Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In an EC service, when holding products for sale as inventory and accepting purchases of products before shipping, there are risks of unsold inventory and the trouble of inventory management. On the other hand, in drop-shipping where products are procured and shipped after accepting purchases of products, it takes time to grasp the inventory of products from the procurement source and is not easy to manage. Also, when conducting export sales, it is not easy to judge and manage each product, such as providing a translated text for product description and determining a sales price considering various costs related to export.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a sales management system, a sales management method, and a sales management program that facilitate the product listing management of sellers in a cross-border EC service of drop-shipping.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The sales management system relating to this disclosure comprises a communication unit that communicates with a domestic sales system and an export sales system, a storage unit that stores additional information for describing products, and a control unit. The control unit acquires product-related information from the domestic sales system via the communication unit, adds the additional information set in advance by the seller to the product-related information, automatically translates the product-related information into a language selected by the seller, and inserts the product-related information, to which the additional information has been added and which has been automatically translated, into the product description field that is viewed by foreign customers in the export sales system.

[0007] The sales management method relating to this disclosure is a sales management method using a product sales management system, wherein the sales management system acquires product-related information from a domestic sales system, adds additional information pre-set by the seller to the product-related information, automatically translates the product-related information into a language selected by the seller, and inserts the product-related information, to which the additional information has been added and which has been automatically translated, into the product description field viewed by foreign customers in the export sales system.

[0008] The sales management program relating to this disclosure is a sales management program for causing a computer to perform sales management of products, and includes the steps of: acquiring product-related information from a domestic sales system; adding additional information predetermined by the seller to the product-related information; automatically translating the product-related information into a language selected by the seller; and inserting the product-related information, to which the additional information has been added and which has been automatically translated, into the product description field viewed by foreign customers in an export sales system. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to this disclosure, it is possible to provide a sales management system, sales management method, and sales management program that facilitate sellers' listing management in cross-border e-commerce services that do not require inventory. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0010] [Figure 1] This is an overall diagram of the sales system. [Figure 2] This is a diagram illustrating the data structure for additional information and price calculation requirements. [Figure 3] This is the settings screen for the sales management system. [Figure 4] This is the settings screen for the sales management system. [Figure 5] This is the settings screen for the sales management system. [Figure 6] This is the settings screen for the sales management system. [Figure 7] This is a control flowchart for a sales management system. [Figure 8] This figure shows an example of a frame image. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the sales system 1. The sales system 1 comprises a domestic sales system 2, an export sales system 4, and a sales management system 6.

[0012] Domestic Sales System 2 is an e-commerce (EC) sales system in which a primary seller P1 in Japan sells goods to a customer P2 also in Japan. In Domestic Sales System 2, for example, the storage location of goods managed by seller P1 and customer P2 are located in Japan. In the case of Japan, seller P1 is a Japanese individual or corporation, and in many cases, a warehouse in Japan managed by seller P1 or Domestic Sales System 2 is used as the storage location for goods. When customer P2 in Japan uses their customer terminal 32 to purchase any product through Domestic Sales System 2 (an EC site operated by Domestic Sales System 2), including payment processing, Domestic Sales System 2 ships the ordered goods to the address specified by customer P2 on behalf of seller P1, thus completing the sales transaction. Seller P1 can check the order information via seller terminal 31. Alternatively, seller P1 may manage the shipping and ship the ordered goods from a warehouse managed by seller P1 to customer P2's address.

[0013] Export sales system 4 is a cross-border sales system for goods using e-commerce, in which a domestic seller P3 sells goods to a foreign customer P4 via a seller terminal 52, etc. In export sales system 4, for example, seller P3, the storage location of goods managed by seller P3, and the storage location of goods managed by export sales system 4 are located in Japan, while the customer P4 who purchases the goods is located in a foreign country. In many cases, seller P1 and seller P3 are the same person, and seller terminals 31 and 32 are the same terminal. However, in cases where they are in different departments within a corporation, or where they are operated by multiple corporations in the same group, seller P1 and seller P3 and seller terminals 31 and 32 are shown as separate entities in Figure 1. When selling Japanese goods to a foreign customer P4, seller P3 is a Japanese individual or corporation, and a warehouse in Japan managed by seller P3 is used as the storage location for the goods. When a foreign customer P4 uses their customer terminal 51 to purchase (pay for) any product through the export sales system 4 (an e-commerce site operated by the export sales system 4), the seller P3 confirms the order information via the seller terminal 52, retrieves the product from a warehouse managed by the domestic sales system 2, attaches a sticker or label suitable for the import sales system 4, and ships the product to a warehouse in Japan managed by the import sales system 4. Upon receiving the product, the import sales system 4 ships it from its warehouse to the address specified by customer P4, thus completing the sales transaction.

[0014] In the configuration shown in Figure 1, if the sellers in the domestic sales system 2 and the export sales system 4 are the same, the seller in the export sales system 4 (e.g., seller P1) may confirm order information via the same seller terminal (e.g., seller terminal 31), retrieve the goods from the warehouse of the domestic sales system 2, and then have the goods shipped via the warehouse of the import sales system 4 to the address specified by customer P4, thereby completing the sales transaction. Alternatively, the goods may be sent from a domestic warehouse managed by seller P1 to a domestic warehouse managed by the import sales system 4, and the import sales system 4 may ship the goods to the address of customer P4 in a foreign country. For example, customer P4 may have an address in the Kingdom of Thailand, and the import sales system 4 may function as a platform for exporting Japanese goods to the Kingdom of Thailand. Furthermore, the import sales system 4 may be a platform suitable for cross-border e-commerce to various countries such as Taiwan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. For example, the export sales system 4 may be Shopee®. Furthermore, for example, domestic sales system 2 could be amazon.co.jp (registered trademark), Rakuten Ichiba (registered trademark), or Yahoo! Shopping. If domestic sales system 2 is amazon.co.jp, there is a system called FBA (registered trademark, Fulfillment by Amazon) where seller P1 stores inventory in amazon.co.jp's warehouses, and when an order is placed, amazon.co.jp ships the product on behalf of seller P1.

[0015] The sales management system 6 is a system for assisting or managing the export and sale of products registered in the domestic sales system 2 to foreign countries via the export sales system 4. Since the domestic sales system 2 and the export sales system 4 are separate systems, it is necessary to separately export the products. This is a very laborious task for sellers P1 and P3. Therefore, for products sold in the domestic sales system 2, the product sales page used in the domestic sales system 2 is utilized to create the product sales page of the export sales system 4, and it has a function to streamline the creation of the product sales page in the export sales system 4. The sales management system 6 is composed of one or more devices and is managed by seller P5. Seller P5 may be the same person as one or both of sellers P1 and P3 or a different person, but in this embodiment, seller P5 is the same person as both sellers P1 and P3. In this embodiment, the device of the sales management system 6 assumes a personal computer, but any device such as a smartphone, tablet, PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), server, etc. can be used.

[0016] The sales management system 6 includes a control unit 61, an input unit 62, an output unit 63, a communication unit 64 that communicates with the domestic sales system 2 and the export sales system 4, and a storage unit 65.

[0017] The control unit 61 is a processor, and for example, a central processing unit (CPU), micro-processing unit (MPU), GPU, microcontroller unit (MCU), processor core, multi-processor, ASIC, FPGA, etc. can be applied.

[0018] The input unit 62 is mainly an input device for seller P5, who is the user of the sales management system 6, to input instructions. The input unit 62 is, for example, a keyboard, mouse, sound collection unit (microphone), imaging unit (camera), etc.

[0019] The output unit 63 is mainly an output device through which the sales management system 6 transmits information to the user. The output unit 63 is, for example, a display, a sound output unit (speaker), etc.

[0020] The storage unit 65 stores a sales management program 651, product-related information 652, additional information 653, and price calculation requirements 654. The storage unit 65 is realized by various non-transitory storage media such as HDDs, SSDs, and flash memories.

[0021] In FIG. 1, as an example of the information stored in the storage unit 65, the sales management program 651, product-related information 652, additional information 653, and price calculation requirements 654 are shown, and other information is omitted from the illustration. However, the storage unit 65 of the present embodiment can store various setting data and setting values input or selected on the setting screens D1 to D4 described later. Further, the storage unit 65 may store not only the sales management program 651 but also other programs and data that operate in the sales management system 6.

[0022] The sales management program 651 is a program for causing the computer of the sales management system 6 to execute the sales management method described later. The additional information 653 stores information for explaining the product.

[0023] FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the additional information 653 and the price calculation requirements 654. The additional information 653 includes a frame image 653a, a fixed text 653b, and a selling price 653c. Further, the fixed text 653b includes a product name fixed text added to the product name and a product description fixed text added to the product description.

[0024] The selling price 653c is information indicating the selling price of the product calculated using the price calculation requirements 654.

[0025] The pricing requirement 654 includes two or more of the following: sales commission 654a, settlement fee 654b, FSS / CCB fee 654c, discount rate 654d, voucher discount rate 654e, target profit margin 654f, and fixed costs 654g. Each piece of information for the pricing requirement 654 is pre-registered by the user.

[0026] The sales commission 654a is a fee incurred when using the sales management system 6, based on the sales price of the product. The settlement fee 654b is a fee related to payment processing. The FSS / CCB fee 654c is a fee incurred when using the free shipping program (a sales promotion measure that offers free shipping to consumers when purchasing products) and the coin cashback program (a sales promotion measure that returns the purchase cost to the buyer in the form of points).

[0027] The sales commission 654a, settlement commission 654b, and FSS / CCB commission 654c are fees incurred by users of the sales management system 6 for using each service; therefore, the applicable fees are set according to whether or not the service is used.

[0028] The discount rate 654d is the discount rate applied when selling a product. The voucher discount rate 654e is the discount rate applied to the sales price when a follow voucher is followed up on. A follow voucher is a discount rate applied when a seller selling a product using the sales management system 6 is followed up on by a customer.

[0029] The target profit margin 654f is the profit margin that seller P5 aims to obtain from the sale of goods. Fixed costs 654g are the costs related to various services used when selling goods. These services include, for example, the cost of using a shipping and handling service.

[0030] Next, with reference to Figures 3 to 6, examples of setting screens D1 to D4 of the sales management system 6 will be described. Setting screens D1 to D4 are displayed by the output unit 63, which acts as a display. The display processing, calculation processing for display, and instructions for data acquisition, transmission, or processing with the domestic sales system 2 and the export sales system 4 are executed by the control unit 61.

[0031] In the settings screen D1 of Figure 3, the product acquisition tab d01 is selected, and product information is acquired. The domestic sales system selection section d11 is an item for selecting a domestic sales system 2 that can be linked with the export sales system 4 using the sales management system 6. An existing domestic e-commerce platform can be set as the domestic sales system 2.

[0032] When "Browser Display" is selected, the website of Domestic Sales System 2, which was set in Domestic Sales System Selection Section d11, will be displayed in the browser. The user can then select the product they wish to list from the Domestic Sales System 2 website displayed in the browser.

[0033] In "Product Information Acquisition," when a user selects a product they wish to sell while it is displayed on the browser, the control unit 61 can acquire product-related information for the displayed product and store it in the storage unit 65 as product-related information 652.

[0034] Category d12 is the item for setting the category of the product to be classified in the export sales system 4. Brand d13 is the item for setting the brand of the product to be classified in the export sales system 4. The settings for both Category d12 and Brand d13 are linked to the product or used as a search tag on the e-commerce site of the export sales system 4.

[0035] Inventory d14 is the field for setting the number of items in stock to be displayed on the product sales page of the export sales system 4. Weight d15 is the field for registering the weight of the product. The sales price of the product is calculated by the sales management system 6, including the international shipping cost from the domestic to the foreign country, which is based on the weight of the product.

[0036] Preorder d16 is an item that allows you to set the shipping deadline for a product from the default of within 5 days to any period between 5 and 10 days. Extending the shipping deadline with Preorder d16 can prevent delays in product shipment when there is a possibility that it will take time from purchase to shipment in the domestic sales system 2.

[0037] When you select "Move to Product Management" d17, the information initially set in Product Acquisition d01 and Settings d04 is reflected, and additional information 653, including product-related information 652 shown in Figures 1 and 2, as well as standard text 653b and calculated sales price 653c, is set, and you transition to the Product Management d02 screen shown in Figure 4.

[0038] In the product management d02 shown in Figure 4, the product information obtained in product acquisition d01 is displayed in list d28. If there are multiple product entries, multiple product entries will be displayed in list d28. The product information displayed in list d28 may be displayed as text, as an image, or as a combination of text and an image.

[0039] The "Add Frame" option for product image d21 adds the frame image 653a, which has been set on the settings d04 tab screen in Figure 6, to the product image.

[0040] Returning to Figure 4, the exchange rate d23 can be obtained from an external system by selecting "Get" for the rate of the applicable currency (Thai baht in this embodiment). When selected, the product price recalculation d25 recalculates the listing price of the selected product in list d28, reflecting the obtained exchange rate d23, and updates the listing price. The "rate adjustment amount" for exchange rate d23 is a setting item that allows you to adjust the exchange rate by entering an arbitrary adjustment value (for example, an adjustment value of 0.2 to 0.3 JPY to make the yen weaker) in order to reduce the risk of losses due to exchange rate fluctuations.

[0041] List selection d24 is the operation section for selecting or deselecting items registered in list d28. Selecting "Select All" in list selection d24 selects all items, and selecting "Deselect All" deselects all items.

[0042] The "Retrieve Again" option in tool d26 retrieves product-related information 652 for the selected product in list d28 from the domestic sales system 2. The "Delete" option in tool d26 removes the product from the management of the sales management system 6 (i.e., from list d28).

[0043] The "List" option in export sales system d27 is used to instruct the system to list the selected product in list d28 for sale. When "List" is selected, the control unit 61 in Figure 1 displays the selected product on the sales page of export sales system 4. On the other hand, the "Cancel" option in export sales system d27 is used to instruct the system to cancel the listing of the product selected in list d28.

[0044] In Figure 5, the listed items d03 display a list of items currently listed in the sales system 4. Seller P5 can check the inventory and listing price of currently listed items by selecting any item. The list selection d31 is an operation unit for selecting or deselecting items registered in list d32. Selecting "Select All" in list selection d31 selects all items, and selecting "Deselect All" deselects all items. The product information displayed in list d32 may be displayed as text, as an image, or as a combination of text and an image.

[0045] Automatic update d33 has the function of obtaining product-related information (e.g., inventory count or sold-out information, etc.) from the domestic sales system 2 and issuing update instructions for the product information displayed on the e-commerce site of the export sales system 4. For example, if a product registered in list d32, which is managed as being listed for sale in the export sales system 4, is sold out in the domestic sales system 2, it will become impossible to procure it, so the system can send sold-out information to the export sales system 4 to update the inventory status.

[0046] The update frequency can be set to automatic updates in the "Update Time" field, or it can be manually updated at any time by selecting "Start". If a product goes out of stock in the export sales system 4, and the inventory in the domestic sales system 2 changes to "In Stock" after the update, the inventory in the export sales system 4 will also change to "In Stock" or the number set in inventory d14.

[0047] Furthermore, the listing price in export sales system 4 is automatically calculated and reflected if there is a change in the selling price (i.e., acquisition price or purchase price) in domestic sales system 2. However, for products set up as discount promotions (e.g., free shipping program or coin cashback program), the listing price cannot be changed for a period determined by each promotion. Therefore, even if the listing price calculated through the update process differs from the current listing price, the change will be restricted and will not be reflected.

[0048] The "Delete" function can be used to remove a product from the sales management system 6. Users can also specify whether to delete the product only from the "Product Management System" or from both the "Product Management System" and the "Export Sales System".

[0049] In the settings screen D4 of Figure 6, the settings d04 tab is selected, and the basic initial settings for listing are performed. The product image folder d41 is an item for setting the folder where images of products to be listed will be saved, and a default folder is set in advance. The frame image d42 is an item for registering a frame image 653a that the user has created in advance as additional information 653.

[0050] Figure 8 shows an example of a frame image 653a. In the example in Figure 8, the frame image 653a is formed in the shape of a rectangular frame, with an empty space 653a1 inside where no image is provided. The frame image 653a can be any image, such as a figure, pattern, character, or letters, or a combination thereof.

[0051] By pre-setting the prepared frame image 653a in frame image d42, the product image 653a2 of the product selected from the domestic sales system 2 can be decorated, making it stand out from similar products handled by other sellers and promoting the seller's brand. As shown in Figure 8, the product image 653a2 is automatically placed in the space 653a1 of frame image 653a.

[0052] Returning to Figure 6, if you want to change the settings for product image folder d41 or frame image d42, you can do so by selecting the corresponding option d411 or d412.

[0053] The "Product Name Template d43" field allows you to set a template for the product name. In the settings screen D1 of Figure 3, the product name is automatically retrieved by selecting "Get Product Information," but the information set in "Product Name Template d43" can be pre-added as a template product name (for example, "Direct from Japan") before or after the product name when listing it in the export sales system 4. If you enter text in the left field of "Product Name Template d43," the template product name will be added before the original product name, and if you enter text in the right field, the template product name will be added after the original product name.

[0054] The product description template d44 is a setting item for adding a pre-configured product description to the product-related information 652. In the product description template d44, you enter the Japanese description in the left column, and when you select "Re-translate," it is automatically translated into the translation language set in the product management d02 tab (Thai in the example in Figure 6), and the translation result is entered in the right column. The automatic translation function can be implemented by the sales management system 6 in conjunction with an external translation program via API, etc. This translated text is added to the product description obtained from the domestic sales system 2 and inserted into the product description field of the export sales system 4.

[0055] You can set the insertion position of the translated text by selecting either before or after in the position d45 field.

[0056] The export sales system API is a field for inputting information that enables the sales management system 6 to link with the export sales system 4.

[0057] The sales price d47 is an item where you input the information required to determine the sales price of a product, based on the price calculation requirements 654 shown in Figure 2.

[0058] Next, we will explain each step of the sales management method using the product sales management system 6 with reference to Figure 7. Figure 7 is a control flowchart of the sales management system 6.

[0059] In step S01, the control unit 61 obtains product-related information 652 from the domestic sales system 2 via the communication unit 64.

[0060] In step S02, the control unit 61 adds additional information 653, which has been pre-set by the seller P5, to the product-related information 652. The additional information 653 can be selected from a frame image 653a, a standard phrase 653b, and a sales price 653c.

[0061] In step S03, the control unit 61 automatically calculates the selling price based on the pre-set price calculation requirements 654. At that time, the control unit 61 uses the set value of the "target profit margin" of the selling price d47 to calculate the selling price so that the seller makes a profit from the sale of the product. The exchange rate, which is one of the price calculation requirements 654, can be obtained by the control unit 61 from an external system via the communication unit. The control unit 61 adds the selling price as additional information 653 to the product-related information 652 of the export sales system 4.

[0062] In step S04, the control unit 61 automatically translates the product-related information 652 into the language selected by the seller P5.

[0063] In step S05, the control unit 61 inserts the automatically translated product-related information 652, to which the additional information 653 has been added, into the product description field on the web page for listing products in the export sales system 4, which is viewed by foreign customers P4.

[0064] In step S06, when customer P4 purchases goods through the export sales system 4, seller P5 issues a shipping instruction to seller P3 in the linked domestic sales system 2. Note that sellers P3 and P5 may be the same person. Furthermore, the shipping instruction to the domestic sales system 2 may be issued by the sales management system 6 or by seller P3.

[0065] This allows seller P3 to obtain the goods and perform the necessary processing to conform to the export format of export sales system 4. For example, this might involve attaching product identification labels and sending the goods to the export sales system 4 warehouse, where export sales system 4 then delivers the goods to customer P4. Alternatively, if domestic sales system 2 and export sales system 4 partner in the future, it may be possible to ship goods directly from domestic sales system 2 to export sales system 4. In any case, repeated sales activities like this can lead to a decrease in inventory in domestic sales system 2, potentially resulting in stockouts. Steps S07 onward describe the steps taken to address this issue.

[0066] In step S07, the control unit 61 determines whether there is stock of the product to be listed in the domestic sales system 2. If the control unit 61 determines that there is stock of the product to be listed in the domestic sales system 2 (step S07, Yes), it terminates the process. On the other hand, if the control unit 61 determines that there is no stock of the product to be listed in the domestic sales system 2 (i.e., the product will run out of stock) (step S07, No), it proceeds to the process in step S08.

[0067] In step S08, the control unit 61 automatically stops listing the product in the product-related information 652 of the export sales system 4 when the product runs out of stock in the domestic sales system 2. In other words, the sales management system 6 has the function of managing the inventory of the domestic sales system 2 and stopping product sales in the export sales system 4 when there is no stock. This prevents seller P3 from receiving orders when the product is out of stock, thereby reducing the risk to seller P3.

[0068] According to the embodiments of this disclosure described above, the sales management system 6 acquires product-related information 652 from the domestic sales system 2 via the communication unit 64, adds additional information 653 pre-set by the seller P5 to the product-related information 652, automatically translates the product-related information 652 into a language selected by the seller P5, and inserts the automatically translated product-related information 652 with the added additional information 653 into the product description field viewed by the foreign customer P4 in the export sales system 4, thereby reducing the effort required to create (list) product pages in the export sales system P4 using the product pages of the domestic sales system 2. Furthermore, if necessary, the sales management system 6 may be configured to send a shipping instruction to the domestic sales system 2 linked by the seller P5 when the customer P4 purchases a product via the export sales system 4. This reduces the effort required for shipping by the seller P3.

[0069] In this embodiment, the sales management system 6 adds additional information 653 to product-related information 652, thereby providing information for foreign customers that is lacking in domestic product-related information for cross-border e-commerce services, and enabling the provision of product information and promotion of products to customers P4. Furthermore, when a seller P5 receives an order from a foreign customer P4, the seller can ship the product without having to procure goods in advance for cross-border sales. Therefore, sellers can easily manage their listings in a cross-border e-commerce service that does not require inventory.

[0070] This concludes the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to these embodiments.

[0071] For example, in this embodiment, we have illustrated a configuration in which the sales management system 6 is operated by the user, the seller P5. However, it is also possible for the seller P5 to access and operate the sales management system 6 from one or more devices or terminals.

[0072] Furthermore, the computer on which the sales management program 651 runs may be a cloud-based system or an on-premise system for the seller P5.

[0073] Furthermore, in step S06, we described a configuration in which, when customer P4 purchases goods through the export sales system 4, the sales management system 6 or seller P3 sends a shipping instruction to the domestic sales system 2 for seller P3. However, if the domestic sales system 2 and the export sales system 4 are in cooperation, the domestic sales system 2, upon receiving the shipping instruction, may directly ship the goods to the export sales system 4's warehouse located domestically (for example, in the same country as the domestic sales system 2), and then ship the goods from the domestic export sales system 4's warehouse to the shipping destination specified by customer P4. As described above, the shipping process from the domestic sales system 2's warehouse may be performed automatically through cooperation between the export sales system 4 and the domestic sales system 2, or it may be performed when seller P3 recognizes the order information sent to the export sales system 4 and instructs the domestic sales system 2 to ship the goods from its warehouse.
