"Retail continues to be a rapidly evolving environment, one which requires a combination of targeted retail science and an ongoing need for increasing nimbleness to meet those challenges," said Quantum Retail's CEO Steve Buege. "The QUE conference has been an ideal forum for Quantum to join with its clients and partners to share insights, define and refine best practices and collaborate about new ideas."

Many retail functions including forecasting and order planning, assortment and range planning, and allocation and replenishment continue to evolve quickly in today's Omni channel retail environments.  The QUE Conference focused specifically on addressing those challenges based on established best practices and sharing solutions proven effective for fast paced retail environments.  A number of Quantum's clients offered their thoughts regarding keys areas of value.

"At New Look we are leveraging the Quantum solutions to tackle the ever evolving challenges that we, as a multi-channel retailer, face on a daily basis," said Richard Lister, Merchandise Analytics Manager for New Look. "Meeting with other global retailers to discuss how retail is evolving, to share best practices and to offer input into the Quantum product roadmap was an invaluable experience."

Geoff Lloyd, Consultant Programme Manager at TALLY WeiJL Trading AG included, "QUE was extremely valuable. With an excellent speaker line-up, the conference agenda was relevant, topical and informative. A good mix of retailers from across the globe provided a useful opportunity to discuss and debate the changing retail landscape and share experiences. QUE was well organized and enjoyable; it was time well spent away from the frontline and it's not often you can truly say that about a user conference."

"Quantum solutions drive millions of decisions for our clients every day," added Morgan Day, Quantum's Vice President of Corporate and Account Strategy. "The QUE conference provides an annual opportunity to rise above the everyday transactions and spend some time strategizing with our clients regarding the best ways to leverage retail science in more visionary ways as we look to the future."
