( 2) For example, food shelves do not sell out early on a Saturday as they used to and a wider range of goods are available on a Monday. Using advanced communication between stores, Head Office and suppliers, the computers work out what has been sold each day, what suppliers need to produce, and what should be delivered to stores the following day. (3) Fewer customers are disappointed and profits improve.

(4) When a new season's range of clothes goes into stores in a variety of colors, the computer system makes it possible to respond to sales data almost overnight and, for example, increase the production of clothes in faster-selling colors and sizes. On the occasion that an item is temporarily out of stock, information technology enables sales staff to tell customers immediately whether it is available from the distribution center. If it is, an order can be placed. (5)
