Question 18 pts Blue Pty Ltd (Blue) is a fuel retailer with eight service stations across metropolitan Adelaide.

In order to be competitive in the fuel market, BTW will need to update its accounting software, and also its payroll and human resources systems to cope with the significant increase in its workforce and to ensure that it is operating efficiently.
