CLUB IT part 2
The owners, Lisa Tejada and Ruben Keys, have just completed extensive remodeling to the interior of their Club IT that included the clubs tall ceilings and lighting to create an exciting atmosphere for their customers to enjoy.

The three solutions Lisa and Ruben should consider using are supply chain management (SCM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM).
