Abstract

According to the present invention, by utilizing a method for automatic distribution on the basis of information on products sold in stores, the accuracy of distribution of sold products is enhanced by using distribution center inventory information and store inventory information during the automatic distribution of product quantities for each store. Since automatic distribution is performed by using an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system module rather than relying on a distribution manager, the accuracy of product shipments from the distribution center can be improved and work time can be greatly reduced when shipping products from the distribution center, and the stores benefit from securing safety stock of products. In addition, the stores can check automatically ordered products at any time and from any location, even before the products are shipped from the distribution center, thereby ensuring that accurate orders can be placed, and customer service (C / S) for consumers purchasing products can be processed quickly and accurately.

Description

Clothing order, inventory, and sales management program using an ERP system

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for registering a virtual business name or brand in an ERP system in a store, inputting a QR or barcode or image registration, and then placing an order to a manufacturing plant through sales aggregation and analysis through aggregation of quantity by receipt, quantity by category, sales performance aggregation, inventory quantity aggregation, and customer tendency aggregation, and then sending and managing the same as a text message to an ERP according to customer tendencies after adjusting the inventory quantity.

[0002] Typically, new product supply is supplied by the logistics center according to the sales level of each store, or the order quantity for products sold at each store is tallied and directly distributed by the distribution manager. The logistics center then picks the products based on this and ships them, so there was no choice but to depend on the distributor.

[0003] In addition, the logistics center takes a lot of time to process and check the distribution received from the distributor with the actual product inventory before shipping the product, and there is a problem in that the store cannot check the details of the products actually sold and the products shipped from the logistics center.

[0004] In addition, if the product ordered for which the store has no inventory is different from the product distributed by the distributor, there is a problem that the store may not receive the product because it is judged to be delivered as an incorrect product or out of stock until it receives the product from the logistics center.

[0005] Ultimately, since order requests for in-store products have to depend on the headquarters distributor, ordered products are not supplied on time, resulting in over-ordering situations. Therefore, a new product order management system is required to reduce the resulting inventory cost burden.

[0006]

[0007] The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the purpose is to maximize sales by sharing inventory data between the logistics center and the store by registering each store as a household name or brand in the ERP system, or by registering barcodes or images, and classifying them through aggregation by stock quantity, aggregating sales performance according to sales volume, storing customer tendency aggregation based on sales performance in a database, automatically extracting and storing product data for out-of-stock and delayed stocking, and automatically transmitting a distribution request list to the logistics center based on the stored data.

[0008] Additionally, the store aims to increase sales efficiency by providing faster and more accurate customer C / S response to consumers.

[0009] The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems,

[0010] Distribution data is automatically generated based on the distribution standard information set using the module of the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, and the distribution list is automatically created and saved by merging the product information sold in the store by store / product / color / size using the inventory information of the logistics center and the inventory information of the store, and the product that is out of stock or delayed in arrival is excluded based on the distribution standard information, and an automatic distribution list is generated and provided to the logistics center.

[0011] Stores can register sales in bulk from the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, and the logistics center can automatically distribute and ship products sold in the store by sorting and merging the automatic distribution data and distribution list based on this by store / product / color / size.

[0012] The present invention comprises the steps of: a) registering a virtual business name or brand in ERP, 2) registering a product with a QR or barcode and an image as in-stock products, 3) aggregating the products by category in stores by stock quantity, 4) analyzing sales performance, inventory quantity, and customer-specific tendencies based on sales volume, 6) placing an order to a logistics center based on the analyzed data, and 7) selecting products that match the tendencies of each customer upon stocking and sending a text message to ERP.

[0013] Figure 1 is a drawing showing a product management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0014] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0015] The present invention is to automatically distribute products sold at each store according to distribution standard information.

[0016] Figure 1 is a drawing showing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] Figure 1 is a step for registering a virtual business name or brand with ERP (10), a step for registering a product with a QR or barcode and an image (20), a step for aggregating received goods by quantity (30), a step for aggregating the aggregated goods by category (40), a step for aggregating sales performance by sales volume (50), a step for aggregating inventory quantity (60), a step for aggregating customer tendencies (70) and then a step for aggregating and analyzing sales to determine inventory quantity and then placing an order at a logistics center (80).

[0018] As described above, the products sold in the store of the present invention are automatically digitized to check the store inventory and the logistics center inventory in real time, and by using the inventory information by store / product / color / size of the ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, the accuracy of the inventory can be increased, and the products sold in the store can be automatically distributed, thereby greatly reducing the work time of the logistics center. In addition, the store can check the automatically ordered products anytime and anywhere even before the products are shipped from the logistics center, and the order can be placed accurately. In addition, there is the effect of processing customer C / S for consumers purchasing the products quickly and accurately.

[0019] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 1, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible from this.

[0020] According to the present invention, information on products sold in stores is digitized, and by utilizing product information by store, inventory information at logistics centers, and inventory information at stores, accuracy is increased through accurate analysis of products sold, and automatic distribution is performed through an ERP system module without relying on a distribution manager.

[0021] When shipping products from a logistics center, the accuracy of product shipping and the work time can be significantly reduced, and stores have the advantage of securing product safety stock.

[0022] In addition, stores can check automatically ordered products anytime and anywhere, even before the products are shipped from the logistics center, allowing for accurate ordering and quick and accurate customer service for consumers purchasing the products.
