Sales and marketing might be impacted as well, especially with the customer data analysis for targeted marketing, but I'm not entirely certain about the third choice.

Okay, I think I've got this. The company is using IT/IS for inventory management, order processing, and customer data analysis. That covers Inbound Logistics, Operations, and Sales & Marketing. I'll select those three options.

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?
