I agree with the main options, but I'd add that Inbound Logistics is also affected. I mean, the automatic re-ordering process is part of that, right? This company is really making the most of their IT systems.

Haha, I bet the warehouse robots are having a field day with all this automation. Do they get breaks, or are they just non-stop picking and delivering?

Wait, what about Services? Doesn't the automated pick-up and delivery system count as a service to customers? I'm not so sure about this one.

I believe Inbound Logistics might also be affected, as the automatic re-order processing with suppliers would streamline the inventory management process.

I agree with you, Margurite. The company's ability to analyze buying behavior and sales trends definitely impacts Sales and Marketing.

I think the answer is B, Operations, C, Outbound Logistics, and D, Sales and Marketing. The company's use of IT and IS has clearly affected how they manage their inventory, distribution, and customer data. It's a no-brainer!
