For example, if all departments such as stock keepers, vendor managers, and accounts managers have access to the same database then they will be all on the same page and up to date with the latest information regarding available stock or if there is a price change. This way if a customer inquires about product price the salesperson can immediately look up the price and assist the customer without having to contact any other department.
