Absolutely.

In fact, you might not even need threads, since the control between the
three processes might be totally event/message driven.

For example, something like this:

...
static void Main(string[] args) {
...
	i = new InvoiceHandler();
	c = new CustomerHandler();
	v = new InventoryHandler();
...
}

....
[in some menu control routine]
	openNewCustomerDialog();
....


Then the code in the customer dialog will call methods in the customer
handler to register the new customer, and so on..
