Abstract

A delivery service management system utilizes a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying the source of a material and content information of this material and attached in a delivery service, a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying the source of an item obtained by processing the material and content information of the item and attached in a delivery service, and a two-dimensional bar code having key information for specifying a seller of the item and content information describing a selling condition of the item and attached in a delivery service. Every time a delivery service has occurred between the material system, the processing system, and the selling system, the key information and the content information are received from the two-dimensional bar code to a database. Delivery service information associated with a given source is fed back to the given source represented by the key information from a set of pieces of received information.
