Background
Most producers use intermediaries to bring their products to market. They use a set of interdependent organizations in the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user. This process is what has been known as distribution channel. Distribution describes all the logistics involved in delivering a company's products or services to the right place, at the right time, for the lowest cost. In the unending efforts to realize these goals, the channel of distribution selected by a business play a vital role in this process. Well-chosen channel constitute a significant competitive advantage, while poorly conceived or chosen channel can doom even a superior product or service to failure in the market. Effective distribution provides customers with convenience in the form of availability (what, where, when - the right product, at the right place, at the right time), access (customers' awareness of the availability and authorization to purchase), and support (e.g. pre-sales advice, sales promotion and merchandising, post-service repairs). In the world today, manual systems of operations are gradually being replaced by automated or computerized systems [3].
The technology used is database technology, Microsoft Access 2003 was used as the database while Visual BASIC 6.0 was used as the front end. For instance, the source code below shows how adodc1 control is used to update product distribution record to database.
