control of time.

Inventory management
"In the retail sector (…), many companies make a high percentage of their sales during an eight-day period around Christmas. If you rely on old information, it gives you an idea of what people are going to buy and in what quantity, but if you can capture that several times a day, you can move products to where the demand is. It allows you to react to needs and trends on a real-time basis"
