We had an office in London, and an office in Anwerp. Part of what we do involved trading futures.
On more than one occasion London would be selling furiously into an apparent black hole that our Anwerp office was desperately trying to plug.
All they actually needed to do was talk to each other, and make a one cell change on a spreadsheet. It'd cost us 20 grand in brokerage instead.
