This may have potential, but in this for there  is little value to data alone (van den Hoven, 2002). The current system is one that is limited in the approach but alble to prove data that is required,  The level of access is currently limited to 80 members of staff. However, to consider the value we also have to consider how it should be used. Data, when analysed  and pout into some for of order may indicate buying patterns, not only general patters, but also regional patterns.
