Penguin Industries is expanding its business into two adjacent states. It has hired a consultant to help with the transition. The consultant has suggested that the company employ an OLTP system because it will help record transactions at the end of each day, reduce the company's inventory by each unit sold, increase the sales figures for each unit sold, and increase the cash position of the store in which the purchase was made. Evaluate the consultant's advice.

He is incorrect that an OLTP system would help the company with its expanded business as OLTP systems are used only for businesses that conduct the bulk of their transactions with customers and vendors online. If Penguin Industries has no online business, it should, instead, choose a TPS$.$

He is correct that an OLTP system will help the company with its expanded business; however, he is incorrect in saying that the OLTP system records the transactions at the end of each day. It actually records transactions in real time which would likely be more helpful to Penguin Industries.

He is correct that an OLTP system will help the company with its expanded business; however, he is incorrect in saying that the system would be able to reduce the company's inventory by each unit sold as that would have to be manually entered into the system by someone in the stock or warehouse department.

He is correct that an OLTP system will not only help the company with its expanded business by offering the benefits of daily transaction processing, inventory update, sales updates, and cash updates.
