Question

Transcribed Image Text:Answer the questions based on the below case study.
'XXX Leathers' is a store which mainly makes leather products such as bags and wallets.
Many of their products are made to customer orders.
They have a manual system now and use catalogues containing the items sold by them. Now,
they are thinking of moving online to broaden their customer base and to process orders
quickly and efficiently.
Their customer base for the catalogue system was relatively small and geographically close to
the store location. Many users of the catalogue were long time customers and found it easy
and convenient. They were not comfortable moving to a different medium (online) to place
orders when their existing catalogue worked effectively. This forced them to market their
products on the site to a much different and expanded customer base.
