Need Applied Case(s) for Intro to IS course

I usually give to my students in Introduction to IS (it is the first undergrad course in IS for them) a simple case to solve. I want them to have an idea of the difference between data and applications and to understand TPS, MIS and DSS in practice. So, for example, in the past I gave them to do an hotel reservation system in Excel. I gave them a basic system to improve. They had to create a searchable DB of clients, register bookings, deplete stock, create invoices (TPS), they had to make overview graphs (MIS), and have the system suggest a discount rate (DSS).
