PROJECT DESCRIPTION
- Data visualization software is a powerful analytical tool. With the necessary data, an ideal set of visualizations provides clear information about sales trends and operational data and is highly adaptable to users’ changing needs. This helps businesses better understand their strengths, weaknesses, and performance against competitors, and make quicker and more effective business decisions. A competitive edge is thus obtained against users of primitive data visualization methods, such as static charts and graphs - which are less customizable, take more time to update and provide less information in the long run.
- This project will explore the benefits of data visualization improvements on a client, which is a well-established Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) company. The study will use actual data for distribution, sales, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and price between 2014 and 2017. The data is currently visualized in a simple Excel dashboard, which provides limited information. In this project, we begin with data-cleaning and transformation processes in converting raw data into the flat data structure necessary for visualization, then assess the suitability of two more powerful and sophisticated visualization methods – Tableau and Qlik Sense. Finally, we recommend the platform which best suits the client’s needs, along with plans and recommendations for the client moving forward.
- As a project team, we aim to improve our client’s data processing and analytics methods to improve their efficiency, provide clearer and more dynamic visualizations, and allow them to make improved marketing decisions.
