By eliminating much of the work involved in manually maintaining the
inventory, the CSO Inventory System will help reduce management expenses.
This savings can in turn be transfered to the customer, giving the company
a competitive edge.
How will it help the users?
The system will take over most of the tasks that were previously
performed manually. For example, ordering of produce, automatic
inventory reduction, and generally recording all inventory transactions, will
all be performed by the system on an ongoing basis.

Some of the important features include:
User friendly environment
Authorization based on employee's position

What hardware will this system use?
The final system product would require a network of computers, terminals,
and cash registers, capable of supporting a distributed database, and
timesharing.

This system will be reliable, in that it will recover from erroneous input,
and any internal errors, thus guaranteeing that information will not be lost.
This system will not allow unathorized personel to gain access to privileged
information, and tasks.
