4FINGERS was founded after its creators discovered the best Korean-styled fried chicken in New York’s Koreatown - they knew they had to share it. The recipe has since been refined and perfected, and its fried chicken has been constantly raved about since its inception in ION Orchard mall in 2009. In just two years, 4FINGERS added six more stores scattered all over sunny Singapore. Since then, they have expanded regionally to our neighbours - Malaysia and Indonesia.
 
 
 
With its aggressive expansion locally and regionally, 4FINGERS top-level management realised the value which data analytics is able to bring to the company, in terms of optimising their merchandising, menu offerings, and improving their bottom-line. As such, they hope to continue to derive valuable insights from their data to help them propel their growth even further, locally and regionally.

Dressabelle is a leading online fast-fashion retailer in Singapore. Dressabelle set themselves apart with not one but two fresh fashion collection every week. Their mission is for women to feel confident about themselves when they dress in their clothes. With affordable pricing they want women to know they don’t have to blow a couple hundred for a dress that doesn’t compromise on style or quality.

Business Problems

For sustained growth over the years, 4FINGERS has to launch new menu items to further entice their customers, with limited software and human resources at hand, they are unequipped with resources to determine the performance of promotions and set menu items. Although they have a variety of products to offer their customers, such as asian style burgers, rice boxes and salads, sales for products other than their signature Korean fried chicken, is generally low. Since their initial set up in Singapore, they have been using traditional metrics to measure success.

Motivation

4FINGERS’ marketing division has come up with various product mixes to upsell and cross-sell their products, without knowing which are the right products to upsell and cross-sell to increase the probability of customers making additional purchases. Hence, with the help of our team, 4FINGERS’ marketing division hopes to be able to market and offer a more targeted and hence appealing product mix to their specific customers segments depending on the location of the outlet, and ultimately generate high sales revenue at each outlet.

Our team realized that as Singaporeans, we love our food and appreciate it despite not knowing about the reasons for why our culture is as such. Hence, we are eager and honored at the opportunity to be able to take on this project and work together with 4FINGERS to better understand the lifestyle and Singaporean culture that we treasure and hold so dearly.

Project Objectives

The aim of this project is to help 4FINGERS understand and improve sales on 3 levels:

1. Product-level analytics - Analysing purchasing patterns and identifying commonly brought product combinations to find up-selling and promotional opportunities


2. Customer-segment level analytics - Identifying distinct groups of customers such as those who dine-in, take-away or call for delivery. Customers coming at different times of the day can exhibit different purchasing behavior


3. Outlet-level analytics - Performing analysis on outlet-level help identify location specific trends and demand. Testing and learning from our recommendations starting from a single outlet will help validate our hypothesis.

Project Scope

Data collection - Gather data from 4FINGERS POS systems and product catalog

Data preparation - Cleaning data and anonymising/censoring data

Analysis of Market Baskets - Generation of association rules and contextualising it with product information.

Analysis of Customers segments - Grouping market Basket analysis by customer segments data

Analysis of Outlet trends - Grouping market Basket analysis by outlet level data

Refinement - Get client feedback and refine our models
