[0056] [System 1 operation] Next, the operation of the system 1 will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0057] First, an overview of the operation of the system 1 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. In the system 1, the following processes (1) to (7) are carried out. (1) Registration process (2) Product search processing (3) Matching process (4) Customer referral processing (5) Progress update process (6) Remuneration processing (7) Remuneration calculation process

[0058] In the registration process (1), a seller B-1 registers in the server 110 commercial products for which the seller wishes to request agents P-1 to PN to act as agents for sales.

[0059] In the product search process (2), the agent P-1 searches for products for which it wishes to sell.

[0060] In the matching process (3), the seller B-1 and the agent P-1 match each other for the agency sales of the product. The matching process involves the agent P-1 applying for agency sales of the product and the seller B-1 approving the application.

[0061] In the customer introduction process (4), the agent P-1 introduces a customer to the seller B-1. Hereinafter, the introduction of a customer will be referred to as a case.

[0062] In the progress update process (5), the agent P-1 updates the progress of the case.

[0063] In the remuneration generating process (6), when the progress of the case satisfies the remuneration conditions, the server 110 generates a remuneration for the case to be paid from the seller B-1 to the agent P-1.

[0064] In the remuneration calculation process (7), the server 110 calculates the first remuneration H1 to be paid to the seller B-1. The first remuneration H1 is the remuneration corresponding to the case that satisfies the remuneration conditions (period, etc.) input by the seller B-1.

[0065] (1) Registration process Next, details of the registration process will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 6 is a flow chart showing the registration process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show images displayed on the display 320 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 9 shows a product management table.

[0066] When the control device 112 of the server 110 reads out the programs PG stored in the storage device 114, these programs PG cause the control device 112 of the server 110 to execute the operations described below. The programs PG cause the control device 112 of the server 110 to execute reward condition information acquisition means 121, progress information acquisition means 122, reward identification means 124, reward information transmission control means 126, and tally condition information acquisition means 128.

[0067] First, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits input video information for displaying the input videos of Figures 7 and 8 to the seller terminal 310-1 via the network interface 116 (step S1). In response, the network interface 316 of the seller terminal 310-1 receives the input video information and outputs the input video information to the control device 312. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires the input video information (step S11). The control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 displays the input videos of Figures 7 and 8 based on the input video information (step S12).

[0068] The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 of the seller terminal 310-1 to input the product registration information I1 in the input image of FIG. 7 and FIG. 8. The product registration information I1 includes information related to the product that the seller B-1 wants to sell. Specifically, the product registration information I1 includes the seller name 50 (not shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8), the seller representative 51 (not shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8), the product name 52, the catch phrase 53, the icon image 54, the product image 55, the character image 56, the introduction form 57, the remuneration conditions 58, and the application conditions 59. The catch phrase 53 is an advertising copy of the product. The icon image 54 is an image of the company logo of the seller. The character image 56 is a character image desired for the customer to whom the product is sold.

[0069] Introduction form 57 indicates a method in which an agent introduces a customer to a seller. Introduction form 57 is a setting indicating a lead introduction or an intermediary introduction. In a lead introduction, the agent introduces a customer to the seller. In an intermediary introduction, the agent introduces a customer who has the intention to purchase to the seller. In other words, in a lead introduction, the agent introduces only customers to the seller. On the other hand, in an intermediary introduction, the agent introduces customers who will purchase merchandise to the seller.

[0070] Remuneration conditions 58 indicate the timing of remuneration and the basis for calculating the amount of remuneration. Remuneration conditions 58 are, for example, "20,000 yen per introduction" or "10% of the contract amount." "20,000 yen per introduction" means that a remuneration of 20,000 yen is generated when the agency introduces a customer to the seller in a lead introduction. "10% of the contract amount" means that when the agency introduces a customer who purchases a product to the seller in a lead introduction or intermediary introduction, a remuneration of 10% of the contract amount is generated when a contract is concluded between the customer and the seller. In this way, remuneration for lead introduction and intermediary introduction are different.

[0071] The application conditions 59 indicate the timing of remuneration and the basis for calculating the amount of remuneration that cannot be described in the remuneration conditions 58. In the input video of Fig. 8, the application conditions state that the remuneration changes depending on the size of the customer.

[0072] Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the product registration information I1 includes remuneration condition information I2. The remuneration condition information I2 includes the conditions for generating remuneration paid by the seller to the agent for matters related to the agent's sales activities of the product. The remuneration condition information I2 indicates the timing of the generation of remuneration. In this embodiment, the remuneration condition information I2 includes an introduction form 57, a remuneration condition 58, and an application condition 59. However, it is sufficient that the remuneration condition information I2 includes at least the remuneration condition 58 and the application condition 59.

[0073] When seller B-1 completes input of the product registration information I1, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires the product registration information I1 (step S13). Then, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the product registration information I1 to the server 110 via the network interface 316 (step S14). The product registration information I1 includes the remuneration condition information I2. Therefore, in step S14, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the remuneration condition information I2 to the server 110 via the network interface 116. In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the product registration information I1 and outputs the product registration information I1 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the product registration information I1 (step S2). Since the product registration information I1 includes the remuneration condition information I2, the control device 112 (remuneration condition information acquisition means 121) of the server 110 acquires the remuneration condition information I2 from the seller terminal 310-1.

[0074] The control device 112 of the server 110 stores the product management table of FIG. 9. The product management table includes a plurality of pieces of product registration information I1. The control device 112 of the server 110 records the product registration information I1 in step S2 in the product management table of FIG. 9 (step S3). At this time, the control device 112 of the server 110 assigns a product ID 60 to the product registration information I1 in step S2 to distinguish it from other product registration information I1. The control device 112 of the server 110 also records the URL of the storage location of the icon image 54 and the URL of the storage location of the product image 55 in the column of the icon image 54 and the column of the product image 55, respectively. This ends the registration process.

[0075] Although the registration process of seller terminal 310-1 has been described above, at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M each execute the registration process. Therefore, at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M transmit multiple pieces of product registration information I1 (i.e., remuneration condition information I2) to server 110. Furthermore, control device 112 of server 110 acquires multiple pieces of product registration information I1 (i.e., remuneration condition information I2) from at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M.

[0076] (2) Product search processing Next, the details of the product search process will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 10 is a flowchart of the product search process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 212 of the agent terminal 210-1. Figs. 11 to 14 show images displayed on the display 320 of the seller terminal 310-1.

[0077] First, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits search image information for displaying the search image of FIG. 11 to the agency terminal 210-1 through the network interface 116 (step S21). In response, the network interface 216 of the agency terminal 210-1 receives the search image information and outputs the search image information to the control device 212. As a result, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 acquires the search image information (step S31). The control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 displays the search image of FIG. 11 based on the search image information (step S32). The search image of FIG. 11 includes a search area A1 and a result area A2. The search area A1 includes a box 500 for inputting a keyword, a check box 502 for selecting a product category, and a check box 504 for selecting a problem to be solved by the product. The search result is displayed in the result area A2. However, at the time of step S32, the search result is not displayed in the result area A2.

[0078] The agent P-1 can search for products for which he / she wishes to act as an agent for sales by inputting search condition information I3 in the search area A1. The search condition information I3 indicates conditions for the agent P-1 to search for products for which he / she wishes to act as an agent for sales. The agent P-1 inputs the search condition information I3 by inputting keywords in the box 500 and / or checking the check boxes 502, 504. This allows the agent P-1 to narrow down the products for which he / she wishes to act as an agent for sales from among the many products that exist.

[0079] When the agent P-1 completes inputting the search conditions, the control device 212 of the agent terminal 210-1 acquires the search condition information I3 (step S33). Then, the control device 212 of the agent terminal 210-1 transmits the search condition information I3 to the server 110 via the network interface 216 (step S34). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the search condition information I3 and outputs the search condition information I3 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the search condition information I3 (step S22).

[0080] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 refers to the product management table of FIG. 9 stored in the storage device 114, and extracts one or more pieces of product registration information I1 that match the search condition information I3, thereby generating search result information I4 (step S23). For example, if the search condition information I3 includes "business efficiency" as a keyword, the control device 112 of the server 110 extracts one or more pieces of product registration information I1 that include the keyword "business efficiency" in the product management table. Then, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits the search result information I4 to the agency terminal 210-1 via the network interface 116 (step S24). The search result information I4 includes one or more pieces of product registration information I1 that match the search condition information I3. In response, the network interface 216 of the agency terminal 210-1 receives the search result information I4 and outputs the search result information I4 to the control device 212. As a result, the control device 112 of the agency terminal 210-1 acquires the search result information I4 (step S35).

[0081] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 displays the search result image of FIG. 12 based on the search result information I4. The search result image of FIG. 12 includes a search area A1 and a result area A2. The search area A1 includes a box 500 for inputting keywords, a check box 502 for selecting a product category, and a check box 504 for selecting a problem to be solved by the product. The result area A2 includes one or more pieces of product registration information I1 included in the search result information I4. This allows the agency P-1 to check the search result information I4.

[0082] The agent P-1 can click on the product name 410 included in the search result image of FIG. 12 by operating the operation unit 226. For example, the agent P-1 can click on the product name "XXXYYY" included in the search result image of FIG. 12 by operating the operation unit 226. In response, the control device 112 of the agent terminal 210-1 causes the display 120 to display the product detail images of FIG. 13 and FIG. 14. The product detail images of FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 include product registration information I1 related to the product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.). This allows the agent P-1 to confirm the details of the product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.). That is, the agent P-1 can know the conditions for selling the product (product name XXXYYY). This ends the product search process.

[0083] (3) Matching process Next, the details of the matching process will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 15 is a flow chart of the matching process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1, and the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 16 is an image displayed on the display 220 of the agency terminal 210-1. Fig. 17 is an image displayed on the display 320 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an agency management table.

[0084] First, the display 220 of the agency terminal 210-1 displays the product details video of FIG. 13. The product details video includes a button 600 with the words "Apply for Partnership." When the agency P-1 wishes to sell a product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.), the agency P-1 operates the operation unit 226 to click the button 600. In response, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 causes the display 220 to display the application video shown in FIG. 16 (step S41). The application video includes the seller name 50, the product name 52, the introduction form 57, and the remuneration conditions 58. Furthermore, the application video includes a button 602 with the words "Apply."

[0085] The agent P-1 checks the seller name 50, the product name 52, the introduction form 57, and the remuneration conditions 58 in the application video. If the agent P-1 wishes to be an agent for a product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.), the agent P-1 operates the operation unit 226 to click the button 602. In response, the control device 212 of the agent terminal 210-1 acquires the application request information I5 (step S42). The application request information I5 indicates that the agent P-1 wishes to be an agent for a product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.). In other words, the application request information I5 is information that associates the product registration information I1, whose product ID is "01", with the agent P-1.

[0086] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 transmits the application request information I5 to the server 110 via the network interface 116 (step S43). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the application request information I5 and outputs the application request information I5 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the application request information I5 (step S51).

[0087] The storage device 114 of the server 110 stores the agency management table of FIG. 18. The control device 112 of the server 110 records the application request information I5 in the agency management table (step S52). More specifically, the agency management table includes a plurality of agency management information I7. The agency management information I7 indicates that the agency is acting as an agent for the product sold by the seller. Specifically, the agency management information I7 includes the seller name 81, the agency name 82, the product name 83, the introduction form 84, the remuneration conditions 85, the partnership start date 86, and the progress 87. The application request information I5 in step S51 is information in which the product registration information I1 with the product ID "01" is associated with the agency P-1. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 records the seller name 50, product name 52, introduction type 57, and remuneration terms 58 contained in the product registration information I1 with the product ID "01" in the seller name 81 column, product name 83 column, introduction type 84 column, and remuneration terms 85 column of the agency management table. The control device 112 of the server 110 also records the agency name of agent P-1, "B Co., Ltd.", in the agency name 82 column of the agency management table. Furthermore, the control device 112 of the server 110 records "Waiting for approval" in the progress 87 column.

[0088] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 generates application approval request information I6 based on the application request information I5 (step S53). The application approval request information I6 indicates that the agent P-1 requests the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.) for approval to act as an agent for a product (product name XXXYYY). That is, like the application request information I5, the application approval request information I6 is information that associates the product registration information I1, whose product ID is "01", with the agent P-1.

[0089] Furthermore, the control device 112 of the server 110 extracts a plurality of pieces of agency management information I7 whose agency name is "B Co., Ltd." from the plurality of pieces of agency management information I7 recorded in the agency management table of FIG. 18 (step S54).

[0090] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits the application approval request information I6 and the plurality of pieces of agency management information I7 to the seller terminal 310-1 via the network interface 116 (step S55). In response, the network interface 316 of the seller terminal 310-1 receives the application approval request information I6 and the plurality of pieces of agency management information I7, and outputs the application approval request information I6 and the plurality of pieces of agency management information I7 to the control device 312. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires the application approval request information I6 and the plurality of pieces of agency management information I7 (step S61).

[0091] Next, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 displays the agency management video of FIG. 17 based on the application approval request information I6 and the multiple pieces of agency management information I7 (step S62). The agency management video includes multiple pieces of agency management information I7. The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 to click on "Waiting for approval" in the progress section included in the agency management information I7 at the top. This causes the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 to acquire the application approval information I8 (step S63). The application approval information I8 indicates that the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.) has approved the agency P-1 to act as an agent for the product (product name XXXYYY). Therefore, the application approval information I8 includes the agency management information I7 approved by the seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.).

[0092] Next, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the application approval information I8 to the server 110 via the network interface 316 (step S64). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the application approval information I8 and outputs the application approval information I8 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the application approval information I8 (step S56).

[0093] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 updates the agency management table of FIG. 18 based on the application approval information I8 (step S57). More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 changes the progress column included in the agency management information I7 at the top of the agency management table from "waiting for approval" to "approved," and records the current date in the partnership start date 86 column. This completes the matching process between the dealer B-1 and the agency P-1. Note that each of at least a portion of the agency terminals 210-1 to 210-N and each of at least a portion of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M executes the matching process.

[0094] (4) Customer referral processing Next, details of the customer introduction process will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 19 is a flow chart of the customer introduction process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1. Fig. 20 is an image displayed on the display 220 of the agency terminal 210-1. Fig. 21 is a diagram showing a case management table.

[0095] First, the agent P-1 (B Corporation) sells a product (product name XXXYYY) sold by the seller B-1 (A Corporation). The agent P-1 (B Corporation) negotiates with a customer for the product (product name XXXYYY). At this time, the control device 212 of the agent terminal 210-1 transmits a customer introduction notice to the server 110 via the network interface 116 in response to the operation of the operation unit 226 by the agent P-1 (step S71). The customer introduction notice indicates that the agent P-1 (B Corporation) introduces a customer to the seller B-1 (A Corporation) who sells the product (product name XXXYYY). In other words, the customer introduction notice is information that associates the agent name "B Corporation" of the agent P-1, the seller name "A Corporation" of the seller B-1, and the product name "XXXYYY" sold by the seller B-1.

[0096] The network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the customer referral notification and outputs the customer referral notification to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the customer referral notification (step S81). In response, the control device 112 of the server 110 refers to the agency management table of FIG. 18 and acquires agency management information I7 corresponding to the agency name, seller name, and product name included in the customer referral notification (step S82). Then, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits customer information input video information for displaying the customer information input video of FIG. 20 and the agency management information I7 to the agency terminal 210-1 via the network interface 116 (step S83).

[0097] The customer information input video of Fig. 20 is a video for agent P-1 (B Corporation) to input customer information I9. Customer information I9 is ​​information related to a customer who wants to purchase a product (product name XXXYYY) sold by seller B-1 (A Corporation). As shown in Fig. 20, customer information I9 includes customer name 97, customer representative name 98, job title 101, email address 102, phone number 103, and transfer items 104.

[0098] The network interface 216 of the agency terminal 210-1 receives the customer information input video information and the agency management information I7, and outputs the customer information input video information and the agency management information I7 to the control device 212. As a result, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 acquires the customer information input video information and the agency management information I7 (step S72). Then, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 displays the customer information input video of FIG. 20 on the display 220 (step S73). The agent P-1 inputs the customer information I9 by operating the operation unit 226. As a result, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 acquires the customer information I9 (step S74).

[0099] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 generates the case information I10 (step S75). The case information I10 shows the details of the case. The case is the content of the negotiation for the product. As shown in FIG. 21, the case information I10 includes the occurrence date and time 91, the product name 92, the seller name 93, the agency name 94, the introduction form 95, the remuneration condition 96, the customer name 97, the customer representative name 98, the remuneration amount 99, and the progress 100. The agency management information I7 includes the seller name 81, the agency name 82, the product name 83, the introduction form 84, and the remuneration condition 85. The customer information I9 includes the customer name 97, the customer representative name 98, the job title 101, the email address 102, the telephone number 103, and the handover items 104. Therefore, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 generates the case information I10 based on the agency management information I7 and the customer information I9 (step S75). At this time, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 records the current date and time in the occurrence date and time 91 included in the case information I10.

[0100] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 transmits the case information I10 to the server 110 via the network interface 216 (step S76). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the case information I10 and outputs the case information I10 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the case information I10 (step S84).

[0101] The storage device 114 of the server 110 stores the case management table of Fig. 21. The control device 112 of the server 110 records the case information I10 in the case management table (step S85). This ends the customer introduction process.

[0102] (5) Progress management processing and (6) Remuneration processing Next, the progress management process and the reward generation process will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 22 is a flowchart of the progress management process and the reward generation process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 23 and Fig. 24 show images displayed on the display 320 of the seller terminal 310-1.

[0103] First, in response to an operation of the operation unit 326 by the seller B-1, the seller terminal 310-1 transmits a case update notification to the server 110 via the network interface 316 (step S91). The case update notification indicates that the server 110 is to be notified that the progress of the case information I10 is to be updated. In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the case update notification and outputs the case update notification to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the case update notification (step S141).

[0104] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 extracts one or more pieces of case information I10 whose seller name is "B Corporation" (seller B-1) from the case management table of FIG. 21 (step S142). Then, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits the one or more pieces of case information I10 extracted in step S142 to the seller terminal 310-1 via the network interface 116 (step S142). In response, the network interface 316 of the seller terminal 310 receives the one or more pieces of case information I10 and outputs the one or more pieces of case information I10 to the control device 312. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires the one or more pieces of case information I10 (step S92).

[0105] Next, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 displays the case list video shown in FIG. 23 on the display 320 based on the one or more pieces of case information I10 acquired in step S92 (step S93). The case list video includes one or more pieces of case information I10 acquired in step S92. The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 to select the case information I10 for which progress is to be updated. This causes the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 to display the case management video (see FIG. 24) of the case information I10 for which progress is to be updated on the display 320 (step S94). The case management video is an image for the seller B-1 to update the progress of the case information I10. Therefore, the case management video includes a tab 700 for updating the progress of the case information I10. The seller B-1 can select progress from the tab 700 by operating the operation unit 326. Seller B-1 can select, for example, "Introduced", "Contracted", and "Payment made" as progress. "Introduced" indicates that the customer has been introduced to seller B-1. "Contracted" means that the customer has purchased a product (product name XXXYYY) from seller B-1 (A Co., Ltd.). "Payment made" means that the customer has paid the price of the product to seller B-1. In addition to "Introduced", "Contracted", and "Payment made", seller B-1 may also be able to select "New", "Schedule being adjusted", "Negotiations in progress", "Closed", "Commission settled", and "Not acceptable" as progress.

[0106] The seller B-1 selects "Progress" from the tab 700 by operating the operation unit 326. The case management video also includes a button 710 labeled "Update." The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 to click the button 710. This causes the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 to acquire progress information I12 (step S95). The progress information I12 indicates the progress selected by the seller B-1 in step S94. In this manner, the progress information I12 indicates the progress of matters related to the sales activities of the product by the agent P-1.

[0107] The control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 refers to the case information I10 acquired in step S92 and the progress information I12 acquired in step S95 to determine whether or not a reward will be generated for the case of the case information I10 (step S96). More specifically, the case information I10 includes reward condition information I2 as shown in FIG. 21. The reward condition information I2 includes the generation condition of the reward paid from the seller to the agent for matters related to the agent's sales activities of the product. Specifically, the reward condition information I2 indicates the progress of the case for the reward to be generated. That is, the reward condition information I2 indicates the generation time of the reward. In this embodiment, the reward condition information I2 corresponds to the introduction form 95 and the reward condition 96. Therefore, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 determines whether or not the progress indicated by the progress information I12 satisfies the generation condition of the reward indicated by the reward condition information I2. For example, if the condition for generating a reward in the reward condition information I2 is the conclusion of a contract, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 determines whether the progress information I12 is "contract completed." If the progress indicated by the progress information I12 is "contract completed," the progress information I12 satisfies the condition for generating a reward indicated by the reward condition information I2, and so a reward is generated. This process proceeds to step S97. If the progress indicated by the progress information I12 is not "contract completed," the progress information I12 does not satisfy the condition for generating a reward indicated by the reward condition information I2, and so no reward is generated. This process proceeds to step S99.

[0108] If a fee is to be paid, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 generates fee information I13 (step S97). The fee information I13 indicates the amount of fee to be paid by the seller B-1 to the agent P-1 for the case indicated by the case information I10. The control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 then transmits the progress information I12 and the fee information I13 to the server 110 via the network interface 116 (step S98). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the progress information I12 and the fee information I13, and outputs the progress information I12 and the fee information I13 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 (progress information acquisition means 122) of the server 110 acquires the progress information I12 and the fee information I13 from the seller terminal 310-1 (step S143).

[0109] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 updates the case management table of Fig. 21 based on the progress information I12 and the remuneration information I13 (step S144). More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 records the progress indicated by the progress information I12 in the progress 100 column, and records the remuneration indicated by the remuneration information I13 in the remuneration amount 99 column. This completes the progress management process and the remuneration generation process.

[0110] If no reward is generated, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the progress information I12 to the server 110 via the network interface 316 (step S99). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the progress information I12 and outputs the progress information I12 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the progress information I12 (step S143).

[0111] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 updates the case management table of Fig. 21 based on the progress information I12 (step S144). More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 records the progress indicated by the progress information I12 in the progress 100 column. This completes the progress management process and the reward generation process.

[0112] Although the progress management process and reward generation process of seller terminal 310-1 have been described above, at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M each execute the progress management process and reward generation process. Therefore, at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M transmit one or more pieces of progress information I12 to server 110. Then, control device 112 of server 110 acquires one or more pieces of progress information I12 from at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M.

[0113] (7) Remuneration calculation process Next, the details of the remuneration calculation process will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 25 is a flowchart of the remuneration calculation process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1. Fig. 26 and Fig. 27 show images displayed on the display 320 of the seller terminal 310-1.

[0114] First, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 displays the tally condition input video of FIG. 26 on the display 320 (step S111). The tally condition input video is a video for the seller B-1 to input the tally conditions for tallying the first remuneration H1. The first remuneration H1 is a remuneration to be paid by the seller B-1 (the first seller who manages the first seller terminal among the multiple seller terminals). The tally condition input video includes a column for period 151, a column for progress 152, a column for product name 153, a column for seller name 154, a column for agency name 155, and a column for introduction form 156. The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 to input the period 151, the progress 152, the product name 153, the seller name 154, the agency name 155, and the introduction form 156 in the tally condition input video. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires tallying condition information I14 indicating conditions for tallying the first remuneration H1 (step S112). The tallying condition information I14 includes a period 151 which is information for identifying a period, a progress of sales activities for the product 152, a product name 153 which is information for identifying the product, a seller name 154 which is information for identifying the seller (first seller), an agency name 155 which is information for identifying the agency (first agency), and an introduction form 156.

[0115] Next, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the tallying condition information I14 to the server 110 via the network interface 316 (step S113). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the tallying condition information I14 and outputs the tallying condition information I14 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 (the tallying condition information acquiring means 128) acquires the tallying condition information I14 from the seller terminal 310-1 (first seller terminal) (step S101).

[0116] Next, the control device 112 (remuneration determination means 124) of the server 110 determines the first remuneration H1 based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 (one or more pieces of remuneration condition information I2 and one or more pieces of progress information I12) recorded in the case management table of Fig. 21 and the tallying condition information I14 (step S102). More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 determines the remuneration amount 99 of one or more pieces of case information I10 that meets the tallying condition indicated by the tallying condition information I14 from among the one or more pieces of case information I10 recorded in the case management table of Fig. 21 as the first remuneration H1. In this embodiment, the tallying condition information I14 includes the period 151, the progress 152, the seller name 154, and the agency name 155. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 specifies the first remuneration H1 that corresponds to the period 151 specified by the tallying condition information I14, satisfies the condition of the progress 152 of the item related to the sales activity of the product in the tallying condition information I14, corresponds to the seller specified by the tallying condition information I14, and corresponds to the agency specified by the tallying condition information I14. The tallying conditions are that the period 151 is "January 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024", the progress 152 is "paid", the seller name 154 is A Co., Ltd. (seller B-1), and the agency name 155 is B Co., Ltd. (agency P-1). Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 identifies the remuneration amount 99 for one or more case information I10 whose occurrence date and time are included in "January 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024", whose progress is "paid", whose seller name 154 is "A Co., Ltd. (Seller B-1)", and whose agency name 155 is "B Co., Ltd. (Agency P-1)" as the first remuneration H1.

[0117] Next, the control device 112 (reward information transmission control means 126) of the server 110 transmits the first reward information I15 indicating the first reward H1 to the seller terminal 310-1 (first seller terminal) via the network interface 116 (step S103). As described above, the first reward H1 is the reward amount 99 included in one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions. Therefore, one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions include the first reward H1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions as the first reward information I15 to the seller terminal 310-1 via the network interface 116. In response, the network interface 316 of the seller terminal 310-1 receives the first reward information I15 and outputs the first reward information I15 to the control device 312. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 (first seller terminal) acquires the first remuneration information I15 (step S114).

[0118] Next, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 (first seller terminal) displays the tally result video (see FIG. 27) including the first remuneration information I15 on the display 320 (step S115). More specifically, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 describes the details of one or more cases and the total amount of the first remuneration H1 in the tally result video based on one or more case information I10 included in the first remuneration information I15. This allows the seller B-1 to know the first remuneration H1 deposited between January 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024.

[0119] [effect] According to the server 110, the seller B-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1. More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires one or more pieces of remuneration condition information I2 from at least some of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M, and acquires one or more pieces of progress information I12 from at least some of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to manage the remuneration condition information I2 related to the remuneration generation conditions and the progress information I12 related to the progress of the case. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 can specify the first remuneration H1 to be paid by the seller B-1 who manages the seller terminal 310-1 of the multiple seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M, based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 recorded in the case management table of FIG. 21. As a result, according to the server 110, the seller B-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1.

[0120] According to the server 110, the seller B-1 can know the first remuneration H1 that meets the tallying conditions desired by the seller. More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the tallying conditions information I14 from the seller terminal 310-1. The tallying conditions information I14 indicates the conditions for tallying the first remuneration H1. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the first remuneration H1 based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 (one or more pieces of remuneration condition information I2 and one or more pieces of progress information I12) recorded in the case management table of FIG. 21 and the tallying conditions information I14. As a result, according to the server 110, the seller B-1 can know the first remuneration H1 that meets the tallying conditions desired by the seller.

[0121] According to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 is complicated, the seller B-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1. In the lead introduction, the agency introduces the customer to the seller without specifying the product. In the agency introduction, the agency introduces the customer to the seller with the product specified. In this way, the burden of the agency's sales activities is different between the lead introduction and the agency introduction. Therefore, the remuneration for the lead introduction and the agency introduction are different. Therefore, the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 becomes complicated. Therefore, the remuneration condition information I2 includes information indicating the lead introduction or the agency introduction. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 can specify the first remuneration H1 based on the remuneration condition information I2 indicating the lead introduction or the agency introduction. As described above, according to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 is complicated, the seller B-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1.

[0122] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information identifying the seller B-1 (first seller). This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the first remuneration H1 corresponding to the seller B-1 identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the seller B-1 can know the first remuneration H1 from the seller B-1.

[0123] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information identifying the agent P-1 (first agent). This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the first remuneration H1 corresponding to the agent P-1 identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the seller B-1 can know the first remuneration H1 from the agent P-1.

[0124] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information for identifying the period. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the first remuneration H1 that will be generated during the period identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the seller B-1 can know the first remuneration H1 that will be generated during the period identified by the tallying condition information I14.

[0125] (First Modification) Next, the system 1a according to the first modified example will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 28 is a flow chart showing the remuneration calculation process executed by the control device 112 of the server 110 and the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1.

[0126] The system 1a differs from the system 1 in that the agent P-1 can easily know the second remuneration H2 to be paid to the agent P-1. The system 1a will be described below, focusing on this difference.

[0127] Details of the remuneration calculation process of the system 1a will be described with reference to the drawings. The control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 displays the tallying condition input video of FIG. 26 on the display 220 (step S131). The tallying condition input video is a video for the agency P-1 to input the tallying conditions for tallying the second remuneration H2. The second remuneration H2 is a remuneration to be paid to the agency P-1 (the first agency that manages the first agency terminal among the multiple agency terminals). The tallying condition input video includes a column for period 151, a column for progress 152, a column for product name 153, a column for seller name 154, a column for agency name 155, and a column for introduction form 156. The seller B-1 operates the operation unit 326 to input the period 151, the progress 152, the product name 153, the seller name 154, the agency name 155, and the introduction form 156 in the tallying condition input video. As a result, the control device 312 of the seller terminal 310-1 acquires the tallying condition information I14 indicating the conditions for tallying the first remuneration H1 (step S132). The tallying condition information I14 includes a period 151 which is information for identifying a period, a progress of sales activities for the product 152, a product name 153 which is information for identifying the product, a seller name 154 which is information for identifying the seller (first seller), an agency name 155 which is information for identifying the agency (first agency), and an introduction form 156.

[0128] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 transmits the tallying condition information I14 to the server 110 via the network interface 216 (step S133). In response, the network interface 116 of the server 110 receives the tallying condition information I14 and outputs the tallying condition information I14 to the control device 112. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the tallying condition information I14 from the agency terminal 210-1 (second seller terminal) (step S121).

[0129] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 specifies the second remuneration H2 based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 (one or more pieces of remuneration condition information I2 and one or more pieces of progress information I12) recorded in the case management table of Fig. 21 and the tallying condition information I14 (step S122). More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 specifies the remuneration amount 99 of one or more pieces of case information I10 that meets the tallying condition indicated by the tallying condition information I14 from among the one or more pieces of case information I10 recorded in the case management table of Fig. 21 as the second remuneration H2. In this embodiment, the tallying condition information I14 includes the period 151, the progress 152, the seller name 154, and the agency name 155. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 specifies the second remuneration H2 that corresponds to the period 151 specified by the tallying condition information I14, satisfies the condition of the progress 152 of the item related to the sales activity of the product in the tallying condition information I14, corresponds to the seller specified by the tallying condition information I14, and corresponds to the agency specified by the tallying condition information I14. The tallying conditions are that the period 151 is "January 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024", the progress 152 is "paid", the seller name 154 is A Co., Ltd. (seller B-1), and the agency name 155 is B Co., Ltd. (agency P-1). Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 identifies the remuneration amount 99 for one or more case information I10 whose occurrence date and time are included in "January 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024", whose progress is "paid", whose seller name 154 is "A Co., Ltd. (Seller B-1)", and whose agency name 155 is "B Co., Ltd. (Agency P-1)" as the second remuneration H2.

[0130] Next, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits the second remuneration information I16 indicating the second remuneration H2 to the agency terminal 210-1 (first agency terminal) via the network interface 116 (step S123). As described above, the second remuneration H2 is the remuneration amount 99 included in the one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions. Therefore, the one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions include the second remuneration H2. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control device 112 of the server 110 transmits the one or more pieces of case information I10 that meet the tallying conditions as the second remuneration information I16 to the agency terminal 210-1 via the network interface 116. In response, the network interface 216 of the agency terminal 210-1 receives the second remuneration information I16 and outputs the second remuneration information I16 to the control device 212. As a result, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 acquires the second remuneration information I16 (step S134).

[0131] Next, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 (first agency terminal) displays the tally result video including the second remuneration information I16 on the display 220 (step S135). More specifically, the control device 212 of the agency terminal 210-1 describes the details of one or more cases and the total amount of the second remuneration H2 in the tally result video based on one or more case information I10 included in the second remuneration information I16. This allows the agency P-1 to know the second remuneration H2 deposited between January 1, 2024 and June 1, 2024. The other configurations of the system 1a are the same as those of the system 1, so explanations will be omitted.

[0132] According to the server 110, the agent P-1 can easily know the second remuneration H2. More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires one or more pieces of remuneration condition information I2 from at least some of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M, and acquires one or more pieces of progress information I12 from at least some of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to manage the remuneration condition information I2 related to the remuneration generation conditions and the progress information I12 related to the progress of the case. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 can specify the second remuneration H2 to be paid to the agent P-1 who manages the agent terminal 210-1 of the multiple agent terminals 210-1 to 210-N, based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 recorded in the case management table of FIG. 21. As a result, according to the server 110, the agent P-1 can easily know the second remuneration H2.

[0133] According to the server 110, the agent P-1 can know the second remuneration H2 that meets the tallying conditions desired by the agent P-1. More specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires the tallying conditions information I14 from the agency terminal 210-1. The tallying conditions information I14 indicates the conditions for tallying the second remuneration H2. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the second remuneration H2 based on a part of one or more pieces of case information I10 recorded in the case management table of FIG. 21 and the tallying conditions information I14. As a result, according to the server 110, the agent P-1 can know the second remuneration H2 that meets the tallying conditions desired by the agent P-1.

[0134] According to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the agent P-1 can easily know the second remuneration H2. In the lead introduction, the agent introduces the customer to the seller without specifying the product. In the agency introduction, the agent introduces the customer to the seller with the product specified. In this way, the burden of the sales activity of the agent is different between the lead introduction and the agency introduction. Therefore, the remuneration for the lead introduction and the remuneration for the agency introduction are different. Therefore, the calculation process of the second remuneration H2 becomes complicated. Therefore, the remuneration condition information I2 includes information indicating the lead introduction or the agency introduction. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 can specify the second remuneration H2 based on the remuneration condition information I2 indicating the lead introduction or the agency introduction. Therefore, according to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the agent P-1 can easily know the second remuneration H2.

[0135] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information for identifying the seller B-1. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the second remuneration H2 corresponding to the seller B-1 identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the agent P-1 can know the second remuneration H2 from the seller B-1.

[0136] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information identifying the agent P-1. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the second remuneration H2 corresponding to the agent P-1 identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the agent P-1 can know the second remuneration H2 by the agent P-1.

[0137] In the server 110, the tallying condition information I14 includes information for identifying the period. This allows the control device 112 of the server 110 to identify the second remuneration H2 that will be generated during the period identified by the tallying condition information I14. As a result, the agency P-1 can know the second remuneration H2 that will be generated during the period identified by the tallying condition information I14.

[0138] (Second Modification) Next, a system 1b according to a second modified example will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 29 is a diagram showing a product table. Fig. 30 is a diagram showing an agency management table. Fig. 31 is a diagram showing a case management table.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 29 to FIG. 31, the system 1b differs from the system 1 and 1a in that the reward condition information I2 includes the campaigns 61, 89, and 201. The campaigns 61, 89, and 201 are settings in which rewards for matters related to the sales activities of the product by the agency P-1 change when a predetermined condition is met. More specifically, the campaigns 61, 89, and 201 include a period and contents. Then, when the progress 100 of the case information I10 in FIG. 31 meets the reward condition 96 within the period of the campaigns 61, 89, and 201, rewards according to the contents of the campaigns 61, 89, and 201 are generated. In this embodiment, the campaigns 61, 89, and 201 are described as "January 1, 2024 to August 31, 2024, 10% increase in rewards." In the case information I10 in the top row of FIG. 31, the progress 100 is "contracted on August 30, 2024." Therefore, the progress 100 of the project information I10 at the top of Fig. 31 satisfies the conditions of the campaign 201. Therefore, the remuneration amount 99 of the project information I10 at the top of Fig. 31 is the amount described in the remuneration condition 96 plus a 10% incentive. Note that other configurations of system 1b are the same as those of system 1, so explanations will be omitted.

[0140] The system 1b can achieve the same effects as the systems 1 and 1a.

[0141] According to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the seller B-1 or the agent P-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2. The campaigns 61, 89, and 201 are settings in which the remuneration for matters related to the sales activities of the product by the agent P-1 changes when the agent P-1 (first agent) meets a predetermined condition. Therefore, the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 becomes complicated. Therefore, the remuneration condition information I2 includes the campaigns 61, 89, and 201. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 can identify the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 based on the remuneration condition information I2 indicating the campaign 201. Therefore, according to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the seller B-1 or the agent P-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2.

[0142] (Third Modification) Next, a system 1c according to a third modified example will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 32 is a diagram showing a product table. Fig. 33 is a diagram showing an agency management table. Fig. 34 is a diagram showing a case management table.

[0143] As shown in Figs. 32 to 34, the system 1c differs from the systems 1 and 1a in that the remuneration condition information I2 includes the incentives 62, 90, and 202. The incentives 62, 90, and 202 are settings that change the remuneration depending on the sales activity performance of the agent for the product. More specifically, the incentives 62, 90, and 202 include conditions for changing the remuneration. Then, when the remuneration amount 99 in the case information I10 in Fig. 34 satisfies the conditions of the incentives 62, 90, and 202, the remuneration amount 99 increases based on the description of the incentives 62, 90, and 202. In this embodiment, the incentives 62, 90, and 202 are described as "5% incentive if the contract amount is 10,000,000 yen or more." Therefore, in the case information I10 in the top row of Fig. 34, the remuneration amount 99 is "1,000,000 yen." Therefore, the progress 100 of the case information I10 in the top row of Fig. 34 satisfies the condition of the incentive 202. Therefore, the remuneration amount 99 of the case information I10 in the top row of Fig. 34 is the amount described in the remuneration condition 96 plus a 5% incentive. Note that other configurations of system 1c are the same as those of systems 1 and 1a, so explanations will be omitted.

[0144] The system 1c can achieve the same effects as the systems 1 and 1a.

[0145] According to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the seller B-1 or the agent P-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2. The incentives 62, 90, and 202 are set so that the remuneration changes depending on the sales activity performance of the agent's product. Therefore, the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 becomes complicated. Therefore, the remuneration condition information I2 includes the incentives 62, 90, and 202. As a result, the control device 112 of the server 110 can specify the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 based on the remuneration condition information I2 indicating the incentive 202. Therefore, according to the server 110, even if the calculation process of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 is complicated, the seller B-1 or the agent P-1 can easily know the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2.

[0146] (Other embodiments) The server according to the present invention is not limited to the server 110 of the systems 1, 1a to 1c, and may be modified within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the configurations of the systems 1, 1a to 1c may be combined in any manner.

[0147] In systems 1, 1a to 1c, control device 112 of server 110 acquires one or more pieces of reward condition information I2 from at least some of seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M. However, control device 112 of server 110 may acquire one or more pieces of reward condition information I2 from at least some of agency terminals 210-1 to 210-N. In other words, at least some of agency terminals 210-1 to 210-N may transmit one or more pieces of reward condition information I2 to server 110.

[0148] In systems 1, 1a to 1c, the control device 112 of the server 110 acquires one or more pieces of progress information I12 from at least some of the seller terminals 310-1 to 310-M. However, the control device 112 of the server 110 may acquire one or more pieces of progress information I12 from at least some of the agency terminals 210-1 to 210-N. In other words, at least some of the agency terminals of the multiple agency terminals 210-1 to 210-N may transmit one or more pieces of progress information I12 to the server 110.

[0149] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the control device 112 of the server 110 may transmit the first remuneration information I15 to the agency terminal 210-1, and may transmit the second remuneration information I16 to the seller terminal 310-1.

[0150] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the tallying condition information I14 includes information for identifying a product. Therefore, the control device 112 of the server 110 may identify the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2 corresponding to the product identified by the tallying condition information I14.

[0151] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the sellers B-1 to BM can arbitrarily set the reward conditions 58 in the reward condition information I2. Therefore, the reward conditions 58 in the reward condition information I2 are not limited to the numerical values ​​exemplified in the systems 1, 1a to 1c.

[0152] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the tally condition input image in FIG. 26 includes a field for period 151. The seller B-1 or the agent P-1 inputs the desired period into the field for period 151 using a keyboard. However, the field for period 151 may be a pull-down input section that allows the selection of, for example, "month" or "year." This allows the seller B-1 or the agent P-1 to easily check the first remuneration H1 or the second remuneration H2 on a monthly or annual basis.

[0153] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the seller B-1 may rank the agent P-1. The rank is determined by the seller B-1 based on the past performance of the agent P-1, for example. The past performance of the agent P-1 may be the amount of sales of the agent P-1's products, the length of time the agent P-1 has been acting as the agent for the seller B-1, etc. The rank may be expressed by letters such as S, A, B, etc., or by numbers such as 1, 2, 3, etc. The higher the rank, the higher the commission. The higher the commission includes a higher commission paid for the introduction of one customer in the lead introduction, and a higher commission (commission rate) paid for the sale of one product in the lead introduction and the intermediary introduction. Such a rank is recorded in the agent management table of FIG. 18 and the case management table of FIG. 21. Furthermore, instead of a rank being set for the agent P-1, a rank may be set for the product for which the agent P-1 is acting as the agent for sales. That is, the rank may be set for the combination of the agent P-1 and the product. The rank may be set by the seller B-1, or may be automatically set by the control device 112 of the server 110.

[0154] The rank does not have to depend on the past performance of the agent P-1. That is, the rank may be determined by the seller B-1.

[0155] In system 1b, campaign 201 may be run against a sales representative for a specific product, or against a sales representative for a specific seller. If campaign 201 is run against a sales representative for a specific product, campaign 201 includes information about the specific product. If campaign 201 is run against a sales representative for a specific seller, campaign 201 includes information about the specific seller.

[0156] In addition, in the systems 1, 1a to 1c, sales agency work may be carried out for a set product that is a combination of multiple products. The remuneration when a case involving a set product arises may be different from the remuneration when a case involving multiple products arises separately. For example, the remuneration when a case involving a set product arises is higher than the remuneration when a case involving multiple products arises separately. The remuneration when a case involving a set product arises is recorded in the remuneration condition 96 column.

[0157] The method of calculating the remuneration amount 99 is not limited to the calculation method of the systems 1, 1a to 1c. The control device 112 of the server 110 may calculate the remuneration amount 99 by multiplying the remuneration paid for the sale of one product by the number of products sold. Also, a special remuneration may be set for the sale of one specific product. The special remuneration is described in the remuneration conditions 96 of the case information I10. The control device 112 of the server 110 may calculate the remuneration amount 99 by multiplying the special remuneration described in the case information I10 by the number of products sold.

[0158] The control device 112 of the server 110 may calculate the remuneration in units of a certain amount of sales. Specifically, the control device 112 of the server 110 may generate a predetermined remuneration when the agent P-1 introduces a predetermined number of customers to the seller B-1, or may generate a predetermined remuneration when the amount of sales by the customers introduced by the agent P-1 to the seller B-1 exceeds a predetermined amount.

[0159] The control device 112 of the server 110 may determine whether or not a special remuneration is set for the sale of one specific product based on the case information I10. If a special remuneration is not set for the sale of one specific product, the control device 112 of the server 110 calculates the remuneration using a normal calculation method. In this case, the storage device 114 of the server 110 stores the remuneration for the sale of one product for each of multiple products. In the normal calculation method, the control device 112 of the server 110 calculates the remuneration by multiplying the number of products sold by the agent P-1 by the remuneration for the sale of one product.

[0160] A special reward for the sale of one particular product may be set for each of the agents P-1 to PM.

[0161] If the introduction type 95 of the remuneration condition information I2 is an agency introduction, the control device 112 of the server 110 may calculate the remuneration based on the performance information indicating the number of products sold by the agent P-1 and the remuneration condition 96 indicating the remuneration for the sale of one product. The control device 112 of the server 110 obtains the performance information from the agent terminal 210-1 or the seller terminal 310-1.

[0162] In addition, when the introduction form 95 of the remuneration condition information I2 is a lead introduction, the agent P-1 introduces a customer to the store B-1, and then the store B-1 sells the product to the customer. In this case, the control device 112 of the server 110 may calculate the remuneration based on the performance information indicating the number of products sold to customers by the store B-1 and the remuneration condition 96 indicating the remuneration for the sale of one product.

[0163] If the performance information of the agent P-1 satisfies a predetermined condition, the control device 112 of the server 110 may grant a special reward to the agent P-1. In this case, the storage device 114 of the server 110 stores special reward calculation conditions for calculating the special reward. Then, the storage device 114 of the server 110 calculates the special reward based on the special reward calculation conditions and the performance information.

[0164] In the systems 1, 1a, and 1b, the tallying condition information I14 is not essential. The control device 112 of the server 110 may specify the first reward H1 or the second reward H2 based on at least a part of the reward condition information of one or more reward condition information I2 and at least a part of the progress information of one or more progress information, and may specify the first reward H1 or the second reward H2 based on at least a part of the reward condition information of one or more reward condition information I2 and at least a part of the progress information of one or more progress information I12.

[0165] In the system 1, the control device 112 of the server 110 may acquire one or more pieces of existing customer information from an external server via an API (Application Programming Interface). The existing customer information is, for example, various types of customer information, sales information, sales performance (sales information), various sales materials, contract information, sales records, progress information, analysis information, and the like. This allows the agent P-1 to check the existing customer information stored in the external server. Therefore, the agent P-1 can obtain more existing customer information.

[0166] In the system 1, the seller terminal 310-1 may update the existing customer information stored in the external server by accessing the external server via an API. Specifically, the seller terminal 310-1 transmits the progress information I12 to the external server instead of transmitting the progress information I12 to the server 110. Then, the external server updates the existing customer information based on the progress information I12.

[0167] The first remuneration amount paid by the seller B-1 to the sales agency by the agent P-1 may not be the same as the second remuneration amount acquired by the agent P-1 to the sales agency by the agent P-1. Specifically, the agent P-1 pays the first remuneration amount to the administrator of the system 1. The administrator of the system 1 pays the second remuneration amount, which is the first remuneration amount minus the management fee, to the seller B-1. In this case, the first remuneration amount is described in the remuneration conditions 70 input by the seller terminal 310-1 in the registration process of (1). Meanwhile, the second remuneration amount is described in the search result image of the product search process of (2). Thus, the server 110 stores information on the management fee. The server 110 calculates the second remuneration amount based on the remuneration conditions 70 and the information on the management fee. Then, in step S24, the server 110 transmits the search result information I4 including the second remuneration amount to the agent terminal 210-1. The management fee may be a fixed amount or may be a predetermined percentage of the first remuneration amount. That is, if the management fee is a fixed amount, the information on the management fee indicates the amount. If the management fee is an amount that is a predetermined percentage of the first remuneration, the information on the management fee indicates the predetermined percentage. Note that instead of storing information on the management fee, the server 110 may store information on the second remuneration amount.

[0168] The seller B-1 may hold a campaign. A campaign is an event in which the first remuneration amount described in the remuneration condition 70 and the second remuneration amount described in the product search image are temporarily increased. The conditions of the campaign are, for example, introducing a customer in a predetermined period, selling a predetermined number of products in a predetermined period, introducing a customer who purchases the first product and the second product as a set, being the first 100 people, etc. When it is not a campaign period, the first remuneration amount is set to 30,000 yen, and the second remuneration amount is set to 20,000 yen. The management fee is 10,000 yen. When it is a campaign period, the first remuneration amount is set to 40,000 yen, and the second remuneration amount is set to 30,000 yen. The management fee is 10,000 yen. Therefore, the server 110 stores the remuneration condition 70 (first remuneration amount) during the campaign period. Furthermore, the server 110 stores information regarding the management fee. The management fee during the campaign period is the same as the management fee outside the campaign period. The server 110 calculates the second remuneration amount based on the remuneration conditions 70 and the information on the management fee. Then, in step S24, the server 110 transmits search result information I4 including the second remuneration amount to the agency terminal 210-1. As a result, the second remuneration amount is described in the search result image of the product search process (2). The management fee may be a fixed amount or an amount that is a predetermined ratio to the first remuneration amount. The server 110 may store information on the second remuneration amount instead of storing information on the management fee. Furthermore, in step S97, the server 110 generates remuneration information I13 using the information on the management fee. The agencies that are the target of the campaign may be limited to agencies that satisfy the predetermined conditions.

[0169] The administrator of the system 1 may hold a campaign. A campaign is an event in which the first remuneration amount described in the remuneration condition 70 and the second remuneration amount described in the product search image are temporarily increased. The conditions of the campaign are, for example, that the agency has high sales in a predetermined period, that the agency has a high rank, and the like. An agency with a high rank is an agency with annual sales of a predetermined amount or more. In this case, the administrator of the system 1 bears the remuneration amount increased by the campaign. When the campaign period is not in progress, the first remuneration amount is set to 30,000 yen, and the second remuneration amount is set to 20,000 yen. The management fee is 10,000 yen. When the campaign period is in progress, the first remuneration amount is set to 30,000 yen, and the second remuneration amount is set to 25,000 yen. The management fee is 5,000 yen. Therefore, the server 110 stores information on the management fee during the campaign period. The management fee during the campaign period is different from the management fee outside the campaign period. The server 110 calculates the second remuneration amount based on the remuneration condition 70 and the information on the management fee. Then, in step S24, server 110 transmits search result information I4 including the second remuneration amount to agency terminal 210-1. As a result, (2) the second remuneration amount is described in the search result image of the product search process. The management fee may be a fixed amount or may be an amount that is a predetermined percentage of the first remuneration amount. Server 110 may store information regarding the second remuneration amount instead of storing information regarding the management fee. Furthermore, in step S97, server 110 generates remuneration information I13 using the information regarding the management fee.

[0170] The sellers B-1 to BM may be wholesalers. In this case, the wholesalers purchase products from multiple manufacturers. The agents P-1 to PN act as sales agents for the products sold by the wholesalers.

[0171] In addition, the agents P-1 to PN may be second- or third-tier agents. In this case, the first-tier agents may be the sellers B-1 to BM and the second-tier agents may be the agents P-1 to PN, or the second-tier agents may be the sellers B-1 to BM and the third-tier agents may be the agents P-1 to PN. In addition, the manufacturer may be the sellers B-1 to BM and the first or third-tier agents may be the agents P-1 to PN. When the agents P-1 to PN are second or third-tier agents, the calculation of the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 becomes complicated. Therefore, by using the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the first remuneration H1 and the second remuneration H2 can be easily calculated.

[0172] In the product search process, the agent P-1 may search for sellers B-1 to BM instead of products by operating the agent terminal 210-1. In this case, the storage device 114 of the server 110 stores information on the sellers B-1 to BM. Then, the control device 112 of the server 110 searches for sellers based on the search condition information I3 acquired from the agent terminal 210-1. At this time, the information on the sellers B-1 to BM may include product registration information I1. This allows the agent P-1 to know, via the agent terminal 210-1, the product registration information I1 sold by the sellers in the search result.

[0173] In addition, the conditions for a change in rewards in incentives 62, 90, 202 of system 1c may be that the number of customer referrals exceeds a predetermined number (e.g., 100), the number of concluded deals (the number of products sold or the number of contract IDs for the products) exceeds a predetermined number, the number of first and second products introduced or sold as a set exceeds a predetermined number, etc.

[0174] In the systems 1, 1a to 1c, the matching process is not essential. Therefore, when a contract on sales agency is concluded between the agent P-1 and the seller B-1, the customer inquiry process, the progress update process, the remuneration generation process, and the remuneration calculation process may be executed without going through the matching process.

[0175] In steps S94 and S95, the seller B-1 updates the progress of the case information I10. However, the progress of the case information I10 may be updated by the agent P-1. In this case, the agent terminal 210-1 transmits the progress information I12 to the server 110 in response to the operation of the agent P-1. [Explanation of symbols]
