Abstract
This invention provides a shipping support device, method, and program that streamlines product shipping operations by standardizing the shipping timing for each product as much as possible, reducing the number of folded containers and shipments, and optimizing the load capacity of folded containers and delivery vehicles. [Solution] The shipping support device includes: product information storage means that stores store inventory levels and sales trends for each product sold in a store; shipping threshold storage means that stores a first threshold and a second threshold greater than the first threshold for each product regarding store inventory levels; inventory level forecasting means that calculates an estimated store inventory level after a predetermined period for each product based on the information stored in the product information storage means; first candidate extraction means that extracts products whose store inventory levels are below the first threshold as first candidate products for shipping; second candidate extraction means that extracts products whose estimated store inventory levels are below the second threshold as second candidate products for shipping; and shipping means that performs processing related to the shipping of the first candidate products and the second candidate products for shipping.
