The Project

Do you want to discover the impact of vacation management on profits or how supplier choice affects bank balance? Then econoPy is the right place for you.

econoPy is a project born with the aim of providing students, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople with a free training ground to practice the complex discipline of business management. Often, people have good entrepreneurial ideas, but the lack of skills and experience can quickly lead to failure.

30 hours spent on econoPy between simulations and readings provide the tools to understand the relationships between the various levers available to a manager to revive the fortunes of a struggling company or to increase the turnover of an already well-established one.

econoPy's economic model is that of a small-medium manufacturing company in a B2B market (your customers are other companies) and could be likened to a market for t-shirts, stationery, food, or accessories.

econoPy (Economy + Python) is developed in Python, although the graphical interface is in PHP.

A heuristic approach is used to simulate the customer and competitor market, so it's possible that with the same inputs, the result may be slightly different, which is normal.
