  • Publication number: 20030220850
    Abstract: A method and a system for managing online product delivery are provided. In operation, an order database for storing order data and a user database for storing data of delivery end users are established. So, a user at the purchase end only needs to input the new quantity of products to be delivered if the quantity of the order is to be modified. Once the buyer inputs a desirable quantity of products to be purchased into the system for managing product delivery, a quantity counting module would count the quantity of the current stock, maximum stocks, and product ordered by buyers, so as to display the maximum and minimum quantities of products available for delivery on a web page of the system for managing product delivery. Therefore, users at the delivery end are updated with the order details and the stocks of the buyers through a network system and a browser, to thereby make appropriate product delivery.

  • Publication number: 20030061108
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a method of online purchasing and inventory distribution of materials. Through the combination of an inventory management system and an accounting system, approved materials are temporarily stored in a supplier's temporary stored area in a storage of the purchaser. Only after the materials are indeed shipped to the production lines will the payment procedure begin. Using such a model of online purchasing to pay at the same time materials are used can transfer part of the material stocking cost over to the suppliers, thus lowering the stocking cost at the purchaser. Applying this method of completing material payment at the same time materials are supplied can not only simplify material shipping procedure but also ensure the timing for materials needed immediately on the production lines.
