Jean Comings, besides being a key principal in Kahn & Comings, has been in charge of Data Processing for the last 13 years.

We then input item information directly onto a customer's own forms or a Kahn & Comings formal quote. This database is compiled and includes every factory that we represent. This system is multi-factory friendly and was revolutionary in the industry.
The Kahn & Comings system, designed by Jean, has been purchased and used by other top firms around the country. Jean also works directly with M.I.S. Managers from our top retail chains to explore and create more efficient processing of the immense data that is needed to operate under today's current retail environment.
