Description

  The present invention relates to a building material ordering support system and program thereof, and in particular, receives and orders a plurality of types of building materials via a communication network such as the Internet, and manages and designates a construction schedule. The present invention relates to a building material ordering support system that enables delivery on a daily basis and a program executed in the system.

  The work of creating an estimate requires experience and skill, and the burden on the person in charge is large. Especially when handling various types of building materials, such as when constructing a house, it is extremely difficult to prepare an estimate. It took a lot of man-hours. Also, when there is no catalog or price list when a business negotiation is held at a destination, etc., it is difficult to create a quote on the spot, and even if a custom quote can be created, it will be created As a result, the owner was kept waiting for a relatively long time until the transaction was completed, and there was a risk that the negotiation could not proceed smoothly.

  Therefore, recently, a system for creating an estimate using a server connected to a communication network such as the Internet has been proposed. Specifically, product information such as product name, product number, and price is stored in the storage means of the server, and desired purchase information (information on the desired product) is input from the terminal device via the communication network. Then, an estimate is created based on the desired purchase information and the product information stored in the storage means, and the estimate is transmitted to the terminal device. Then, the person who wants to purchase the product receives the estimate via the terminal device, and if there is no problem with the price or the like, places an order according to the estimate.

  By the way, in housing construction, it takes several months to complete the construction after confirming the owner with a design drawing etc., but it is extremely important to deliver goods and materials without letting the contractor play at the site. . This is because, in the construction shop, the monetary loss is greater due to the waiting time of the contractor than the loss due to the price of the housing material. For example, even if a construction company can purchase flooring from other manufacturers at a 10% discount, if the delivery date of the flooring is delayed by one day, both the under-wall construction and the ceiling construction will be delayed, resulting in a significant loss due to the waiting time of the contractor Will suffer.

  Therefore, a delivery date management system has been proposed that enables delivery according to the schedule of the construction contractor entering the construction site. In this system, a server managed by a dealer or the like and an ordering terminal that can be used by a construction company or the like are connected via a communication network, and the desired delivery date of the product is input at the ordering terminal. According to this, the store can grasp the desired delivery date by the server, and can deliver necessary building materials according to the construction schedule at the construction site.

  The above prior art is naturally performed by those skilled in the art, and the applicant is not aware of a document describing the prior art.

  However, according to the delivery date management system described above, a desired delivery date must be set for each product, which increases the burden on the construction shop and the like in the input operation of the desired delivery date. In other words, since the desired delivery date must be entered for each individual product, which is the smallest unit, the input work becomes more detailed than necessary, and there is a risk of dissatisfaction with the work. Although it is conceivable to use estimated information in setting the delivery date, the estimated information is not related to the progress of the construction. Therefore, while setting the desired delivery date for each product, while maintaining consistency with each other There was a need to enter.

  By the way, in housing construction, the time axis and the space axis are generally used. In other words, work by job type (for example, work by pipes, plasterers, and carpenters) is arranged on the time axis, and craftsmen and building materials are arranged so that craftsmen do not collide with each construction site, that is, each room of the house. ing. However, according to the conventional delivery date management system, since a desired delivery date is set for each product, it is difficult to deliver all building materials in a just time. For example, in order to give a sense of rhythm to the overall appearance design, the same part number as the window frame used in the first floor room may be used in the kitchen, washroom, second floor room, hallway, etc. In such a case, all the products were delivered on the same day because the products were the same, even though the window frame installation time was different for each room. As a result, building materials have to be stored at construction sites and the like, and particularly at sites where these building materials cannot be secured.

  Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention has an object to provide a building material ordering support system and a program thereof that can easily set the delivery date of each building material and reduce the burden on the orderer. It is what.

  The building material ordering support system according to the present invention is a building material ordering support system in which an ordering terminal for ordering a plurality of types of building materials and a server are connected via a communication network, wherein the server When the product information including the product number and quantity of the building material and the construction information including the use place and construction type of the building material are input from the ordering terminal, the product information and the construction information are associated with each other. And the schedule information storage means for storing the schedule and the construction information in association with each other when the schedule corresponding to the construction information is input from the ordering terminal during schedule management. And when delivering a building material, when a search is instructed by specifying a delivery date, the construction information corresponding to the schedule is stored in the schedule information storage means based on the schedule that matches the delivery date. Information extracting means for extracting all the product information related to the extracted construction information from the order information storage means, and based on the product information extracted by the information extracting means, And a list creation means for creating a delivery list ”.

  Here, “use place” distinguishes, for example, a property name (for example, an identification number of an individual residence), a room name (for example, an identification number indicating the type of a room), and a construction target part (for example, a wall, a floor, a ceiling, etc.) It can be expressed from a combination of (identification numbers). Further, the “construction type” can be configured from information indicating the classification of job types such as carpenter, plasterer, piping, and electrical work, and the construction order.

  According to the present invention, when placing an order, the server inputs product information including the product number and quantity of the building material and construction information including the use location and construction type of the building material from the ordering terminal. Are stored in association with each other. That is, in addition to the product information of the building material to be ordered, the information is acquired by inputting the use location and construction information of each product.

  Further, when a schedule corresponding to the construction information is input from the ordering terminal during schedule management, the server stores the schedule and the construction information input at the time of ordering in association with each other. That is, the delivery date is not input for each type of building material, but the schedule is input according to the construction information. According to this, even if the types of products are different from each other, such as door frames and wall materials, if the location of use and construction information in each building material are the same (that is, the same day construction is possible), It is set as the same day schedule.

  On the other hand, when delivering a building material, when a search is instructed by specifying a delivery date, the server compares the delivery date with the schedule stored during schedule management, and recognizes a matching schedule. At the same time, the construction information associated with the schedule is extracted. Further, all the product information related to the extracted construction information is extracted based on the association between the product information stored at the time of ordering and the construction information. Then, a delivery list of building materials is created based on the extracted product information. Thereby, a delivery list for each delivery date is created, and building materials can be arranged based on the delivery list.

  By the way, in the ordering support system for building materials according to the present invention, “the construction type includes a category of job type, and based on the product information and the construction information stored in the order information storage unit, for each job type. It may be configured to further include an estimate creation means for creating an estimate.

  According to this, an estimate for each job type is created based on the information stored in the order information storage means. In other words, since the job classification is stored as the construction type in the order information storage means, it is possible to create an estimate for each job type. In other words, the construction information input at the time of placing an order is used not only when setting the delivery date of building materials but also when creating an individual estimate. In other words, the construction information is effectively used in a series of operations from creation of an estimate to delivery of building materials.

  The above invention can also be realized as a program used in a server. That is, “an ordering support program used in an ordering support system for building materials in which an ordering terminal for ordering a plurality of products and a server are connected via a communication network, and the ordering terminal is used when placing an order. Order information storage means for storing the product information and the construction information in association with each other when the product information including the product number and quantity of the building material and the construction information including the use place and construction type of the building material are input. When a schedule corresponding to the construction information is input from the ordering terminal during schedule management, a schedule information storage means for storing the schedule and the construction information in association with each other, delivered when delivering building materials When a search is instructed by designating a date, the construction information corresponding to the schedule is extracted from the schedule information storage means based on the schedule that matches the delivery date. An information extraction means for extracting all the product information related to the extracted construction information from the order information storage means, and a delivery list of building materials based on the product information extracted by the information extraction means The server is made to function as a list creation means to perform ".

  According to this program, by executing on the server, product information and construction information are stored in association with each other at the time of ordering, and construction information and schedule input at the time of ordering are associated with each other at the time of schedule management. It becomes possible to memorize. In addition, when delivering a building material, if a search is instructed by specifying a delivery date, a delivery list for each delivery date can be created. The specific process is the same as that of the first aspect, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  In this way, the building material ordering support system of the present invention makes use of the ordering information for construction schedule management by specifying the use place and construction type of the building material picked up at the time of ordering at the time of ordering. Is possible. For this reason, it becomes possible to set the delivery date of a some building material easily, and can reduce the burden of an orderer. In addition, since the schedule is set according to the construction information, even if the same type of building material is placed in different locations, it can be delivered on the delivery date according to the construction status of each location. Therefore, convenience at the site can be greatly improved.

  Hereinafter, a building material ordering support system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the entire ordering support system. FIGS. 2 and 3 are block diagrams illustrating functional configurations of a server and an ordering terminal in the ordering support system. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration of information stored in the server, FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a display screen, and FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing in the server.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the ordering support system 1 of this example includes a server 3, an order receiving terminal 4 and a printer 5 managed by a manufacturer 2, and an ordering terminal 7 that can be used by an orderer 6. It is connected via the network 8 and is used, for example, when a house is constructed or renovated. The network 8 is constructed from a wide-area communication network such as the Internet including a telephone line network and an ISP (Internet Service Provider).

  The server 3 receives data transmitted from each ordering terminal 7 or order receiving terminal 4 via the network 8 and performs processing according to these inputs. As with a general-purpose computer, the hardware configuration includes a main storage device (not shown), a central processing unit including an arithmetic device and a control device, and an input device for directly inputting information such as a keyboard and a pointing device. And an output device such as a display for retrieving information processed in the server 3, a communication means such as a modem for transmitting and receiving data via the network 8, and a storage device comprising a hard disk or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the communication means includes a receiving means 11 for receiving data from the ordering terminal 7 or the order receiving terminal 4, and a transmitting means 12 for transmitting data to the accessed ordering terminal 7 or the like. It is controlled by the communication control means 13 having

  The storage device of the server 3 is roughly divided into a product information storage unit 14, an order information storage unit 15, and a schedule information storage unit 16. The product information storage means 14 stores product information such as “product name”, “product number”, “price”, and “product description”.

  The order information storage means 15 is the information input when placing an order for or estimating the building material 9, specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, a “product” including “article number” and “quantity” of the building material 9. Information "and" construction information "including" use place "and" construction type "are stored in association with each other. Here, “use place” indicates a place where each building material 9 is used. In this example, the identification number of “individual house” which is the property name and the “room” indicating the type of the room. And a “part” identification number indicating a construction target part, such as a wall, a floor, and a ceiling. The “construction type” includes “job category” such as carpenter, plasterer, piping, and electrical work, and information indicating “construction order”.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the schedule information storage means 16 uses a combination of “construction information”, that is, “use place” and “construction type” from the ordering terminal 7 when managing the construction schedule. When the “schedule” (date) corresponding to is input, the “schedule” and “construction information” are stored in association with each other. In other words, since “schedule” is not input for “product information” but “schedule” is input for “construction information”, even for different types of building materials 9, those building materials 9 If the “use place” and “construction type” of the two coincide with each other, they are set to be used on the same date. Moreover, even if it is the same building material 9, a schedule will be set separately, when the room to be used differs, for example.

  By the way, the server 3 stores an ordering support program. By executing this program, the server 3 has the following functional configuration.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the server 3 includes an order information request unit 18 and an order information recognition unit 19 as a configuration for acquiring the order information. The order information requesting means 18 requests the ordering terminal 7 to input “product information” and “construction information”. That is, a predetermined input screen is displayed on the display 34 (see FIG. 3) of the ordering terminal 7 to prompt the input of “product information” and “construction information”. The order information recognition unit 19 receives and recognizes “product information” and “construction information” input at the ordering terminal 7 via the reception unit 11. The recognized information is associated with each other and stored in the order information storage unit 15.

  In addition, the server 3 includes an estimate instruction recognition unit 20 that recognizes that an estimate instruction has been input, and an estimate creation unit 21 that creates an estimate. The estimate creation unit 21 creates an estimate based on the “product information” and “construction information” stored in the order information storage unit 15 and the “price” stored in the product information storage unit 14. is there. In particular, the “order classification” is stored as “construction information” in the order information storage means 15, and the estimate creation means 21 creates an estimate for each occupation based on this. For example, the estimate 51 shown in FIG. 5A relates to the job type A, and the product name, product number, quantity, amount, and the like of the building material 9 are displayed as a list.

  In addition, the server 3 includes a schedule request unit 22 and a schedule recognition unit 23 as a configuration for acquiring a construction schedule. The schedule request means 22 requests the ordering terminal 7 to input “schedule (date)” for “construction information”. That is, a predetermined input screen is displayed on the display 34 of the ordering terminal 7 to prompt the input of “schedule”. The schedule recognizing means 23 receives and recognizes the “schedule” input at the ordering terminal 7 via the receiving means 11. The recognized “schedule” is associated with the construction information and stored in the schedule information storage means 16.

  Further, the server 3 includes a search instruction recognition unit 24, an information extraction unit 25, and a list creation unit 26 as a configuration for arranging delivery of the building material 9. The search instruction recognizing means 24 recognizes that a search is instructed in the order receiving terminal 4, and outputs the “delivery date” as a search condition to the information extracting means 25 when it is recognized. The information extraction means 25 collates the “delivery date” recognized by the search instruction recognition means 24 with the “schedule” stored in the schedule information storage means 16, recognizes the matching “schedule”, and the “schedule” Is extracted from the schedule information storage means 16. Further, all the product information related to the extracted “construction information” is extracted based on the association between “product information” and “construction information” stored in the order information storage means 15. The list creation unit 26 creates a delivery list of the building materials 9 based on the “product information” extracted by the information extraction unit 25. For example, when the information shown in FIG. 4A is stored in the order information storage unit 15 and the information shown in FIG. 4B is stored in the schedule information storage unit 16, the delivery date is “2004/03 / When a search is instructed by specifying “08”, a delivery list 52 as shown in FIG. 5B is created and transmitted to the order receiving terminal 4. The delivery list 52 can be sent to the printer 5 and printed on a paper medium.

  On the other hand, the ordering terminal 7 is a general-purpose computer installed with browser software, and transmits / receives information to / from a CPU (central processing unit) composed of a main storage device, an arithmetic device, and a control device via the network 8. Communication device. As shown in FIG. 3, the communication apparatus is controlled by a communication control unit 32 having a reception unit 30 and a transmission unit 31. Further, the ordering terminal 7 is provided with an input device 33 such as a keyboard or a pointing device, and a display control means 35 for controlling the display 34.

  The ordering terminal 7 has a plurality of functional configurations that recognize information transmitted from the server 3. That is, it includes an order request recognition unit 36 for recognizing a request for order information, a quote recognition unit 37 for recognizing an estimate, and a schedule request recognition unit 38 for recognizing a schedule request. Each piece of information recognized by these recognition means is sent to the display control means 35 and displayed on the display 34. In addition, the ordering terminal 7 includes a plurality of means for inputting information as a functional configuration. Specifically, the order information input means 39 for inputting the order information of the building material 9, the estimate instruction input means 40 for instructing the creation of an estimate for the input order information, and the schedule for the construction information are input. The schedule input means 41 is provided. Each information input by these input means 39, 40, 41 is transmitted to the server 3 via the transmission means 31.

  Next, the operation of the ordering support system 1 of the present embodiment, in particular, the processing flow in the server 3 (corresponding to the ordering support program of the present invention) will be described with reference to FIG. First, the server 3 is accessed from any of the ordering terminals 7 (YES in step S1), and when the ordering mode (ordering screen) of the building material 9 is selected in the ordering terminal 7 (YES in step S2), It is determined whether or not ordering information (product information and construction information) is input from the ordering terminal 7 (step S3). When the order information is input (YES in step S3), the order information is recognized and stored in the order information storage means 15 (step S4). At this time, the product information and the construction information are stored in association with each other.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an estimate instruction has been input from the ordering terminal 7. If the instruction has been input (YES in step S5), it is stored in the product information storage means 14 and the order information storage means 15. Based on the received information, an estimate 51 for each occupation is created and transmitted to the ordering terminal 7 (step S6).

  Further, when the construction schedule management mode (schedule input screen) is selected in the ordering terminal 7 (YES in step S7), it is determined whether or not a schedule corresponding to the construction information has been input (step S8). When the schedule is input (YES in step S8), the schedule is recognized and stored in the schedule information storage means 16 (step S9). At this time, the schedule and the construction information are stored in association with each other.

  On the other hand, when there is an access from the order receiving terminal 4 (YES in step S10) and the search instruction is input together with the designation of “delivery date” in the order receiving terminal 4 (YES in step S11), the information extracting means 25 Product information corresponding to the delivery date is extracted from the order information storage means 15 to create a delivery list 52, and the created delivery list 52 is transmitted to the order receiving terminal 4 (step S12). As a result, the delivery list 52 is displayed on the order receiving terminal 4, and the delivery status for each delivery date can be confirmed.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not an instruction for terminating the system has been input (step S13). If the instruction is input (YES), all the processes are ended. (NO), it returns to the process of step S1.

  As described above, according to the ordering support system 1 described above, the use location and construction type of the building material 9 picked up at the time of ordering are specified at the time of ordering, so that the ordering information is used for construction schedule management. It becomes possible. That is, the order information can be reused. For this reason, it becomes possible to easily set the delivery date of the plurality of building materials 9, and the burden on the orderer 6 can be reduced. In addition, since the schedule is set according to the construction information, even if the same type of building material 9 is placed in different places, it can be delivered according to the construction situation of each place, Convenience can be greatly improved.

  Further, according to the ordering support system 1 described above, since the estimate of the building material 9 is allocated based on the “classification of job type” stored in the ordering information storage means 15, the contents of the estimate sheet are recognized for each job type. This makes it possible to grasp prices and negotiate costs easily and smoothly. In particular, since construction information necessary for schedule management is used when preparing an estimate, the information can be validated and the labor of the orderer 6 can be further reduced.
