Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a sales activity management system using a portable terminal, a control method for a sales activity management system using a portable terminal, and a program and recording medium for a sales activity management system using a portable terminal, which are mainly related to information management in vehicle maintenance at gas stations. [Background technology]

[0002] The environment surrounding the modern automobile society is changing rapidly, and the management of so-called gas stations continues to face a tough situation. Traditionally, the main business was selling gasoline, but gas stations are now required to make management efforts from various aspects, such as the large fluctuation in gasoline prices, the dramatic improvement in fuel efficiency, the emergence of hybrid cars and electric cars, and the demand for streamlining management of gas stations due to the merger of oil wholesalers. To this end, various ideas and efforts have been made, but the inventor has finally come to the conclusion that it is essential for today's gas stations to comprehensively handle all product sales related to cars, such as the sale of engine lubricants and tires, as well as inspection, maintenance, and product sales, as well as the provision of services.

[0003] In order to sell these products reliably, it is necessary to accurately understand customer demands and collect information such as where to have inspections done, how often and how to replace consumables and accessories other than those for inspections, and when the next replacement will be required. It is also necessary to provide customers with accurate information about their cars in order to increase sales.

[0004] In particular, the sale of used cars is not only expensive, but also leads to subsequent sales through maintenance and equipment provision, making it the most effective way to improve the business performance of gas stations. However, the fact that gas stations sell used cars or act as an intermediary in sales is not well known in general. Therefore, it is extremely important to inform customers of the products handled and the current stock status as necessary.

[0005] The basic idea of ​​the inventor of the present invention has been explained above, but further, if a certain gas station is, for example, an independently operated gas station managed by an individual, and does not have any cooperation with other gas stations, not only would it require a large amount of cost to independently develop and operate the sales management system of the present invention for managing the overall business of the gas station, but even if various information related to the gas station is stored in a database, the amount of information collected by the individual would be limited. On the other hand, for example, for independently operated gas stations, not only would it be necessary to develop a sales management system of the present invention and supply it to each independently operated gas station, but it would also be possible to operate the system by a specific company, business entity, etc., including the management and analysis of information accompanying the operation of the system, thereby making it possible to keep the overall system construction and operation costs low. To this end, it is necessary to construct a system that can accommodate not only the management style of gas stations, such as independently operated, operated with a small number of stores, operated with a large number of stores, etc., but also to accommodate stores that perform vehicle inspections and repair scratches caused by collisions, thereby not only keeping the overall costs low, but also making it possible to construct a sales management system that can collect a wide range of information about vehicles, for example, by collectively managing information from each store. Furthermore, the company filed the application in the hope of strengthening the management base of the entire industry involved in providing services to vehicles.

[0006] In order to further stimulate the vehicle service industry, technical ideas using various methods have been disclosed. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

Next, specific information storage will be described. For example, at a gas station called □△zaka Service Station, which has store number 01, if the vehicle number of the first vehicle that visited the store on January 1, 2016 is Shinagawa ..., the vehicle refueled at the fuel lane 03 of the service station at a time between 7:20:23 and 7:23:45 a.m., the vehicle number column 12202 of the store management information 1 column 12301 stores information such as "Shinagawa ...", the fuel lane column 12203 stores information such as "03", and the time column 12204 stores information such as "07:20.23~07:23.45".In addition, if the vehicle number "Shinagawa..." at store number 01 is registered in vehicle master 70 and the registration number in vehicle master 70 is, for example, 0001, then, for example, "0001" will be stored in vehicle master registration number column 12205, and if the corresponding vehicle has been refueled with, for example, high-octane gasoline, then since high-octane gasoline is registered in item information 1 column 10301 of item master 100, the registration number 0001 in item master 100 will be stored as "H0001" in item number column 12206, for example, 01 item column 122061, and similarly, the numbers of the items purchased at the corresponding gas station will be stored in 02 item column 122062, 03 item column 122063, ..., etc. In addition to purchasing goods, for example, when the vehicle is washed, the registration number according to the service content registered in the service master 110 is stored in the 01 service column 122071, 02 service column 122072, 03 service column 122073, etc., in the service number column 12207, similarly to the item. Also, various services are provided according to the point information stored in the owned points column 12209. When the service points held by the customer stored in the customer master number column 12208 are, for example, 1234 points, the owned points column 12209 stores, for example, "1234," and when the unreflected points among the service points are 12 points, the unreflected points column 12210 stores, for example, "12." The lane numbers stored in the refueling lane column 12203 are not limited to refueling facilities, and may be assigned to, for example, car wash facilities. In addition, if the car is washed after refueling, for example, a service number related to the car wash may be stored together with the refueling in the same store management information column 12301, 12302, ..., etc., according to the number of the original refueling lane.

[0046] In the above explanation, the information stored in each column of the store management database 120 is, for example, a character code consisting of kanji characters and numbers.

The inspection result management information setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the inspection result management information 130. Furthermore, if necessary, an inspection result management information display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the inspection result management information 130 is displayed on, for example, the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The inspection result management information 130 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in a memory or the like. In addition, information entered and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information entered and stored on the store management system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0048] Next, the information stored in the inspection result management information 130 will be described. First, in the inspection result management information field 131, for example, if the shop number is 01, the inspection date is January 1, 2016, the vehicle number of the corresponding vehicle is Shinagawa..., the vehicle master number is 0001, and the management number is 160101-..., the following information is stored: "Inspection result management information Shop No. 01 Date: 2016.01.01 Vehicle number: Shinagawa...

In addition, in the inspection result management column 132, the content column 1320 stores information such as "content", the implemented statutory inspection item column 1321 stores information such as "implemented statutory inspection item", the implemented device column 1322 stores information such as "steering device" in the steering device column 13211, "braking device" in the braking device column 13212, ..., etc., in the implementation details column 1323, the steering wheel column 132111 stores information such as "steering wheel", the gear column 132112 stores information such as "gear", ..., etc., in the braking device column 13212, the wheel column 132121 stores information such as "wheel", and the power steering column 132122 stores information such as "power steering column", ..., etc. Furthermore, in the content column 1320, the inspection result column 13301 stores, for example, "inspection result", the response content column 13302 stores, for example, "response content", the next vehicle inspection column 13303 stores, for example, "next vehicle inspection", the interim response column 13304 stores, for example, "interim response", ..., etc. Next, the storage of specific information will be described. For example, in the vehicle inspection results for a vehicle with a vehicle number of Shinagawa ... and a vehicle master number of 0001, which was carried out on January 1, 2016 at store No. 01 managed by information management No. 160101-..., if the steering wheel of the steering device passed, the gear had a problem, ..., and the wheels of the control device failed, then, in the steering wheel column 132111 of the inspection result column 13301, for example, "◯", the gear column 132112 stores, for example, "△", ..., and the wheel column 132121 stores, for example, "×", ..., etc. Similarly, corresponding inspection results are stored in the response content column 13302, the next vehicle inspection column 13303, the interim response column 13304, etc.

[0049] In the above explanation, character codes such as kanji and numbers are stored as the information stored in each field of the inspection result management information 130, but the information may be, for example, a code or other information that is set independently, or a character code string to which information such as a code that is set independently has been added.

[0050] Next, the vehicle-specific management database 140 that manages information on a vehicle-specific basis in the sales activity management system using a portable terminal will be described with reference to Fig. 14. The vehicle-specific management database 140 includes a vehicle-specific management information column 141 that stores information on the vehicle-specific management database, a vehicle-specific management information management column 142 that stores management information on the vehicle-specific management database, and a vehicle-specific management information 1 column 14301, a vehicle-specific management information 2 column 14302, a vehicle-specific management information 3 column 14303, etc., which indicate individual vehicle-specific management information. The vehicle-specific management information management column 142 further includes a number column 1420, a date column 1421, a store number column 1422, a store management database number column 1423, an item / service content column 1424, etc., and the item / service content column 1424 further includes a content 1 column 14241, a content 2 column 14242, a content 3 column 14243, etc. The vehicle-specific management database 140 is stored in the management device DB21 by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB21, for example, by the management device server 22, which calculates information from related information according to a program stored in the management device DB21, or information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 according to a vehicle-specific management database setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23. The vehicle-specific management database setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the vehicle-specific management database 140. Furthermore, if necessary, a vehicle-specific management database display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the vehicle-specific management database 140 is displayed on, for example, the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The vehicle-specific management database 140 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in a memory or the like. In addition, information entered and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information entered and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0051] Next, the information stored in the vehicle-specific management database 140 will be described. First, in the vehicle-specific management information column 141, for example, if the vehicle number of the relevant vehicle is Shinagawa... and the vehicle master number is 0001, information such as "Vehicle-specific management database vehicle number: Shinagawa... Vehicle master: 0001..." is stored. In addition, in the number column 1420 of the vehicle-specific management information management column 142, information such as "number", in the date column 1421, for example, "date", in the store number column 1422, for example, "store number", in the store management database number column 1423, for example, "store management database number",..., etc. are stored. In addition, in the vehicle-specific management information 1 column 14301 of the number column 1420, information such as "0001" is stored. Similarly, information such as "0002" is stored in the vehicle-specific management information 2 column 14302, and information such as "0003", ..., is stored in the vehicle-specific management information 3 column 14303 in sequence. Next, specific information storage will be described. For example, if the first registration of a vehicle with vehicle number: Shinagawa ... and vehicle master No. 0001 is registered as number 0001 in the store management database 120 at store No. 01 on January 1, 2016, information such as "2016.01.01" is stored in the date column 1421 of the vehicle-specific management information 1 column 14301, information such as "01", ..., is stored in the store management database number column 1423 of the vehicle-specific management information 1 column 14301, and information such as "0001", ..., is stored in sequence each time a vehicle registered as vehicle master No. 0001 visits each store.

[0052] In the above description, the information stored in each column of the vehicle-specific management database 140 is, for example, a character code consisting of kanji characters and numbers. However, the information may be, for example, a uniquely set code or the like, or may be a character code string to which a uniquely set code or the like has been further added.

[0053] Next, vehicle-specific schedule management table 150, which manages past inspection implementation dates, maintenance implementation dates, and future scheduled inspection dates for each vehicle, will be described with reference to Fig. 15. Vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 is configured with start year vehicle-specific schedule management table 151, intermediate vehicle-specific schedule management tables 152-158, ..., end year vehicle-specific schedule management table 159, etc. Each vehicle-specific schedule management table, taking start year vehicle-specific schedule management table 151 as an example, further includes a start year item column 1511, and a January column 15111, a February column 15112, a March column 15113, ..., and a December column 151112 that store information about each month.

[0054] The vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 is stored in the management device DB 21 by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB 21, for example, by calculating information from related information by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB 21, or by storing information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 according to a vehicle-specific schedule management table setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23. The vehicle-specific schedule management table setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150. Furthermore, if necessary, a vehicle-specific schedule management table display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 is displayed on, for example, the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in a memory or the like. Also, information input and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side via the network 10, for example, or information input and stored on the store management system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side. Regarding the schedule management function of the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150, the information stored in the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 is selected by the management system 20, the related system 240, the store system 30, etc., and then sent as needed to, for example, the mobile terminal 40 via the customer support system 201, for example, via a mobile terminal service company, and further, in addition to the mobile terminal 40, not only is the schedule related to vehicles related to sales activities such as information transmission via, for example, telephone, etc. managed, but also, for example, with regard to customers, stores, etc., occurrences at each store are managed by store in accordance with the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150. Furthermore, information may be sent to each store in accordance with the customer.

[0055] Next, the details of the information stored in the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 will be explained using the start year vehicle-specific schedule management table 151 as an example. The start year item column 1511 stores vehicle number information, vehicle master number information, etc. corresponding to the vehicle-specific schedule management. Furthermore, if the vehicle-specific schedule management start year for the vehicle-specific schedule management is 2016, the information "vehicle-specific schedule management 2016" is further stored. Note that in the vehicle-specific schedule management tables from the start year onwards, information such as "2017", "2018", etc. is stored instead of "2016", and the final year vehicle-specific schedule management stores year information that is the end year for management.

[0056] Next, regarding the daily information of each vehicle-specific schedule management, taking the start year vehicle-specific schedule management table as an example, the January column 15111, February column 15112, March column 15113, ..., December column 151112, which store the daily information of each vehicle-specific schedule management, store, for example, a calendar for each corresponding month of the corresponding year. For example, the left end of the monthly calendar column is configured to be Sunday and the right end is Saturday, and the dates may be stored according to the year information stored in the start year item column. Furthermore, the daily information of each vehicle-specific schedule management is stored in the same manner as the start year vehicle-specific schedule management table up to the end year vehicle-specific schedule management table 159. Furthermore, if the planned start date of the vehicle-specific schedule management is, for example, June 3, 2016, the information columns for each day from June 3, which is the date, store, for example, the vehicle inspection expiration date, tire change due date, engine oil change due date, etc. of the corresponding vehicle. Based on this information, the next expiration date, expected replacement date, etc. may be calculated by, for example, the management system 20 and / or the store system 30, and based on this, information indicating the vehicle inspection deadline, tire expiration date, engine oil change time, etc. may be displayed, for example, by changing the display color when displayed on a display, etc. Also, if the vehicle has visited the store before, a store employee may be contacted via, for example, the employee terminal 3013, etc., to, for example, thank the store employee for visiting again.

[0057] In the above explanation, the information stored in each column of the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 is, for example, a character code using kanji characters and numbers. However, the information may be, for example, a code or other information that is set independently, or a character code string to which information such as a code that is set independently has been added.

[0058] The outline of the system according to the present application has been explained above. A specific method for managing sales activities will now be explained using operations at a gas station as an example.

[0059] First, for example, a customer drives a vehicle (not shown) to a gas station and fills up with gasoline or the like. In this system, when a vehicle enters a gas station's fueling area, for example, a camera 3011 in the functional block diagram showing the general configuration of a vehicle maintenance information management system shown in FIG. 1 captures an image of the vehicle, and a store device processor 32, shown in the details of the store system 30 in FIG. 3, analyzes the image using a program stored in the store device memory 31 and captures, for example, the vehicle's license plate number as digital information. This license plate number information is stored in the vehicle number column 12202 of the store management database 120 shown in FIG. 12 as the latest information of the gas station corresponding to the corresponding store number. The store system 30 stores the status of fueling in the store management database 120 in the sequential information of, for example, the fueling lane column 12203 and the time column 12204.

[0060] According to the stored information, not only can the current situation or the situation at the previous gas station be known, but also, for example, by checking the vehicle number information stored in the vehicle number column 12202 of the corresponding store management database 120 against the vehicle number information column 7201 of the vehicle master 70 shown in Fig. 7, it can be known whether the vehicle information has already been registered. If the vehicle is not registered in the vehicle master 70, it is registered in the vehicle master 70 as a new vehicle. Note that the newly registered vehicle information is, for example, collected from the store system 30 via the network 10 based on the vehicle number information in a database of the related system 240, and vehicle inspection information of the corresponding vehicle is collected and stored in the related information column, but information on the customer who drives the vehicle is collected separately. In addition, information about vehicles and customers has already been collected, and for example, when the deadline for a vehicle inspection is approaching, sales activities can be conducted for the customer by showing the date of the inspection to the customer, but in order to exchange sales-related information between store employees and customers in this way, it is desirable to display the information on the display of a portable terminal device, for example, and to proceed with sales activities according to this information, rather than simply communicating through words. Also, as described above, the presence of a portable terminal device or the like is indispensable for information exchange in order to collect information about vehicles and customers who visit the store for the first time.

[0061] The operation of a portable terminal device that exchanges information for sales activities at such a storefront will be described using, for example, mobile terminal 40 shown in Fig. 1. Mobile terminal 40 is configured from hardware including mobile terminal 40 shown in Fig. 4, mobile terminal output device 43 which is a detailed diagram of mobile terminal 40 shown in Fig. 5, and mobile terminal input device 44 which is a detailed diagram of mobile terminal 40 shown in Fig. 6. Image output unit 4321 is connected to, for example, a display, and displays information via mobile terminal output device 43.

[0062] A terminal search screen 160 for searching for targets for sales activities using a mobile terminal in a store will be described with reference to Fig. 16. The terminal search screen 160 includes a screen search information field 161, a search selection field 162, an input information display field 163, an input key field 164, a control input field 165, etc., and further includes a telephone number search field 16201, a number search field 16202, etc. as the search selection field 162, and further includes a terminal numerical value input 1 field 16401, a terminal numerical value input 2 field 16402, a terminal numerical value input 3 field 16403, a terminal numerical value input 4 field 16404, etc. as the input information display field 163 and the input key field 164. It further includes a terminal numeric input 5 field 16405, a terminal numeric input 6 field 16406, a terminal numeric input 7 field 16407, a terminal numeric input 8 field 16408, a terminal numeric input 9 field 16409, a terminal numeric input 0 field 16400, an all clear input field 16411, a 1 character clear input field 16412, a search start input field 16499, ..., etc., and further includes, as control input fields 165, a back input field 16501, a reload input field 16502, a forward input field 16503, ..., etc. The terminal search screen 160 is stored in the management device DB 21 by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB 21, for example, by the management device server 22, which calculates information from related information according to a program stored in the management device DB 21, or information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 according to a terminal search screen setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23. The terminal search screen setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the terminal search screen 160. If necessary, a terminal search screen display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the terminal search screen 160 is displayed on, for example, the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The terminal search screen 160 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in a memory or the like. In addition, information entered and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information entered and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0063] Next, a description will be given of information stored in the terminal search screen 160. First, when displaying, for example, on the display of the mobile terminal 40 for sales activities at a gas station called □△zaka Service Station on December 1, 2016, information such as "Login □△zaka SS Date: 2016.12.01..." is stored in the terminal search screen information field 161. In the terminal search screen management field 162, the phone number search field 16201 may be, for example, "phone number search", the number search field 16202 may be, for example, "number search", ..., and further in the input key field 164, the terminal numerical value input 1 field 16401 may be, for example, "1", the terminal numerical value input 2 field 16402 may be, for example, "2", the terminal numerical value input 3 field 16403 may be, for example, "3", the terminal numerical value input 4 field 16404 may be, for example, "4", the terminal numerical value input 5 field 16405 may be, for example, "5", the terminal numerical value input 6 field 16406 may be, for example, "6", the terminal numerical value input 7 field 16407 may be, for example, "7", the terminal numerical value input The 8 field 16408 stores, for example, "8", the terminal numerical value input 9 field 16409 stores, for example, "9", the terminal numerical value input 0 field 16400 stores, for example, "0", the all clear input field 16411 stores, for example, "AC", the 1 character clear input field 16412 stores, for example, "C", the search start input field 16499 stores, for example, "SEARCH", ..., and further, as the control input field 165, the back input field 16501 stores, for example, "back", the reload input field 16502 stores, for example, "reload", and the next input field 16503 stores, for example, "next", .... The above stored information is displayed, for example, on the display of the mobile terminal 40.

[0064] Next, a description will be given of how the operation contents of a store employee or the like with respect to an image displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40 are stored in the terminal search screen 160 by the program stored in the mobile terminal device memory 41 of the mobile terminal 40 and the mobile terminal device processor 42. First, the store employee inputs the vehicle number (also called the number plate) of the target vehicle from the display of the mobile terminal 40 in order to display information on a vehicle parked in a gasoline filling lane (not shown) on the display of the mobile terminal 40. For example, if the vehicle number is 1234, the store employee presses the display screen displaying the information "1" stored in the terminal number input 1 field 16401 of the terminal search screen 160 with, for example, a fingertip. The mobile terminal 40 recognizes that the number "1" has been specified in response to the operation by the store employee by, for example, a resistive film method, and stores the information "1" in the most significant digit of the input information display field 163 of the terminal search screen 160. When the store employee presses the display screen displaying "2", "3", and "4" in sequence, the information "2", "3", and "4" are stored in the input information display field 163 in the same manner as in the case of "1", and as a result, the information "1234" is displayed in the portion of the display of the mobile terminal 40 corresponding to the input information display field 163. When the store employee confirms that the vehicle number has been correctly input by the display screen, he / she ends the input of the vehicle number to be searched by, for example, pressing the display screen displaying the information "SEARCH" stored in the search start input field 16499 with, for example, his / her fingertip. For example, the program stored in the mobile terminal device memory 41 of the mobile terminal 40 and the mobile terminal device processor 42 collate the information on the input vehicle number with the information in the vehicle number information field 7201 of the vehicle master 70 corresponding to the corresponding store, and selects the corresponding vehicle. Note that when different vehicle numbers are assigned to the same vehicle, they are managed by a separate data table (not shown). Also, when different customers such as family members use the same vehicle, they are managed by a separate data table (not shown). Furthermore, when the same customer has different personal information, the information is managed in a separate data table (not shown).In addition, when the owner of the same vehicle changes, information about the vehicle is managed for each owner using a separate data table (not shown). In the above description, for example, the operation processing related to input is performed on the mobile terminal 40, but some of the processing may be performed by, for example, the mobile terminal service company 2011, or further, for example, the related system 240 via the network 10. Moreover, all of these operation processes are the same.

[0065] In the above explanation, the information stored in each field of the terminal search screen 160 is, for example, a character code consisting of kanji characters and numbers. However, the information may be, for example, a uniquely set code or the like, or may be a character code string to which a uniquely set code or other information has been added.

[0066] Next, the vehicle display list 170 that stores information about the selected vehicle will be described with reference to Fig. 17. The vehicle display list 170 includes a vehicle display list information field 171, a vehicle display list search field 172, a sales information input field 173, a vehicle display management field 174, a vehicle detailed information field 175, a control input field 176, etc., and the vehicle detailed information field 175 includes a vehicle detailed information 1 field 1751, a vehicle detailed information 2 field 1752, a vehicle detailed information 3 field 1753, etc., and the vehicle display list search field 172 includes a vehicle number input field 17201, a vehicle number search display field 17202, a vehicle number search field 17203, etc. Further, as a sales information input field 173, a new customer registration field 17301, an estimate creation field 17302, an order creation field 17303, etc. are provided.

The vehicle display list setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the vehicle display list 170. Furthermore, if necessary, a vehicle display list display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the vehicle display list 170 is displayed on, for example, the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The vehicle display list 170 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in a memory or the like. In addition, information entered and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information entered and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0067] Next, the information stored in the vehicle display list 170 will be described. First, when the vehicle display list 170 is displayed, for example, on the display of the mobile terminal 40 for sales activities at a gas station called □△zaka Service Station on December 1, 2016, information such as "Vehicle display list □△zaka SS Date: 2016.12.01..." is stored in the vehicle display list information field 171. In the vehicle display list management field 172, a vehicle number input field 17201 may be, for example, "vehicle number", a vehicle number search field 17203 may be, for example, "search", ..., etc., in the sales information input field 173, a new customer registration field 17301 may be, for example, "new customer registration", a quotation creation field 17302 may be, for example, "create quotation", a sales order creation field 17303 may be, for example, "create sales order", ..., etc., in the vehicle display management field 174, a chart field 17401 may be, for example, "chart", a vehicle number field 17402 may be, for example, "vehicle number", a model / name field 17403 may be, for example, "create sales order", ..., etc. For example, information such as "model / name" is stored in 17403, "photo" in photo column 17404, "color" in color column 17405, "color" in name column 17406, "name" in phone column 17407, "phone", ..., etc., ..., and further, in the control input column 176, the back input column 17601 stores information such as "back", the reload input column 17602 stores information such as "reload", and the next input column 17603 stores information such as "next", .... The stored information is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40, for example.

[0068] Next, a description will be given of information transmitted to a store employee by the vehicle display list 170 displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40. When a store employee inputs, for example, vehicle number 1234 on the terminal search screen 160 and requests a list display of information related to the corresponding vehicle number, the mobile terminal 40 displays, in the vehicle detail information column 175 of the vehicle display list 170, list information from, for example, the management system 20, the store system 30, etc. via, for example, the customer support system 201 and, for example, the network 10. Specifically, when medical record information exists for a vehicle stored in the vehicle detailed information 1 column 1751, the medical record column 17511 stores "Yes", the vehicle number column 17512 stores "1234", the vehicle model / name column 17513 stores "XX car camera", the photo column 17514 stores an image of the corresponding vehicle, for example, an image file name "700001-001", the color column 17515 stores "White", the name column 17516 stores "Mr. XX", and the phone column 17517 stores "03-1234-...", etc. Similarly, information regarding the vehicle corresponding to the vehicle number 1234 is stored in the vehicle detailed information 2 column 1752, the vehicle detailed information 3 column 1753, etc.

[0069] The information stored in vehicle display list 170 in this manner is displayed on the display of mobile terminal 40, but for example, for the display of photo column 17514, information such as file name: 700001-001 is stored in the corresponding database, memory, etc., but when displayed on the display, an image with the corresponding image file name is displayed, so Fig. 17 shows a screen image displaying the image. In the above explanation, except for photo column 17514, character codes such as kanji and numbers are stored as the stored information in each column of vehicle display list 170, but it is also acceptable for the information to be a uniquely set code, or for example, a character code string to which a uniquely set code or other information is further added.

[0070] Next, a description will be given of how the operation contents of a store employee with respect to, for example, an image displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40 are stored in the vehicle display list 170 by the program stored in the mobile terminal memory 41 of the mobile terminal 40 and the mobile terminal processor 42. First, if nothing is displayed in the name field 17406, the phone number field 17407, etc. of the vehicle detail information field 175 of the vehicle display list 170 even when the store employee enters a corresponding vehicle number in the terminal search screen 160, this means that no customer associated with the corresponding vehicle number is registered, and the store employee, for example, presses the new customer registration field 17301 with his / her finger to register a new customer.

[0071] Next, the new registration screen 180 for performing new registration when a new customer registration is designated by a store employee as described above will be described with reference to Fig. 18. The new registration screen 180 includes a new registration screen information field 181, a new registration screen search field 182, a vehicle registration input field 183, a customer registration input field 184, a control input field 185, ..., etc., and further includes a vehicle registration selection field 18201, a customer registration selection field 18202, ..., etc. as the new registration screen search field 182, and a vehicle registration input field 183 including a vehicle number registration field 18301, a vehicle model / name field 18302, a vehicle sales field 18311, a vehicle inspection field 18312, a vehicle It further includes customer registration input fields 184 such as a name field 18401, a telephone number field 18402, a postal code field 18411, an address field 18412, ..., and control input fields 185 such as a back input field 18501, a reload input field 18502, a forward input field 18503, ..., and the like. The new registration screen 180 is stored in the mobile terminal memory 41 by the mobile terminal processor 42 according to a program stored in the mobile terminal memory 41 of the mobile terminal 40, for example, by the mobile terminal processor 42, and displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40, for example, by the mobile terminal processor 42, which is calculated from related information according to a program stored in the mobile terminal memory 41 of the mobile terminal 40, or information input by a store employee on the screen or keyboard of the mobile terminal input device 44 of the mobile terminal 40 according to a new registration screen setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the mobile terminal output device 43. Alternatively, information calculated from related information according to a program stored in the management device DB21 by the management device server 22, for example, by the management device DB21, or information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 according to a new registration screen setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23, may be stored in the management device DB21 by the management device server 22, for example, according to a program stored in the management device DB21. Also, the new registration screen setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the new registration screen 180.Furthermore, if necessary, a new registration screen display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the new registration screen 180 is displayed, for example, on the management output device 23 of the management system 20 and the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The new registration screen 180 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in memory or the like. Information input and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information input and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0072] Next, a description will be given of information stored in the new registration screen 180. First, when the new registration screen 180 is displayed, for example, on the display of the mobile terminal 40 for sales activities at a gas station called □△zaka Service Station on Dec. 1, 2016, information such as "New Registration □△zaka SS Date: 2016.12.01..." is stored in the new registration screen information field 181. In the new registration screen search field 182, the vehicle registration selection field 18201 is preset with information such as "Vehicle registration", the customer registration selection field 18202 is preset with information such as "Customer registration", ..., in the vehicle registration input field 183, the vehicle number registration field 18301 is preset with information such as "Vehicle number:", the model and name field 18302 is preset with information such as "Model and name:", the vehicle sales field 18311 is preset with information such as "Vehicle sales:", the vehicle inspection field 18312 is preset with information such as "Inspection:", the inspection expiration date field 18321 is preset with information such as "Inspection expiration date:", the insurance expiration date field 18322 is preset with information such as "Insurance expiration date:", the last inspection implementation date field 18331 is preset with information such as " In the customer registration input field 184, the name field 18401 is pre-stored with information such as "Name:", the phone number field 18402 is pre-stored with information such as "Telephone:", the postal code field 18411 is pre-stored with information such as "Postal code:", the address field 18412 is pre-stored with information such as "Address:", and in the control input field 185, the back input field 18501 is pre-stored with information such as "Back", the reload input field 18502 is pre-stored with information such as "Reload", and the next input field 18503 is pre-stored with information such as "Next", and so on.

[0073] Next, information input by, for example, a store employee using the new registration screen 180 displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40 will be described. As described above, even if the store employee inputs the corresponding vehicle number, since no customer is registered in relation to the corresponding vehicle number, when no customer information is displayed in the name field 17406, the phone field 17407, etc. of the vehicle detailed information field 175 of the vehicle display list 170, when the store employee presses the new customer registration field 17301 with, for example, a finger, the new registration screen 180 is displayed. The store employee inputs customer information into each field of the customer registration input field 184 of the new registration screen 180, but when, for example, entering a customer name, pressing the display portion of the name field 18401 with, for example, a finger causes, for example, a sub-screen for character input (not displayed), to be displayed, and input is performed according to this. Similarly, input is performed in each field other than the name.

[0074] When the new registration screen 180 is displayed to input the above customer information, if there is already stored vehicle registration information, it is displayed in the corresponding fields of the vehicle registration input field 183. However, when a store employee inputs information in a field that is not displayed, the employee may input or correct the vehicle registration information by, for example, pressing the customer registration selection field 18202 with a finger. In this case, the input operation may be simplified by, for example, reading a barcode printed on the vehicle inspection certificate using the camera function of the mobile terminal 40. Furthermore, the date information stored in the vehicle inspection expiration date field 18321, insurance expiration date field 18322, previous inspection implementation date field 18331, etc., is also stored in the related vehicle schedule management table 150, etc. In addition, when inputting each of the above information, for example, the customer may register personal information due to the relationship with personal information, but if the customer's name is not permitted to be displayed on the mobile terminal 40 or the like at all times, the customer may input the information himself, for example, from a separate screen (not shown), and after confirming the registered contents, a process of making the information not displayed at all times may be performed. Note that when different vehicle numbers are assigned to the same vehicle, they are managed by a separate data table (not shown).

[0075] In the above explanation, the information stored in each field of the new registration screen 180 is, for example, a character code consisting of kanji characters and numbers. However, the information may be, for example, a code or the like that is set independently, or a character code string to which information such as a code or the like that is set independently has been added.

[0076] As described above, when input and correction in each field of the new registration screen 180 is completed, for example, by pressing the back input field 18501 of the control input field 185, the screen display of the vehicle display list 170 is returned to, and the information entered in the new registration screen 180 is updated and displayed on the screen. At this time, pressing the forward input field 17603 of the vehicle display list 170 displays the new registration screen 180, and such a transition of display when each control input field is pressed is the same for all screens. As a result of the above operation, when the medical record field 17511 is pressed while the vehicle display list 170 is displayed, the contents of the vehicle-specific management database 140, etc., which stores information on previously purchased items, services, etc. related to the corresponding vehicle, are displayed on, for example, the mobile terminal 40 (not shown).

[0077] Furthermore, when the estimate creation field 17302 is pressed on the screen of the vehicle display list 170, an estimate creation screen 190 is displayed. The estimate creation screen 190 will be described below with reference to FIG. The estimate creation screen 190 includes an estimate creation screen information field 191, an estimate creation screen search field 192, an estimate item field 193, an estimate content field 194, a vehicle condition field 195, a remarks field 196, a confirmation signature field 197, etc., and the estimate content field 194 includes an estimate content 1 field 1941, an estimate content 2 field 1942, an estimate content 3 field 1943, etc., and further includes an estimate creation screen search field 192 including a name field 19201, a vehicle number field 19202, a person in charge field 19203, a printing field 19204, etc., and the estimate item field 193 includes an item field 19301, an item / service name field 19302, a unit price field 19303, a quantity field 19304, a total amount field 19305, etc., and further includes an item field 19301, As detailed information of the item / service name column 19302, the item / service name details column 19412, 19422, 19432, ..., etc. are used. As detailed information of the unit price column 19303, the unit price details column 19413, 19423, 19433, ..., etc. are used. As detailed information of the quantity column 19304, the As detailed information, quantity detail fields 19414, 19424, 19434, etc. are provided, as detailed information of the total amount field 19305, total amount detail fields 19415, 19425, 19435, etc. are provided, and further, as control input fields 198, a back input field 19801, a reload input field 19802, a forward input field 19803, etc. are provided. Note that the quotation creation screen 190 stores information calculated from related information by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB21, for example, or information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 according to a quotation creation screen setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23, in the management device DB21 by the management device server 22 according to a program stored in the management device DB21. In addition, the quotation creation screen setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the quotation creation screen 190.Furthermore, if necessary, a quotation creation screen display screen (not shown) according to the contents of the quotation creation screen 190 is displayed, for example, on the management output device 23 of the management system 20 and the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The quotation creation screen 190 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in memory or the like. Information input and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side via the network 10, for example, and information input and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0078] Next, the information stored on the quotation creation screen 190 will be described. First, in the case of a quotation for a gas station called □△zaka Service Station on December 1, 2016, for example, information such as "Quotation □△zaka SS Date: 2016.12.01..." is stored in the quotation creation screen information field 191. Also, in the quotation creation screen search field 192, for example, "Name:" is stored in the name field 19201, for example, "Vehicle number:" is stored in the vehicle number field 19202, for example, "Vehicle number:" is stored in the person in charge field 19203, for example, "Person in charge:" is stored in the printing field 19204, for example, "Print",..., etc., and in the quotation item field 193, for example, "Item" is stored in the item field 19301, "Item", "Item / Service name" is stored in the item / service name field 19302, "Unit price" is stored in the unit price field 19303, "Unit price" is stored in the quantity field 19304, "Quantity", "Total", etc. are stored in the item field 19301, "Item", "Item / Service name" is stored in the item / service name field 19302, "Item / Service name" is stored in the unit price field 19303, "Unit price" is stored in the quantity field 19304, "Quantity", etc., etc., and in the quotation item field 19302, "Item", "Service name", "Quantity", etc. are stored in the item field 19303, "Quantity", etc., etc., and in the quotation item field 19303, "Quantity", etc., etc., and in the quotation item field 19304, "Quantity", etc., etc., and in the quotation item field 1 The amount column 19305 stores, for example, "Total amount", ..., the vehicle status column 195 stores, for example, "Vehicle status:", the remarks column 196 stores, for example, "Remarks:", the confirmation signature column 197 stores, for example, "Confirmation signature:", ..., and further, in the control input column 19801, the back input column 19801 stores, for example, "Back", the reload input column 19802 stores, for example, "Reload", and the next input column 19803 stores, for example, "Next", .... The stored information above is displayed, for example, on the display of the mobile terminal 40.

[0079] Next, a method of inputting quotation information of a store employee by, for example, the portable terminal device memory 41 and the portable terminal device processor 42 of the portable terminal 40 using the quotation creation screen 190 displayed on the display of the portable terminal 40 will be described. First, on the quotation creation screen 190, the store employee checks whether the person's name, etc. is displayed correctly in the person in charge column 19203, and if it is incorrect, for example, presses the person in charge column 19203 and selects the person from a store employee list (not shown) displayed in a pull-down menu (not shown). Note that the store employee list is separately created by, for example, the store system 30. After the employee confirmation is completed, for example, the item column 19301 is pressed, and a list of contents (not shown) related to past purchase items, service names, etc. related to the same vehicle in the vehicle management database 140, etc., is displayed in the same way as when, for example, the chart column 17511 of the vehicle display list 170 is pressed. When the store employee in charge selects an item to be estimated from this displayed content, it is stored in, for example, the item details column 19411 of the quotation content 1 column 1941. After the items are input, the item and service name are selected in the same manner as for the items. The selected item or service name is stored in, for example, the item and service name details column 19412 of the quotation content 1 column 1941. If the quotation content 1 column 1941 and the like have already been input, the corresponding information is stored in the next quotation content column 194 that has already been input. After the input into the item column 19301 is completed, input is made into the item and service name column 19302, the unit price column 19303, the quantity column 19304, the total amount column 19305, and the like. For example, input into the unit price column 19303 may be made by selecting each piece of information from, for example, the item master 100 according to the contents of the item and service name column 19302 and storing it. In addition, quotation for services is made in the same manner as for items, and each piece of information regarding the service may be selected and stored from, for example, the service master 110. When the creation of the quotation is completed, the contents on the display of the mobile terminal 40 are shown to the customer for confirmation.Furthermore, when the details of the quotation are to be printed, for example, PRINT 19204 is pressed, which prints the details on the printer 3012 of the store system 30 and stores the details of the quotation in a quotation details database (not shown).

[0080] Once the creation of the quotation has been completed, an order creation screen (not shown) is displayed, which basically has the same format as quotation creation screen 190. If necessary, details regarding the vehicle condition when the vehicle is kept at the store, other notes, and a confirmation signature by the customer can be entered in a vehicle condition column 195, a note column 196, a confirmation signature column 197, etc.

[0081] In the above explanation, character codes such as kanji characters and numbers are stored as the information stored in each field of the quotation creation screen 190, but the information may be, for example, a uniquely set code or the like, or a character code string to which a uniquely set code or the like has been further added.

[0082] In this way, when the order is confirmed by inputting, confirming, printing, etc. the estimate and order form, the store side will carry out work according to the order contents. Also, when a series of processes is completed, for example, pressing the back input field will return the screen, and when the vehicle display list 170 is displayed, for example, pressing the photo field 17404 will display a photo of the corresponding vehicle as well as detailed information about the vehicle. The vehicle details information 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 20. The vehicle detailed information 200 includes a detailed information field 201, a vehicle detailed information operation field 202, a vehicle information field 203, a vehicle information content field 204, an interview field 205, a desired content field 206, a desired change field 207, a sales information field 208, a control input field 209, etc., and the vehicle detailed information operation field 202 includes a photography field 20201, a terminal change field 20202, a maintenance status field 20203, etc., and the vehicle detailed information content field 204 includes a vehicle number field 20401, a vehicle model / name field 20402, a color field 20403, a vehicle details field 20404, a customer information field 20405, etc., and the interview field 205 includes an interview record, The system further includes a desired content column 20501, an interview 1 record column 20502, an interview 2 record column 20503, ..., etc. as a desired change column 206, a desired content column 20601, a desired vehicle model column 20602, a model column 20603, a color column 20604, ..., etc. as a desired change column 207, a change column 20701, a desired vehicle model column 20702, a model column 20703, a color column 20704, ..., etc. as a sales information column 208, a sales estimate column 20801, an auction information column 20802, ..., etc. as a control input column 209, and a back input column 20901, a reload input column 20902, a forward input column 20903, ..., etc. The vehicle detail information 200 is information calculated from related information by the management device server 22 in accordance with a program stored in the management device DB 21, or information input by an operator from the keyboard of the management input device 24 of the management system 20 in accordance with a vehicle detail information setting screen (not shown) displayed on the display of the management output device 23, and stored in the management device DB 21 by the management device server 22 in accordance with a program stored in the management device DB 21. The vehicle detail information setting screen (not shown) has the same format as the vehicle detail information 200.Furthermore, if necessary, a vehicle detail information screen (not shown) according to the contents of the vehicle detail information 200 is displayed, for example, on the management output device 23 of the management system 20 or the store output device 33 of the store system 30. The vehicle detail information 200 may be input on the store system 30 side and stored in memory or the like. Information input and stored on the management system 20 side may be transmitted to the store system 30 side, for example, via the network 10, and information input and stored on the store system 30 side may be transmitted to the management system 20 side.

[0083] Next, the information stored in the vehicle detail information 200 will be described. First, in the case of vehicle detail information for a gas station called □△zaka Service Station on December 1, 2016, for example, information such as "Vehicle details □△zaka SS Date: 2016.12.01..." is stored in the detail information field 201. In addition, in the vehicle detail information operation field 202, for example, "Photograph taken" is stored in the photo taking field 20201, for example, "Terminal change" is stored in the terminal change field 2020, for example, "Terminal change" is stored in the maintenance status field 20203, for example, "Maintenance status",..., etc., and in the vehicle detail information content field 204, for example, "Vehicle number:" is stored in the vehicle model / name field 20402, for example, "Vehicle model / name:" is stored in the color field 20403, for example, "Color:", vehicle In the details field 20404, for example, “Vehicle details:”, in the customer information field 20405, for example, “Customer information:”, in the interview field 205, in the interview record field 20501, for example, “Interview record:”, in the interview 1 record field 20502, for example, “1st:”, in the interview 2 record field 20503, for example, “2nd:”, etc., and further in the request change field 206, in the request content field 20601, for example, “Request content”, in the desired vehicle model field 20602, for example, “Request type:”, In the desired change column 207, for example, "desired change", in the change column 20701, for example, "desired change", in the desired vehicle model column 20702, for example, "desired vehicle model:", in the model column 20703, for example, "model:", in the color column 20704, for example, "color:", ..., etc. are entered. In column 208, the selling quotation column 20801 stores, for example, "selling quotation", the auction information column 20802 stores, for example, "auction information", ..., and further, in the control input column 209, the back input column 20901 stores, for example, "back", the reload input column 20902 stores, for example, "reload", the next input column 20903 stores, for example, "next", ..., and the like. The stored information is to be displayed, for example, on the display of mobile terminal 40.

[0084] Next, the method in which the store employee in charge displays the vehicle detailed information 200 displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40, for example, by the mobile terminal device memory 41 and the mobile terminal device processor 42 of the mobile terminal 40, and explains the vehicle detailed information to the customer will be described below. First, in the vehicle detailed information 200, the store employee checks whether the vehicle and the customer's name, for example, are displayed correctly based on the information displayed in each field of the vehicle detailed information content field 204. If the information is displayed correctly, the store employee performs specific operations as follows. First, if the vehicle information field 203 displays a vehicle photo 20302 and a current vehicle display 20301 that reads "current vehicle," the following process is performed. If the photo is not displayed or the photo is incorrect and the car is in place, the photo taking field 20201 is pressed, and an image is acquired, for example, by a photo taking function of the mobile terminal 40. The captured image is displayed in the vehicle information field 203. In this situation, the information displayed on the mobile terminal 40 is shown to the customer, and if the customer intends to replace the vehicle he currently owns, he presses the sales estimate column 20801, for example, to confirm the results of an estimate of the selling price of the current vehicle, for example, on an estimate screen (not shown). If the customer has doubts about the content of the estimate, for example, he presses the maintenance status column 20203 to display the inspection and maintenance status stored in the inspection result management information 130, the vehicle schedule management table 150, etc., and confirms the results as explanatory materials for calculating the price. Furthermore, the customer may refer to and explain the repair contents of scratches, etc., or may display the above scratch information together with the maintenance status for explanation. Furthermore, the customer confirms the model, type, color, etc. of the vehicle he wishes to purchase, which were confirmed up until the last time and are displayed in the desired change column 206. If there is a change from the previous request, the customer inputs the change contents from the desired change column 207. If the customer wants to confirm the contents of the request made before the last time, he searches for the interview record from the interview column 205, for example. When the desired vehicle model etc. is decided based on the above information display, for example, the auction information column 20802 is pressed to display information (not shown) regarding the purchase price etc. of the desired vehicle in the current auction.The auction information may be obtained by, for example, making an inquiry to a database related to used car auctions in the related system 240 via the network 10. If the auction information includes a vehicle that the customer likes, for example, a picture of the vehicle may be displayed in the vehicle information section 203 together with other information about the vehicle.

[0085] Furthermore, when an interview with a customer using the vehicle details information 200 is conducted, for example, within a store, for example, in the store system 30, when the above-mentioned mobile terminal 40 is used, the terminal switching process is performed, for example, by pressing the terminal change field 20202.

[0086] The information stored in the vehicle detailed information 200 in this manner is displayed on the display of the mobile terminal 40, but for example, the display of the vehicle information field 203 is stored in a corresponding database, memory, etc., but when displayed on the display, an image with the corresponding image file name is displayed, so Fig. 20 shows a screen image displaying the image. In the above explanation, except for the vehicle information field 203, character codes such as kanji and numbers are stored as the stored information in each field of the vehicle detailed information 200, but it is also acceptable for the information to be, for example, a uniquely set code, or a character code string to which a uniquely set code or other information is further added.

[0087] In the above description, the exchange of sales-related information between store employees and customers is described using the mobile terminal 40 as an example, but since the store system 301 using a so-called tablet-type computer via the network 10 can easily achieve the same effect as the mobile terminal 40, including telephone functions, the portable terminal in the present invention is not limited to a mobile terminal but includes various terminal devices that can be carried around. Furthermore, in order to achieve the object of the present application, the above terminal having many functions may also include a terminal device limited to a specific function. In the above description, information is exchanged by displaying information on a display and pressing the displayed content, but instead of the pressing, for example, it is also possible to detect the pressing of a keyboard, switch, etc., and further display and read a barcode including two-dimensional data displayed on a display, for example, a function to detect the display on a head-mounted display and the movement of the eyeball, and input / output processing by voice, etc.

[0088] In addition, the present application allows a plurality of stores to be managed in the store master 90 shown in FIG. 9, and as a result, a store master for at least one store is constructed. Accordingly, it is possible to have a plurality of information groups based on the master and database shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG. 12, which are created and managed for each store. However, for the stores included in the store master 90, it is possible to not only manage the information groups individually, but also to manage, for example, any combination of stores. For example, it is possible to collectively manage stores that are individual but have the same management body, and further, it is possible to collectively manage information on all stores managed by the present application. It is assumed that the information on the combination of stores to be managed is managed by a separate data table (not shown) or the like to determine what combination is to be managed. However, when the above-mentioned managed information group is displayed, printed, or viewed, the extent to which it is disclosed may be restricted according to the authority of each operator. Also, for example, the vehicle master shown in FIG. 7 is created and managed for each store, but the same vehicle may be registered in the vehicle master of multiple stores. According to the above embodiment, for example, the terminal search screen 160 shown in FIG. 16 is created and managed by each store, so the explanation is based on the premise that an employee of a specific store cannot search for vehicles registered in other stores. However, for example, a company or business entity that operates the sales activity management system according to the present application shown in the management system 20 manages vehicle masters for multiple stores, so it is possible to recognize that the same vehicle is registered in multiple stores. In addition, for example, at a specific store shown in the store system 30, it is also possible in principle to search and view vehicles registered as vehicles of other stores using a mobile terminal 40. Furthermore, by utilizing the vehicle-specific schedule management table 150 and managing each piece of information related to multiple stores in one vehicle-specific schedule management table, it is possible to manage the business performance details, etc., related to multiple stores. In addition, by introducing the sales activity management system according to the present application to each store, not only can the business performance, etc. of each individual store be managed, but also, for example, it is possible to perform a comprehensive analysis of the store into which the system is introduced.It should be noted that each information group shown in the master, database, management table, screen, list, etc. in the above description does not necessarily have to be configured as shown in the figures in this application, and may be configured with multiple information groups even if shown in a single figure in this application, or information groups shown in multiple figures or parts of information groups may be combined into one. [Industrial Applicability]

[0089] The present invention not only makes it possible to obtain detailed information about the status of vehicles that are subject to vehicle maintenance and the customers that use those vehicles, but also makes it possible to visualize issues that are predicted to occur in the future and provide information to all related parties, and is therefore applicable to the vehicle-related distribution industry, such as vehicle maintenance other than at gas stations and sales of vehicle-related products.
