DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is an information control unit that also serves as a server.
It includes a server (storage device) for storing information input by the secretariat terminal 2 such as a personal computer, a tallying device that performs various tallying functions, and a calculating device that performs various calculating functions. The information control unit 1 is connected to a shipper side terminal 4 such as a personal computer via the Internet 3 and also connected to a carrier terminal 5 such as a personal computer via the Internet 3. Reference numeral 6 denotes a mobile phone that can be connected to the Internet 3, and similarly, a car navigation system and a dedicated vehicle-mounted device (car phone) that can be connected to the Internet 3.
But it is good.

Accordingly, the shipper terminal 4 and the carrier terminal 5
Information input by the mobile phone 6 is also stored in the information control unit 1 via the Internet 3. As an assumption of this system, an outline of an auction will be described with reference to FIG. First, the outline is that there is an exhibition of transportation goods from a logistics subsidiary entrusted with the transportation business by a material (product) manufacturer, and this is reported to a plurality of transportation companies on the Internet 3 and bids from the transportation companies are submitted. This is a transport cyber auction (hereinafter referred to as "TCA") in which a certain logistics subsidiary makes a successful bid, charges a freight charge to the logistics subsidiary, and pays the freight charge to the carrier.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the enrollment procedure of the TCA is carried out by a shipper (a maker of materials and a distribution subsidiary).
The carrier will fill out the application form and the credit application form and submit it to the TCA Secretariat. TC
The A secretariat will make a screening when it is accepted, register if it passes, and issue an ID and password to the shipper or carrier who passed. In this case, upon joining, each member enters into a transaction contract with the TCA secretariat so that the TCA can be performed smoothly. The predetermined items to be filled in the application form are, for example, a company name, a TEL or FAX number, an i-mode address, an e-mail address, a bank name and an account number. Also,
This TCA is an open system in which the shippers on the exhibiting side do not know each other. For a carrier, the name of each company is unknown but the (minimum) bid price is known for the same bid.

Next, the flow of TCA will be described with reference to FIG. First, the shipper to whom the ID and the password have been issued is connected via the Internet 3 using the shipper side terminal 4.
After logging in, the user accesses the information control unit 1 which also serves as a server, inputs the evaluation of the successful bidder on the previous day, which will be described in detail later, on the evaluation input screen shown in FIG. After inputting the information, the contents of the exhibition are confirmed, and the work relating to the exhibition is completed, but the input information is stored in the server of the information control unit 1. On the other hand, the carrier to whom the ID and the password have been issued logs in through the Internet 3 using the carrier-side terminal 5 or the mobile phone 6 and accesses the information control unit 1 also serving as a server.
The goods to be displayed are searched, and a bid is made if the user likes them, but the input information is stored in the server of the information control unit 1.

[0011] Then, as described above, the shipper operates the information control unit 1.
To check the bidding status of the exhibited cargo, select the winning bidder and make a decision, and send a notification of the winning bidder's decision confirmation by e-mail via the Internet 3 to the TCA.
Send it to the secretariat, who will send it to the designated carrier. Upon receiving this notification, the carrier (successful bidder) sends the driver's name and successful bid number of the transported vehicle number by TC
The A secretariat is notified, and the TCA secretariat notifies the shipper, who checks the driver name and the like. Note that, although described briefly and in detail later, the transporter instructs the driver on the TCA work standard created by the shipper through the mobile phone 6, a car navigation system, or a dedicated vehicle-mounted device. The user inputs necessary information while performing various operations related to necessary loading and unloading, and stores the information in the server of the information control unit 1.

Next, a carrier evaluation system will be described. The purpose of this system is to improve the quality of transportation and to give privileges to excellent carriers. The target of the evaluation is a transportation company, a driver, and a vehicle. Originally, the evaluation should be made in units of drivers and vehicles of the transport company, but even if there is a driver attached, when the carrier bids, the driver / vehicle is undecided, so the shipper's rating depends on the shipper. Since the user cannot make a selection, in this embodiment, he is a transportation company. The rating of the shipping company is determined based on the evaluation result. For example, if the rating is “Star”, the display is “★”, the benefit is “Nothing in particular”, and “Fare payment is the end of next month”. If the rating of 4000 points is "Silver Star", the display is "★★", the benefit is "Fare payment is 15th of the following month and the priority of successful bid is improved", and the rating of 8000 points is "Gold". If it is a “star”, the display will be “★★★” and the benefit will be granted to a good carrier such as “Fare payment will be at the end of the next month and the priority of successful bids”. In this case, for example, an auction is performed in August during a low season with the required vehicles in advance during the busy season in December, and the fare payment is paid in August before the execution and 80% of the final payment is paid. Special benefits are also conceivable.

Next, an evaluation method will be described. The evaluation is performed by the shipper in accordance with the TCA work standard. That is, this work standard is supplementary when the shipper evaluates the successful bidder. The TCA secretariat uses the secretariat side terminal 2 to create and input the information, and stores and registers the information in the information control unit 1 also serving as a server. Therefore, the shipper accesses the information control unit 1 to display a work standard input screen as shown in FIG. Specifically, for each loading and unloading location, an address,
Enter contact information, contact person and map. This map is
This is an operation of plotting the loading and unloading points on a road map uniquely created by TCA. If there are multiple unloading points, register for each one.

The shipper inputs each time of the work procedure. The left side relates to loading and the right side relates to unloading. Specifically, the left side is the arrival reception time, loading start time, loading completion time, delivery note reception time, departure time, and the right side is the arrival reception time, unloading start time, unloading completion time, reception The information is stored in the server of the information control unit 1 when each time is inputted. On the other hand, the carrier checks the contents before the dispatcher instructs the driver, and clicks “Confirm Carrier”. Therefore, after this confirmation, the dispatcher instructs the driver on each time. The driver who received the instruction accesses the server of the information control unit 1 using the mobile phone 6 during operation,
When the screen shown in FIG. 5 is displayed to search for the successful bid number and complete each work of the successful job, each time is input, but it is sufficient if the shipper inputs the desired time.

When the unloading completion time is input,
This means that the basis for the carrier's fare request has been entered.
When the driver inputs each time, the information is stored in the server of the information control unit 1, and the screens of FIGS. 4 and 5 are accessed and viewed in real time by the shipper, the secretariat, and the carrier. be able to.

Next, a description will be given of how a shipper evaluates a carrier. First, the shipper accesses the server of the information control unit 1 and issues an evaluation input screen as shown in FIG. 6, and displays the evaluation date, destination (unloading place), vehicle type, supplier (transporter), and vehicle number. (Vehicle number) and driver. Next, what is input is the original evaluation, which is based on the actual work time input by the driver shown in FIG. 4 and the desired work time concerning loading and unloading shown in FIG. The evaluation is performed by comparison.

That is, regarding the “delivery date”, the information control unit 1
If there is no designation, all are automatically set to "OK". If there is designation, both the arrival reception time / loading completion time and the arrival reception time / unloading completion time are checked, and both ends before completion. If so, it is automatically set to "OK". Also,
At the loading site, the answer is "NO" late, but at the unloading site, it is evaluated as "OK" in time. The shipper determines and inputs “safety / reliability”, and clicks “OK”, “Damage”, or “Insufficient” depending on the presence or absence of damage (product and exterior) based on the condition of the cargo.

This evaluation is stored in the server of the information control unit 1 after the input, and if "delivery date" is "OK", one point is obtained.
If "safety / certainty" is "OK", it is evaluated as 1 point, and the counting section of the information control section 1 counts with the past points,
The rating is stored as an evaluation point of the carrier. Then, as described above, the privilege is given to the excellent carrier by the accumulated points. The TCA contribution will be described below. If there are 5 or more successful bids per day, 1 point will be added per successful bid, or 10 points per month will be added if the participation rate of the number of owned vehicles to TCA is 50% or more per month. Here, when calculating by the latter addition example, for example, a transportation company with five vehicles per day on a 20th day and an input rate of 50% or more per month for 12 months is “delivery date”.
Is 5 (units) x 1 (points) x 20 (days) x 12 (months)
= 1200 points, 5 points for "safety and certainty"
X1 (points) x 20 (days) x 12 (months) = 1200
Points, and TCA contribution is 5 (units) x 1 (points) x 20 (days) x 12 (months) + 10 (points) x 1
2 (months) = 1,320 points, for a total of 3,720 points. Accordingly, the rating is "Star" because the accumulated points are less than 4000 points. Next, the penalty will be described. If the evaluation item “delivery date” or “safety / certainty” is NO, it becomes minus 100 points, and if it becomes minus 300 points in one month, it becomes one month of suspension of qualification and minus 300 in one year.
If points are generated three times, you will be disqualified and you will be withdrawn.

However, some types of cargo are easily damaged (for example, lighting fixtures), so they are not uniform. In this case, there is room to consider a penalty. As described above, the transporter is evaluated by the shipper, the TCA secretariat checks the history data of the successful bid every day, and one month of the history data is totaled by the totaling device of the information control unit 1, The payment details for each trader and the sales details for each shipper are created. Therefore, from the above specification, TCA
Payment and billing data is created by the secretariat or a credit company requested by the secretariat, freight and TCA fees are charged to the shipper, and the carrier is paid a fee equal to the freight minus the TCA fee. The bureau receives the TCA fee or the fee minus the credit fee.

As described above (FIGS. 8 and 9)
If this TCA is adopted, the sales will temporarily decrease, especially for the primary contractor. Specifically, as shown in FIG.
If a certain primary contractor makes a successful bid for 60,000 yen, it will be about 8 times less than if it had been outsourced for 70,000 yen.
Sales will be 6%, and sales will be reduced by about 14%.
Therefore, a compensation system for this sales decrease is necessary, and will be described below. First, the TCA commission income from the TCA Secretariat
Since the winning bid for one truck x 5%, 86 (%) x
5% = 4.3%. Of these, for example, if cashback is made with 10% as compensation, truck 1
4.3 (%) × 10% = 0.43% per unit.

Here, the primary contractor can determine the number of trucks (traders) under his own control to cover the 14% decrease in sales, and finds N from 14 = 0.43 × N. That's about 33 units. However, the primary contractor has to pay the TCA secretariat a 5% TCA fee, and the sales decrease will be exactly 14 + 4.3 = 18.3%. So 1
When N is calculated from 8.3 = 0.43 × N, the number is about 43. Then, as for the network for securing these 43 vehicles, if one carrier solicits three companies at a time, as shown in FIG. 7, it is only necessary to have cash back up to the fourth stage (level). . In the above, the tree structure shown in FIG. 7 is formed as follows. That is, when one carrier solicits three companies at a time, the solicited three carriers link with the soliciting carriers that solicited the respective carriers at the time of TCA registration. The information control unit 1 recognizes such linking, calculates the cashback amount based on the compensation system, and makes payment.

Also, if you (transporter) are a primary contractor of the manufacturer A and are entrusted with 10 operations per day from a logistics subsidiary for 70,000 yen per vehicle, you will not use TCA. Below, the sales for one year were 10 units / day x 70,000 yen / unit x 20 days / month x 12 months = 168 million yen. If you use TCA but do not deploy this compensation system, , 10 days a day from a logistics subsidiary for a bid of 60,000 yen per vehicle and paying 5% TCA fee,
One-year sales are 10 units / day x 60,000 yen / unit x 20 days / month x 12 months x 95% = approx. 137 million yen, 31 million yen minus 137 million yen from 168 million yen However, a case will be described below in which 120 companies up to the fourth stage are registered and this compensation system is developed.

First, when the minimum TCA is used (one car is used per day) and the number of cars is 20 cars per month and the monthly successful bid amount is 1.2 million yen, the compensation rate is 5%, and 120 companies × unit price 6
000 yen x 20 days x 12 months x TCA fee 5% x compensation rate 5% = 4.32 million yen / year. If you use TCA relatively (three cars a day), 60 cars a month and the monthly successful bid amount of 3.6 million yen, the compensation rate is 7%, 120 companies x unit price 60 thousand yen x 20 days × 1
Two months × TCA fee 5% × compensation rate 7% = about 6,050,000 yen / year. If you frequently use TCA (use 5 cars a day), 100 cars a month and the monthly successful bid amount of 6 million yen, the compensation rate is 10%, 120 companies × unit price 60 thousand yen × 20 days X 12 months x TCA fee 5% x compensation rate 10% = 864
The compensation amount is 10,000 yen / year.

Therefore, when this compensation system is developed,
If the registered companies (120 companies) use three vehicles a day, the compensation amount will be 8.64 million yen x 3 vehicles = 25.92 million yen / year, so from the 31 million yen (sales decrease) 2,59
Sales will be reduced by 5.08 million yen after subtracting 20,000 yen. To this end, the present compensation system includes a compiling device that counts the amount of successful bids during a predetermined period (for example, one year) when each carrier is bidding, and a compensation amount calculating device that calculates a compensation amount from the total amount at the end of the predetermined period. These devices are also used by the information control unit 1. Further, the information control unit 1 equipped with a predetermined automatic distribution program distributes the information on the compensation amount calculated by the compensation amount calculation device to the relevant carrier immediately after the calculation, and the TCA secretariat directly or The compensation amount calculated by the calculation device is indirectly paid to each of the transporters.
