Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sales system for selling kit products including a plurality of parts. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, so-called "assembled furniture" has been sold, in which a set of parts is included and the customer assembles it. However, such products are generally intended to reduce delivery costs, and the need for assembly has often been perceived by customers as merely a hassle.

[0003] In recent years, DIY (Do It Yourself) has become popular, where people create their own furniture and other items. This is due to factors such as cost reduction, freedom to design according to customer needs, and the joy of making things themselves.

[0004] Generally, when a customer makes something by himself, he purchases materials at a home improvement store or the like, cuts them into the required shape and size, and then performs processing such as assembly and painting. For example, Patent Document 1 is known as a technology for supporting such DIY activities.

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a product sales promotion system that accepts orders for cutting materials from a customer's terminal, performs the cutting process in the store, and provides the product to the customer. While home improvement stores and the like have traditionally offered cutting services for the materials they sell, the technology described in Patent Document 1 makes it possible to shorten the waiting time for cutting by placing an order for cutting in advance. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3220922 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the technology described in Patent Document 1 simply sold materials and was unable to effectively support customers' manufacturing activities. Because customers had to determine the necessary cutting processes and place their orders, the customer's own skills were required, which led to issues such as the appearance of the finished product being monotonous and it being difficult to order complex shapes.

[0008] On the other hand, selling assembled furniture has made it difficult to offer a diverse lineup in order to enable continuous mass production. In other words, in order to meet diverse needs, it is necessary to always have inventory in order to provide products of various sizes and designs, but this format has presented business challenges such as high costs and difficulty in generating profits, making it difficult to realize.

[0009] In addition, in the past, the inventory of materials stored in stores was provided solely as products in themselves, and it was necessary to secure an inventory of these as well. Therefore, materials for assembling furniture and materials for assembling products had to be secured separately, and a large amount of materials had to be prepared.

[0010] In view of the current situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a novel technique that enables the sale of kit products that can more effectively support customers' production activities. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] [1] A sales system for selling kit products including multiple parts, comprising: a store; and an order receiving server; the store having an order display, a product composition display, a material storage unit, and a processing device; the order receiving server receiving orders for the kit products from customers and outputting order information including information identifying the kit products; the order display displaying the order information output by the order receiving server; the product composition display displaying materials that are used to make the parts included in the kit products; the material storage unit storing the materials to be sold at the store; the processing device having a control unit and a processing unit; the control unit processing setting information registered in advance for each kit product and sending a drive signal for the processing unit; and the processing unit operating in accordance with the drive signal to process the materials to make the parts.

[0012] This configuration allows the necessary pre-cut parts to be provided as kit products, enabling customers to create sophisticatedly designed products without relying on their own skills. Furthermore, materials normally offered in stores can be processed in-store upon order to provide kit products. This eliminates the need to stock kit products, allowing for a diverse lineup of kit products at low cost to meet a variety of customer needs.

[0013] [2] The sales system described in [1], wherein the materials include sheet metal, the setting information includes an allocation of the parts to the sheet metal, and the processing device processes the sheet metal to cut out the parts based on the allocation.

[0014] With this configuration, parts can be automatically cut out from the plate material according to the allocation registered in advance, allowing for more efficient processing.

[0015] [3] The parts include parts cut out from the sheet metal and fastening parts, and the product composition display displays, for each kit product, the sheet metal required to manufacture the parts and the fastening parts included in the kit product. [2] The sales system described in [2].

[0016] This configuration allows store staff to check the board materials and fastening parts required to prepare the kit product, thereby effectively supporting the preparation of the kit product within the store.

[0017] [4] A sales system described in any of [1] to [3], wherein the material storage unit is a sales area of ​​the store for selling the materials as merchandise.

[0018] This configuration allows parts for kit products to be prepared using materials stored on the sales floor, allowing for flexible use of materials without the need to store materials provided as products separately from materials used to make kit products.

[0019] [5] The sales system is a sales system described in any of [1] to [4], wherein the sales system has a plurality of stores, and the order server selects a processing base from among the plurality of stores based on customer input, and outputs the order information relating to the order to the order display at the processing base.

[0020] This configuration allows a store to be selected as the processing base in accordance with customer requests and other conditions, which makes it possible to, for example, have a kit product delivered at a specific store in response to customer requests, or to have the product processed at a store close to the delivery address, thereby reducing delivery time and costs.

[0021] [6] A sales system according to any one of [1] to [5], wherein the store further comprises a label output device, the order display displays a list of multiple pieces of order information, and the label output device outputs a label on which a single piece of order information is written.

[0022] This configuration allows multiple order information to be displayed in a list, while labels for each individual order can be prepared, making it possible to attach a label to each kit product, for example, so that it is possible to identify which order the kit product corresponds to. [Effects of the Invention]

[0023] According to the present invention, a novel technique can be provided that enables the sale of kit products that can more effectively support customers' production activities. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0025] The present invention relates to a technology for supporting the sale of kit products for manufacturing products. In particular, the present invention relates to a system for accepting purchases of kit products online, processing the kit products in a store that stocks the materials, and providing the kit products to customers.

[0026] A kit product is a set product that includes parts for manufacturing a product. There are no limitations on the types of products or parts, but a kit product for assembling a plurality of parts cut out from a board to manufacture a product is envisioned. In particular, in this embodiment, a kit product for manufacturing wooden furniture is envisioned, which includes wooden parts and fastening parts for fastening the wooden parts together.

[0027] Furthermore, materials refer to things that are used to manufacture parts. In this embodiment, wooden boards are particularly assumed as materials, and wooden plate-shaped parts cut out from boards are assumed as parts. For example, it is assumed that any plywood or the like is used as a material. Note that materials are not limited to boards, but broadly refer to any material that can be processed and used as a part, and in particular to materials that are sold as products in stores.

[0028] <1. Overall structure> The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments are shown, but which may be embodied in many different forms and are not limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0029] For example, in this embodiment, the configuration, operation, etc. of the sales system will be described, but similar effects can be achieved by a device having similar functions, a method executed by the device, a computer program that causes a computer device to execute the method, etc. The program may be provided as a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, or may be provided so as to be downloadable from an external server.

[0030] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a sales system in this embodiment. The sales system in this embodiment comprises an order receiving server 1 and a store 2. The order receiving server 1, store terminal 21, and customer terminal 3 are each configured to be able to communicate via a network. In this embodiment, the network is an IP (Internet Protocol) network, but there are no restrictions on the type of communication protocol, type of network, etc.

[0031] For simplicity, Fig. 1 shows one store 2 and one customer terminal 3, but in this embodiment, there are multiple of each. Also, there may be multiple store terminals 21 in one store. Also, the order receiving server 1 may be configured with multiple computers.

[0032] As shown in Figure 1, a customer uses a customer terminal 3 to place an order with the order receiving server 1. The order receiving server 1 then outputs order information and sends it to a store terminal 21, thereby sharing the order details with the store 2 and requesting that the materials be processed to prepare a kit product. At the store, staff pick up the materials needed to prepare the kit product from the inventory stored as merchandise, process them, and deliver them together as a kit product to the customer.

[0033] 2 is a diagram showing a more specific configuration of store 2. Store 2 is a retail store that handles materials as over-the-counter products, and may be, for example, a home improvement store. Store 2 has a store terminal 21, an order display 22, a product composition display 23, a material storage unit 24, a processing device 25, and a label output device 26.

[0034] Store 2 in this embodiment is a home improvement store that sells various materials, tools, fastening parts such as nails and screws, etc. In addition to selling regular materials, Store 2 also provides cutting and processing services in response to customer requests, and is equipped with a processing plant in addition to a sales floor and office.

[0035] As an example, it is assumed that the store terminal 21, order display 22, product composition display 23, and label output device 26 are located in an office where clerical work is performed within the store, and the processing device 25 is located in a processing plant. In this embodiment, the sales floor where materials are displayed as products is the material storage unit 24, but the material storage unit 24 can also be a warehouse or the like separate from the sales floor.

[0036] In this way, according to the configuration of this embodiment, kit products can be manufactured using materials sold as products in stores. In particular, home improvement stores often have a lineup of materials in various sizes, and when manufacturing kit products, it is possible to select and use materials from among those that handle materials in sizes that generate little scrap (leftover).

[0037] <2. Hardware configuration> One or more information processing devices 10 (computer devices), such as a general-purpose server or a personal computer, can be used as the order receiving server 1. Furthermore, terminal devices 9 (computer devices), such as a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet terminal, can be used as the store terminal 21 and the customer terminal 3. In this embodiment, the order receiving server 1 is an information processing device 10 in which a dedicated computer program (sales program) is installed.

[0038] Fig. 3(a) is a hardware configuration diagram of the information processing device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the information processing device 10 has a control unit 101, a storage unit 102, and a communication unit 103, which are used to perform the functions of each unit and each process.

[0039] The control unit 101 has a processor such as a CPU that can execute an instruction set, and executes an OS and programs. The storage unit 102 includes a volatile memory such as a RAM capable of storing an instruction set, and a non-volatile recording medium such as an HDD or SSD capable of recording an OS, programs, and the like. The communication unit 103 has an interface for physically connecting to a network, and controls communication with the network to input and output information.

[0040] Fig. 3(b) is a hardware configuration diagram of the terminal device 9. As shown in Fig. 3, the terminal device 9 has a control unit 901, a storage unit 902, a communication unit 903, an input unit 904, and an output unit 905, which are used to perform the functions of each unit and each process.

[0041] The control unit 901 has a processor such as a CPU that can execute an instruction set, and executes an OS, programs, and the like. The storage unit 902 includes a volatile memory such as a RAM capable of storing an instruction set, and a non-volatile recording medium such as an HDD or SSD capable of recording an OS, a browser application, or a dedicated application program. The communication unit 903 has an interface for physically connecting to a network, and controls communication with the network to input and output information. The input unit 904 includes an operation input device capable of input processing, such as a touch panel or keyboard, and an audio input device capable of audio input, such as a microphone. The output unit 905 includes a display device capable of display processing, such as a display, and an audio output device, such as a speaker.

[0042] 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the processing device 25 in this embodiment. The processing device 25 has a control unit 251, a processing unit 252, and a storage unit 253. Like the control units 101 and 901, the control unit 251 has a processor such as a CPU that can execute an instruction set, and executes an OS, programs, etc. The control unit 251 then executes the program by referring to the setting information stored in the storage unit 253, and outputs a drive signal for driving the processing unit 252 as a result of the execution.

[0043] Like the storage unit 902, the storage unit 253 has a volatile memory such as a RAM capable of storing an instruction set, and a non-volatile storage medium such as an HDD or SSD capable of storing an OS, a browser application, a dedicated application program, etc. The storage unit 253 stores setting information for each kit product, including the allocation of parts to plate materials.

[0044] Here, the setting information is information for automatically manufacturing parts from materials. In this embodiment, the setting information, such as the type of board (species and thickness), size, and allocation of parts to the board, is stored for each kit product. Then, based on this information, the control unit 251 outputs a drive signal, and the processing unit 252 cuts and processes the board according to the specified allocation, thereby manufacturing parts.

[0045] The processing unit 252 receives the drive signal output from the control unit 251 and operates using an actuator or the like to actually process the material. For example, the processing unit 252 includes a portion for fixing the material and a blade for cutting the material, and by moving the material and the blade in response to the drive signal, a device for cutting the material can be used as the processing device 25.

[0046] More specifically, for example, "ShopBot" (URL: https: / / shopbot.vuild.co.jp / ) provided by VUILD Co., Ltd. may be used as the processing device 25.

[0047] The sales system according to this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of sales using the sales system according to this embodiment.

[0048] <3. Order Reception> First, in step S11, the order receiving server 1 receives the order information from the customer terminal 3. Figures 6 to 9 show examples of screens displayed on the customer terminal 3 for inputting the order information in this embodiment.

[0049] The order receiving server 1 stores product information for each kit product, including product ID, product image, product name, product description, price, material, perceived size, weight, accessories, DIY level (difficulty of creation), recommended number of people required for assembly, assembly time, stores where the product can be picked up, and number of items in stock. If the number of stores that can process the product is limited, information about the stores that can process the product is also stored as product information. Then, by displaying the product information, product screens such as those shown in Figures 6 and 7 are displayed on the customer terminal 3.

[0050] On the screen shown in Fig. 7, when a quantity is specified via the customer terminal 3 and "Add to cart" is selected, the kit product is added to the customer's cart. At this point, customization such as size changes may be accepted for some or all of the kit products. In this case, the screen shown in Fig. 7 can further accept selection of customization details.

[0051] Figure 8 shows an example of a screen display for checking the contents of a customer's cart. The customer checks the order details on this screen, and when placing an order, selects "Proceed to order" and enters the order information.

[0052] Figure 9 is an example of the order information input screen. The order information includes a product ID that identifies the ordered kit product, the order quantity for each kit product, the price, the customer's name, contact information, whether the product is to be picked up in-store or delivered, the pick-up store (if pick-up in-store), the delivery address (if pick-up delivered), the desired date and time of pickup, and payment information. Depending on the desired date and time of pickup, the order information also includes the expected shipping date.

[0053] Furthermore, if a selection of customization content is accepted, the customization content will also be included in the order information. The method for registering the customization content may be determined arbitrarily. For example, a different product ID may be issued for each customizable content, and the customization content may be identified by the product ID. Alternatively, more detailed dimensional information may be registered as product information, and changes to those values ​​may be accepted as customization content.

[0054] Here, if the order information specifies customization of, for example, a dimension change, setting information (allocation information) corresponding to the customization content is required to perform automatic processing by the processing device 25. For example, setting information may be registered in advance for each possible customization content, and the corresponding setting information may be selected.

[0055] Alternatively, an automatic simulation may be performed each time depending on the customization content, and the allocation may be determined. For example, when customization specifying finished dimensions is specified, the shape and dimensions of the parts corresponding to those dimensions are first determined. Then, the determined parts are allocated to the materials specified in advance. This simulation may be performed by the order receiving server 1 or by an external server device.

[0056] Then, the quantity of materials required is determined according to the determined allocation, and the details are registered in association with the order information. Then, setting information including the determined allocation is transmitted to the store terminal 21, and is registered from the store terminal 21 in the storage unit 253 of the processing device 25. This makes it possible to automatically process parts according to the customization details.

[0057] <4. Selection of processing base> When the order information is received in the manner described above, the order receiving server 1 registers the order information in the database. Then, in step S12, the order receiving server 1 determines, from among the multiple stores 2, a store 2 that will serve as a processing base for manufacturing and shipping the kit products related to each order.

[0058] Specifically, the order receiving server 1 selects a store 2 to serve as a processing base from among all stores 2 that handle (can manufacture) all kit products included in the order information, depending on the receiving store or delivery address. More specifically, if a receiving store is specified, it is assumed that the receiving store or a store located close to the receiving store will be selected. Also, if delivery receipt is specified, it is assumed that a store close to the delivery address will be selected. In this case, the processing base may be selected depending on the distance, or a coverage area may be set in advance for each store that can serve as a processing base, and a store corresponding to the area to which the receiving store or delivery address belongs may be selected as the processing base.

[0059] When a store 2 that will be the processing base is selected, in step S13, the order receiving server 1 transmits the order information to the store terminal 21 of the store selected as the processing base. More specifically, each piece of order information is linked to the store 2 that will be the processing base, and the order information is made displayable on the store terminal 21 of the store 2.

[0060] Then, in step S14, in response to a request from the store terminal 21, the order receiving server 1 processes and displays the order information in which the store 2 is designated as a processing base, and transmits the processing result to the store terminal 21. The store terminal 21 outputs the received order information. In this embodiment, the display unit included in the store terminal 21 displays the order information, and the display unit functions as an order display object.

[0061] The order display object displays a list of kit products included in the order information. Specifically, in response to a request from the store terminal 21, the order receiving server 1 extracts and displays order information for which the store 2 to which the store terminal 21 belongs has been selected as the processing base, and transmits the processing result to the store terminal 21. As a result, an order information list is displayed on the store terminal 21, which functions as the order display object. At this time, for example, the order information may be narrowed down based on conditions such as the scheduled shipping date, and a list of order information that meets the conditions may be displayed.

[0062] Here, the order display may display the quantity of each kit product in addition to displaying a list for each order. For example, if multiple orders show different customers each purchasing one item A, the total quantity for each kit product may be displayed separately, such as "item A 2," in addition to displaying each order. This makes it clear how many of each kit product need to be prepared during kit product preparation work. This makes it easier to check the total amount of materials needed, and allows work to be done collectively by kit product, which is expected to improve work efficiency.

[0063] In addition to displaying the list of order information on the display unit of the store terminal 21, the list may be printed and used as an order display. In this case, printing does not need to be performed by the store terminal 21. For example, a manager other than the store 2 may print out an order display corresponding to the store 2 and send it to the store 2 by mail or the like.

[0064] 10 is an example of a product display object in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the kit products included in the order information selected by store 2 as the processing base are narrowed down by the scheduled shipping date, and a list of kit products whose scheduled shipping date is the current day is displayed in the product display object.

[0065] <5. Selection of materials> The store also has a product composition display. The product composition display displays the materials that are used to make the parts included in the kit products. In this embodiment, the product composition display is a list of all kit products, and displays the type and number of materials required for each product. Note that by displaying the quantity of materials required for each product in the order display, the list can function as both an order display and a product composition display.

[0066] Furthermore, the product composition display may be, for example, a list showing the total number of materials required for all kit products included in the order display. Specifically, for example, if the order display includes one product A and one product B, and product A requires one material A, and product B requires one each of material A and material B, the product composition display may be a list showing the quantities of materials required to prepare all kit product components, such as "2 materials A, 1 material B." In this case, for example, the required number of materials for each kit product may be registered as product information in the database of the order receiving server 1, and the total number of materials required may be displayed by referencing the product information corresponding to the order information for each store 2.

[0067] The medium for the product composition display is not limited, and may be, for example, displayed on the display unit of the store terminal 21, or may be a list printed on paper. In this embodiment, a list showing the type and quantity of materials required for each kit product is printed in advance for all kit products, and the printed list is stored in the store 2 as a product composition display.

[0068] 11 is an example of a product composition display in this embodiment. As shown in this example, the product composition display in this embodiment displays a list of the types (species of wood, thickness, size) and quantities of materials required for each kit product. Such displays are kept in store 2 and are referred to by staff when preparing kit products.

[0069] Here, there are multiple stores 2, and the materials handled (stocked) as products may differ from store to store. For example, some stores 2 may not handle boards of a particular wood species, or may not handle certain sizes of some boards. Therefore, it is preferable that the product composition display have content that corresponds to the handling of the store 2. In other words, the product composition display may have different content for each store 2. In other words, in a store 2 that does not handle the boards recommended for a particular kit product, alternative materials are displayed in the product composition display in the column for that kit product.

[0070] At store 2, staff members refer to the order display and product composition display and pick up the necessary materials from material storage unit 24. In this embodiment, the order display displays a list of ordered products, and the product composition display displays the types and quantities of materials that are the components of each kit product, so staff members at store 2 compare these to confirm the types and quantities of materials needed, pick up the materials from material storage unit 24, and transport them to the processing plant.

[0071] <6. Material Processing> In step S15, processing device 25 processes the materials. In this embodiment, by setting the plate material in processing device 25, processing device 25 automatically cuts out the material based on setting information indicating the allocation for each kit product registered in advance. More specifically, when a staff member sets the material in processing device 25 and inputs the selection of a kit product, control unit 251 references the setting information registered in storage unit 253 and outputs a drive signal to processing unit 252 in accordance with the allocation setting corresponding to the target kit product. Then, processing unit 252 operates to automatically perform cutting processing.

[0072] <7. Label printing> Once the processing is completed as described above and all parts are completed, they are assembled into a kit product. Specifically, the cut-out parts and fastening parts are assembled and packaged in film or the like, referring to the product composition indicator. In this embodiment, the store 2 has a label output device 26, and the output labels are affixed to the kit products so that the packaged kit products can be distinguished.

[0073] In step S16, the store terminal 21 transmits label information based on the order information to the label output device 26, which then prints the label. The label output device 26 is a general printing machine or multifunction device, and it is preferable to use a sealant for the label. The label displays information that can identify the order, such as the customer name, order number, product name, and quantity. If delivery pickup is specified, a shipping label showing the delivery address and destination can be affixed as the label.

[0074] <8. Delivery> Finally, in step S17, the kit product is delivered to the customer using the method specified by the customer when placing the order (the method registered as order information). In the case of delivery, the kit product with the shipping label attached is left with the delivery company, and the kit product is delivered to the customer. In the case of in-store delivery, the customer visits the store and the staff confirms the order number, etc., and compares it with the information displayed on the label to identify the target kit product, and then delivers the kit product to the customer.

[0075] Regarding payment, in the case of delivery, it is preferable to have the customer enter payment information such as credit card information at the time of ordering and then approve the payment. On the other hand, in the case of in-store pickup, payment procedures can be carried out at the time of pickup in the store in the same way as for regular product purchases at the store.

[0076] As described above, the sales system of this embodiment accepts orders via the customer terminal 3, and kit products can be manufactured and provided using materials stored as inventory in the store. This eliminates the need for stores to hold inventory of kit products, making it easier to develop a diverse range of products. [Explanation of symbols]
