Quickborn Consulting sponsored a student project of Telecom Nancy engineering school in France. A group of last year students worked on a specific industrial topic in close collaboration with Quickborn for a period of 6 months. In this project the students developed a Commercial Simulation Application and decision-making tool dedicated to retailers. This tool, based on Oracle Retail Predictive Application Server platform, helps retailers in the definition and planning of commercial business operations, such as promotions.
