The Tea Collection is a company that sells unique and higher class children’s clothing. A great key software application that The Tea Collection uses “makes the dress come to life” and it also finds regions that don’t have many stores with children’s clothing to find the best fit to open a new store for the company. On top of those features, there is also a back-end tool for the retailers to make orders online easier. The biggest technology challenge The Tea Collection has is having multiple systems that don’t integrate immediately. This puts extra work on the people and can take lots of time. I think in order to make sure all of the systems are synced together, they could make sure their software is updated and they may need to make some tweaks to it to conform to work better with their website. I don’t think the company could continue to grow if they kept the same software and hardware that they have in the video. I think the company can continue to grow rapidly because they are investing in new technology and keeping their software updated. It’s hard to keep a business going without technology in today’s society. Without technology there would need to be more people for the business, and there wouldn't be enough time to get everything done.
