Azizia Panda United (APU), hypermarket HyperPanda and supermarket chain Panda in Saudi Arabia selected Oracle solutions to optimize core retail operations.
Panda retail chain, which is operating 102 supermarkets and 47 hypermarkets across Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, selected Oracle systems to increase its market share by growing existing and new business models.
