060] The method for generating logistics and transportation information provided by an embodiment of the present invention can ensure the accuracy of product packaging by packaging different types of products. At the same time, the products to be transported can be packaged into different packages, which can be more suitable for the capabilities of last-mile logistics service providers, improve the matching degree of logistics services, avoid the manual order splitting process caused by matching failure, and ensure user experience.

[0061] In one embodiment, the packaging results include at least one package from different packaging combinations. Matching the final-leg logistics service based on the consumable attributes of each package includes: matching the final-leg logistics service based on the consumable attributes of each package in the different packaging combinations to obtain at least one packaging combination and a corresponding final-leg logistics service; determining a target packaging combination within the at least one packaging combination based on a preset packaging combination selection rule, and determining the target final-leg logistics service corresponding to the target packaging combination as the matched final-leg logistics service. The packaging results are packaging results for different combinations, i.e., they include individual packages corresponding to the different combinations. When matching the final-leg logistics service, the different combinations are matched with the final-leg logistics services available from different final-leg logistics service providers. Specifically, the fulfillment capabilities of the final-leg logistics service providers (whether they support the transportation of any of the different combinations) are matched, and the final-leg logistics service corresponding to the matched final-leg logistics service provider is determined based on the matching results. During the matching process, the matching results include at least one final-leg logistics service provider and at least one corresponding packaging combination, from which the optimal matching result is selected. When selecting, you can follow a pre-set optimization strategy, for example, choosing the combination with the least number of packages, the combination with the lowest transportation costs, the final-leg logistics service provider with the highest service quality, or the final-leg logistics service provider with the fastest delivery time. Transportation costs can be calculated based on pricing from different packaging combinations and final-leg logistics service providers; service quality can be determined based on the evaluation scores of the final-leg logistics service provider's historical orders, and delivery time can also be determined based on the delivery time of the final-leg logistics service provider's historical orders.

[0062] In one embodiment, the packaging combination of products is determined as follows: Taking three items with a length, width, and height of 10cm*10cm*10cm as an example, the existing method is to combine them into a 30cm*10cm*10cm package and compare them with the fulfillment capabilities of the final-leg logistics service provider. However, in this solution, the packages are combined into a variety of combinations with different consumable properties: 10cm*10cm*10cm, 20cm*10cm*10cm, 30cm*10cm*10cm, and 20cm*20cm*20cm. These are then compared with the fulfillment capabilities of the final-leg logistics service provider. This provides the final-leg logistics service provider with more possible options and facilitates the selection of the optimal combination for logistics transportation.

[0063] The method for generating logistics and transportation information provided by embodiments of the present invention can package products for transport, generate multiple possible combinations, and determine the optimal combination based on matching with final-leg logistics service providers, thereby optimizing the logistics and transportation information generation process. By using multiple possible combinations, the probability of matching with final-leg logistics service providers is increased, matching failures are reduced, and the efficiency of logistics and transportation information generation is improved.

[0064] In one embodiment, the method further includes: in response to receiving a logistics transportation cancellation request, deleting the logistics transportation information of each package one by one.

[0065] After receiving the logistics transportation cancellation request (i.e., product transportation cancellation request), a cancellation request is sent to the warehouse system so that the warehouse system deletes the generated logistics transportation information of each package, thereby terminating the product transportation process.

[0066] In one embodiment, the method further includes: performing a warehouse-out operation of the product to be transported based on the logistics transportation information of the product to be transported.

[0067] After generating the final-leg waybill number based on the matched final-leg logistics service, the logistics transportation information is further generated by combining the first-leg waybill number and the product list of each package, and the product is packaged and shipped out according to the package and package product list in the logistics information.

[0068] According to the method for generating logistics and transportation information provided by the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to package products according to the product information of the products to be transported, generate a first-leg waybill number according to the packaging result, match the consumables attributes in the packaging result with the last-leg logistics service, generate a last-leg waybill number according to the matched last-leg logistics service, and then generate the logistics and transportation information of the products to be transported. By first packaging the products to be transported and then matching the last-leg logistics service according to the packaging result, it is possible to effectively improve the accuracy of the last-leg logistics service matching data, thereby improving the accuracy of the logistics and transportation information, while ensuring the efficiency of generating logistics and transportation information and improving the delivery of goods. Among them, the packaging result includes different packaging combinations, which can provide a variety of possible combination schemes for the last-leg logistics service provider, increase the probability of successful matching, avoid manual unpacking operations caused by matching failures, and improve subsequent transportation efficiency.

[0069] like Figure 2The following is a schematic diagram of the product packaging process. First, the process determines whether the product to be shipped is a single item (one item per waybill) or unlabeled. Unlabeled means it has not been assigned a target rule. Target rules are the rules of the product packaging process described herein. If the determination is yes, the product packaging process described herein is not required; instead, the product is directly matched with the final-leg logistics service according to existing processes. If the determination is no, the process iterates through all products in the product list and determines the product type. For large items, a one-item-per-package packaging method is used, and the dimensions and weight of each package are determined. For non-large items, a list of products to be packaged is constructed. Different packaging combinations are generated based on the consumables of the final-leg logistics service. These packaging combinations are then combined with the packaging results for the large items to obtain the packaging results for all products. The consumables of the final-leg logistics service are those that meet the final-leg logistics service's fulfillment contract. If the product list contains only one type of product (large / non-large), no aggregation is required. After aggregation, the packaging results are verified for contract fulfillment, and the final-leg logistics service is determined based on the verification results. The fulfillment verification process includes determining whether there is a matching final-leg logistics service. If not, the packaging process described above is skipped and the existing process is used to match the final-leg logistics service. If there is, the optimal packaging combination is selected as the final packaging result.

[0070] like Figure 3 The diagram shows the process interaction between the systems involved in generating logistics and transportation information. This primarily includes the Freight Optimization Platform (FOP) system, the 3PL (final-mile logistics provider), and the WMS (a digital management system designed for warehouses and logistics centers). Within the FOP, upon receiving an order, the FOP determines the number of items. If the order is for one item, the existing single-package process is used. If the order is for multiple items, a packing algorithm is used to determine the dimensions and weight of each individual package, generating a packing result. Based on the packing result, the 3PL is called upon to place an order. The 3PL then calls the final-mile logistics provider to accept the order and receives a response from the 3PL. Based on the order result, the WMS issues the order, shipping label, and product information. After receiving the order, the WMS generates a work order based on the item and performs the picking and packing tasks according to the work order. Upon completion, an order receipt is generated and returned to the FOP for delivery to the customer. When FOP receives a cancellation request, it sends the cancellation request to WMS, causing WMS to cancel the package operations one by one. After all packages are successfully canceled, a cancellation success message is returned to FOP. If the cancellation fails, a cancellation failure message is returned.

[0071] like Figure 4The following diagram shows the logical interactions between systems in the merchandise transportation process. The service order, routing split unit, waybill, and shipment order unit represent different functional units in the FOP system; the waybill center and EDI (electronic data interchange) unit represent units in the final-leg logistics provider system. The service order issues a shipment order and mandatory parameter verification information, sends a mandatory parameter verification request to the shipment order, and receives a pass / fail response. A fulfillment plan is requested from the routing split unit and received back; a package splitting strategy is requested and received back. A multi-package order is placed with the waybill center through the waybill unit, and the final-leg waybill number and delivery note are returned. After the order is placed, the goods need to be shipped. The waybill is converted into a shipment order, and the shipment order is issued to the shipment order unit. The shipment order unit performs inventory pre-positioning operations to obtain the order result from the shipment order unit. The shipment order unit uses asynchronous messaging to issue shipment orders to the WMS via EDI and receives a successful response from the WMS. The outbound order unit sends a print request to the EDI and receives a response. The print request is for printing the face sheet. If the server receives a cancellation command, it sends the cancellation command to the outbound order unit, EDI, and WMS, and receives a response.

By first packaging the products to be transported and then matching the last-leg logistics service according to the packaging result, the accuracy of the last-leg logistics service can be effectively improved, thereby improving the accuracy of the logistics and transportation information, and at the same time ensuring the efficiency of generating logistics and transportation information. Among them, the packaging result includes different packaging combinations, which can provide a variety of possible combination schemes for the last-leg logistics service provider, improve the matching probability, avoid manual unpacking operations caused by matching failures, and improve subsequent transportation efficiency.
