This program would help the company by maintaining the current clients and customers previous orders, attach receipts, shipment orders, and any other documents directly to their profile. The company will be able to forecast future orders and share the information across the company using Windows SharePoint Services. Using this option will help the employees share information, back up the data, and will ultimately keep everybody working in a joint collaborative effort.

The data that is entered is automatically saved and the database is updated. While using access more than one person can work on the same file at one time. Excel only allows one person to use the spreadsheet at one time.
