Brief description of the company

Hey guys, this is how the company description is going so far. This time I tried to concentrate mainly on the system, referring back to the interview and getting most of my information from there because I wasn't exactly sure what specific area of the business I'm supposed to be talking about. Anyways have a read of it and let me know if i'm wayyyyyyyyy off the point or if things just need to be altered or changed.

Brief description of the company

We have been hired to make a system as efficient as possible for a retail company that deal in four main areas. In each of these areas of retail specific salespersons are required to have knowledge of the area in which they are dealing with. Because the company is divided, it makes sense that the checkouts and data systems are all kept separate as to avoid confusion.

We’ve been assigned to work in the Electrical Appliances area of the company.

The company already has a very detailed system. It is designed to hold specific information such as its: Name, Model code, description, quantity, retail price, margin, rebate on item, sales history. It gathers all this data so that any employee can quickly get any information needed about a particular model.

With this company anything that is ordered for retail is not paid for right away. The company doesn’t pay anything for the stock for a prearranged number of months. This allows the company to first sell all the stock and gain a profit before having to pay. This however can lead to problems if not all the stock is sold before the set pay date, which could result in a loss to the company. The system currently does not have a function in which to warn staff that certain stock is approaching this deadline.

Currently the only members of the company that have permission to access and edit the stock system are the managers. The main employees are only allowed to view it.
