Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9858303A2] A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture involves a partially user-defined computerized transportation system. The method is implemented on a first user computer machine for processing an order for a service to be used in a segment of a future cargo shipment, the first user computer machine including a digital electrical computer having a processor programmed to electrically process input data to produce output data, the digital electrical computer being electrically connected to an input device, an output device, and a memory, the method including the steps of: for a first cargo shipment, processing an order for a service in a segment of the first cargo shipment to produce first cargo shipment order data in a database in the memory; for a second cargo shipment, second processing an order for the service in the second cargo shipment, the second processing including: if the price is not already in the data in the memory, then entering price data as a portion of the input data at the input device for processing by the first user computer; entering an other portion of the input data at the input device for processing by the first user computer, the other portion characterizing a beginning and an end for the furture use of the service in the future cargo shipment; and carrying out the processing of the input data by using at least some data from the first processing as a default in the second processing for the future use of the service for the future cargo shipment to produce the output data; and generating documentation of the second processing, including some of the output data. The method can be carried out such that the steps of entering are carried out by obtaining one of the portion of the input data or the other portion of the input data from a second user computer.
