KL&A developed this system, which assists Handleman buyers in making purchasing and product placement decisions. The system uses historical sales data to develop customer strength ratings, and predict sales levels for new product purchases. The system was developed using VB on the client side; the main NRB database is written in SQL Server, and is heavily based on custom stored procedures. The application also makes connections to several Handleman Oracle bases, for transmission of orders generated by the NRB system.
