Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tire management system, a tire management method, and a program used between a store user and a warehouse user. [Background technology]

[0002] In the past, when gas stations, car shops, and other businesses would request warehouse companies to store tires they would not be using, they faced the following challenges regarding how to manage data such as tire information.

[0003] Depending on the data management method (paper, Excel, etc.), it may be difficult to notice data loss, incompleteness, or input errors. Depending on the method of requesting tire shipments between stores and warehouses (by telephone, fax, email, etc.), there is a high risk of delivery errors, such as the delivery to the wrong store or the requested tires not being delivered. - There is a high risk of losing track of the tire's storage status (whether it is held by the store or warehouse, or whether it is in transit) - There is a high risk of losing track of storage locations in the warehouse (such as the location of storage racks) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] By the way, if a computer-based tire management system is realized, the following benefits can be expected.

[0005] By managing data in a system, the risk of data loss, incompleteness, and input errors can be reduced. - The management status of each tire is maintained, making the storage status and in / out status visible. By storing detailed data such as storage location, tire manufacturer, and size for each tire, the risk of loss can be reduced. - It will be possible to search registered data, output data, and tally tires stored at the warehouse.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a tire management system, a tire management method, and a program that are equipped with a joint management function and a notification function. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve such problems, the present invention provides a tire management system comprising: a database containing stored tire information; a data input reception and update unit that receives input from store users and warehouse users and updates the stored tire information in the database; and a notification unit that sends a notification email to the email address of the specified warehouse user when a tire pick-up request and a tire shipping request are received from the store user, wherein the database is accessible to both the store users and the warehouse users.

[0008] The present invention also provides a computer-implemented tire management method, including the steps of: accepting a tire collection request from a store user; sending a notification email notifying the receipt of the tire collection request to a designated warehouse user's email address; accepting updates to stored tire information upon receipt of collection from the warehouse user; accepting updates to the stored tire information upon completion of collection from the store user; accepting updates to the stored tire information upon storage from the warehouse user; accepting a tire shipping request from the store user; sending a notification email notifying the receipt of the tire shipping request to the designated warehouse user's email address; accepting updates to the stored tire information upon receipt of shipping from the warehouse user; accepting updates to the stored tire information upon completion of shipping from the store user; and accepting updates to the stored tire information upon completion of management from the warehouse user;

[0009] The present invention also provides a program for causing a computer to execute the tire management method. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a highly convenient tire management system, tire management method, and program that are equipped with a joint management function and a notification function.

[0011] With the joint management function, the same registration data is managed by both the store and the warehouse, and when a request for inbound or outbound delivery is made between the store and the warehouse, it becomes possible to mutually confirm what tires are in question, when, and where they will be delivered.

[0012] The notification function can reduce oversights when requests are made during off-peak periods. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Such modifications and changes are also included within the scope of the present invention.

[0015] The tire management system 1 of this embodiment includes a database 31 containing stored tire information, a data input reception / update unit 21 that receives input from store users 200 and warehouse users 300 and updates the stored tire information in the database 31, and a notification unit 22 that, upon receiving a tire pick-up request and a tire shipping request from a store user 200, sends a notification email to the email address of the specified warehouse user 300. The database 31 is configured to be accessible by each of the store users 200 and the warehouse users 300.

[0016] The tire management system 1 includes at least a control unit 2 and a memory unit 3. The control unit 2 is, for example, at least one arithmetic processing device such as a CPU or a GPU, and executes a program 4 stored in the memory unit 3. The memory unit 3 is, for example, at least one memory device such as a RAM or a ROM, and stores the program 4 and data such as a database 31 used by the tire management system 1.

[0017] The tire management system 1 is realized by a computer, and can be, for example, a server that communicates via a network such as the Internet. A program 4 causes the computer serving as the tire management system 1 to execute the tire management method of this embodiment, and a control unit 2 controls various processes. The control unit 2 includes at least a data input reception / update unit 21 and a notification unit 22.

[0018] The stored tire information included in database 31 is not particularly limited, but may include, for example, application information such as management number and management status, tire owner information such as name, address, and telephone number, vehicle information such as vehicle model and license plate information, tire information such as manufacturer and tire size, and management information such as management start date and desired delivery date.

[0019] The process flow from tire storage to delivery will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

[0020] First, in step S1, the general user 100 requests the store user 200 to change and store the tires.

[0021] In step S2, the store user 200 inputs information about the tires in storage, and the data input reception / update unit 21 receives a tire collection request from the store user 200. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information becomes "collection request."

[0022] In step S3, the notification unit 22 sends a notification email to the email address of the specified warehouse user 300 notifying that a tire collection request has been made.

[0023] In step S4, the warehouse user 300 searches the stored tire information and confirms the tires to be stored.

[0024] In step S5, the data input reception / update unit 21 receives an update of the stored tire information to pickup reception from the warehouse user 300. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "pickup reception".

[0025] In step S6, the store user 200 collects the tires from the warehouse user 300.

[0026] In step S7, the data input receiving and updating unit 21 receives an update of the stored tire information to "collection completed" from the store user 200. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "collection completed."

[0027] In step S8, the store user 200 carries the tires into the warehouse of the warehouse user 300.

[0028] In step S9, the data input accepting and updating unit 21 accepts an update of the stored tire information from the warehouse user to "in storage." At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "in storage."

[0029] In the next season, in step S10, the general user 100 requests the store user 200 to change his tires.

[0030] In step S11, the store user 200 searches for stored tire information and confirms the tires being kept.

[0031] In step S12, the data input reception / update unit 21 receives a tire shipping request from the store user 200. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "shipping request."

[0032] In step S13, the notification unit 22 sends a notification email to the email address of the specified warehouse user 300 notifying that a tire shipping request has been made.

[0033] In step S14, the warehouse user 300 searches the stored tire information and confirms the tire to be shipped.

[0034] In step S15, the data input reception / update unit 21 receives an update of the stored tire information to shipping reception from the warehouse user 300. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "shipping reception".

[0035] In step S16, the warehouse user 300 delivers the tires to the store user 200.

[0036] In step S17, the store user 200 changes the tires of the general user 100.

[0037] In step S18, the data input receiving and updating unit 21 receives an update of the stored tire information to "shipment completed" from the store user 200. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "shipment completed".

[0038] In step S19, the warehouse user 300 searches the stored tire information and checks the tires to be terminated.

[0039] In step S20, the data input receiving and updating unit 21 receives an update of the stored tire information to end of management from the warehouse user 300. At this time, the management status of the stored tire information is changed to "end of management".

[0040] One of the main features of the tire management system 1 of this embodiment is a joint management function, which allows both store users 200 and warehouse users 300 to access the database 31. With this configuration, the same registered data is managed on both the store side and the warehouse side, and when a request for loading or unloading is made between the store and the warehouse, it becomes possible to mutually confirm what tires are in question, when, and where they will be delivered.

[0041] Another main feature of the tire management system 1 of this embodiment is a notification function, which is configured so that when the notification unit 22 receives a tire pick-up request or a tire shipping request from a store user 200, it sends a notification email to the email address of the specified warehouse user 300. This configuration can reduce oversight of requests during the off-season. [Explanation of symbols]
