About Customer

Founded in France in 1976, Decathlon is a professional sports goods retailer specializing in the mass sports market, integrating the entire production chain of sports product design, R&D, production, branding, logistics, and retail. With over 1500 stores in 49 countries, it is the largest sporting goods retailer in the world.

The challenge
