All companies have to look at flow of information within their company.
For example, as orders come in to the company they need to be checked and then passed to the correct internal departments. From there perhaps an item is taken from a warehouse, prepared, and then sent to shipping. Throughout this system both the person placing the order, and various managers and workers within the company need to track the progress. Additionally, managers and executives need to see timely reports and graphs showing the status of each step of the process. Companies currently solve internal tracking systems in a variety of ways, ranging from pencil and paper to sophisticated and costly commercial systems.
