Silver City Sounds is a company specializing in the sale of CDs and music DVDs by mail order and telephone. A stock of over 100 000 discs is currently held in the warehouse. The company is moving to new offices and wishes to install a networked information system that will help to coordinate its DVDs/CDs selling business. Information regarding stock level of any CD or DVD must be accessible to all members of the sales team at the same time and must be kept up-to-date on a sale-by-sale basis. In addition, the system should give the Sales Manager a summary of data and information on total sales made on any particular day with the corresponding amount of money and the balance of stock. This data and information would make the management to make necessary strategic decisions for purposes of helping the company to increase on its future sales.
