Abstract

An interactive logistics management method is disclosed to build multiple Web sites and employs lot ids to connect the information in these Web sites to provide the basis for logistics handling, tracking and management.

the system updating the out-of-date data in provision, distribution and manufacture Web sites by the confirmation in the manufacture Web site, and automatically generating notifications to inform the provider and distributor of the status of the goods.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the provision Web site is a logistics Web site built in the provider.
