Here
are some benefits which can be obtained by effective use of databases:
Track
Customer Orders - Your customers details, address, order
history etc can be tracked easily giving you quick access to when
they ordered and what they have ordered in the past. Using this
data you could find out who has bought a particular item and contact
them if you can offer a similar or complimentary product.
Interact
with your Website - Your office database can be synchronised
with your web site database so stock levels or new/changed products
are instantly accessible via your web site.
Automate
Publishing - If you maintain stock lists, price lists,
product catalogues or even web site content, then all these can
be held in the database and be easily created or modified.
Maintain
Accurate Stock Control - your stock levels, parts can
be tracked and give early warning when stocks are low and things
need re-ordering, thereby eliminating loss of sales or production.
Serial
Number Tracking - If you supply items with serial numbers,
issue numbers or versions, these may be tracked and traced to suppliers
or customers.
Create
Mailing Lists - Your customers details can be used to
create a mailing list so you can mailshot or email your existing
or past customers about special offers and new developments in your
company.
