An SFA (Sales Force Automation) server stores a customer database. The
customer database stores: a customer name and/or staff name of
corresponding customer; a business transaction of the customer; detail
information representing business activities for achieving the business
transaction, a completion scheduled date, and an actual completion date;
information for determining whether each maturity stage has been
attained; a check flag representing whether a maturity item has been
attained, and a strategic scenario showing some plans for the business
transaction toward the customer. Each ef-sales-staff terminal inputs the
above-data, stores the input data, and displays the detail information of
the business activities in chronological order of the scheduled dates in
the form of a list. The displayed data can be viewed from a manager
terminal as well. An SCM (Supply Chain Management) server estimates
the-demand for products, based on the check flag stored in the customer
database.
