Kudler Fine Foods could use this information to determine the types of goods the customers purchase. This could be very helpful to help inventory in all our store and keep widely used stock available to our customers for future purchases. Last would be the business documents.

Customer complaints, ideas and even unmet goals that were listed, but never acted upon within the company could be discovered through the business documents. These documents would bring together the things that would either be overlooked or disregarded over a period of time at the organization.
