Meaning of "Tertiary Sales"

Hello,

I would like to know the meaning of "Tertiary Sales" on the following sentence:

Do you keep tertiary sales data and/or any other records that would enable us to track and trace the use and supply of its products/property?

Thanks a lot,

Paulo

"Tertiary" for anything means the 3rd level or tier. There is primary, secondary, and then tertiary. So for sales this would mean the third level of sales data- most often this is referring to the sale of goods, stocks, etc, to the end-user or consumer by a distributor.
