Projects Making a Difference
Here's how our students transformed classroom concepts into solutions that businesses actually use every day.
Smart Budget Forecasting Platform
Three students built predictive budgeting software for mid-sized retailers. The system analyzes seasonal patterns and market trends to suggest monthly budget allocations. Currently used by eight stores in Ontario, it's reduced budget variance by 28% on average.
Community Investment Tracker
A team developed investment portfolio monitoring tools specifically for community organizations managing endowment funds. The dashboard provides clear visualizations of fund performance and helps treasurers make informed decisions about asset allocation.
