It eagerly needed a more effective system to realize the unification of standards and codes, data sharing, and real-time, dynamic, accurate and speedy information management that will provide managers of all levels tobacco information in Shenzhen and other regions in China. ISD developed the business information management system based on "Sixunsoft 2001 Jin-Xiao-Cun" distributed version, which already had the functions to support chain store mode and remote access. New functions were added based on business requirements.

The business information management system of Shenzhen tobacco company includes following modules: purchase, sales and inventory management.

For decision support of management there are general query subsystem and GIS query subsystem. It also has such subsystems as WWW information service and telephone order to improve efficiency.

The system provides automatic telephone order function. Customers only need to call the hotline at any time to order cigarettes. The wholesale station will deliver the ordered cigarettes to customer location ASAP.

The system is based on purchase and sales subsystem and centered on network access subsystem. All subsystems achieved data sharing and are interlinked and integrated. WWW browsers were built to introduce the company, its products and related policies. GIS map query function enables the users, especially managers to navigate on the regional map to get the information of business status, sales conditions by section and sales performance. The company's marketing operation processes have been greatly unified and improved.
