More and more companies sell their products online. For some, this method of sales supplements their normal retail outlets while, for others, online is their only sales method.

Unlike mail order, there is no need for costly posting of brochures to customers.

UK tax returns can now be made online, making them much easier for the Inland Revenue to process as all data entry is carried out by the taxpayer.

Car tax can also be renewed online, meaning fewer administration staff are needed at the physical DVLA depot to process new car tax, as it is automated through filling an online application in.

Many booking reservation companies have set up business online, allowing customers to make flight booking, concert bookings etc.

This means the process of checking for double bookings is quicker and accurate and there is less need to have administration staff in a physical store processing and printing tickets, as such printing can be done at home!
