employees was daunting and management was unclear who was coming in and what areas temporary staffing was needed.

salesmen are on the road and dealing with customers. Previous years sales of clients could be uploaded locally and salesman could access three provinces away.

• The affordability of the linked communication and video chat would have been appealing to them as well since expense of other sites was frowned on.

Previous Employers Usefulness:• This site is not be applicable for my previous employer which was a manufacture company.

Because a lot of orders vary from one client to another ,the amount of communication required would have a greater chance of getting jumbled and a frustrated client they would have.

• Even when they opened the retail shop, the site would still be too limited to offer customer orders for fencing. Most items were custom ordered and details and dimensions needed changing.
