Know-Thy-Deals

Eatigo is an online restaurant reservation platform that serves to optimize restaurant capacity, by offering time-based discounts to manage demand. Operating on the principles of yield management, eatigo tries to help connect "empty tables" with "empty stomachs". Since its launch in 2013, eatigo has built a 2 million subscriber base.
However, despite its presence in markets with strong dining out culture, eatigo's reservation rates remain low. This is because only a small percentage of all the subscribers have ever made a reservation, and even amongst those who have, the number of bookings per month is low.
Our project aims to help increase reservation rates among eatigo subscribers.

Prediction and Test analytics for screening project applications on DonorsChoose.org
DonorsChoose.org empowers public school teachers across the United States by giving them a platform to appeal directly to donors on the web to contribute toward the purchase of resources needed for classroom projects for their students. Through charitable crowdfunding, thousands of these requests are fulfilled each year to help bring classrooms to life.


As the number of project submissions is set to increase, DonorsChoose.org needs to find a way to scale the current screening process so that projects can be reviewed and posted as quickly as possible, while retaining consistency in the vetting process.

Social Media Analytics with New Media Company The company is a local news media and content distribution platform based in Singapore. The company was first started as a spin-off project of 9GAG to generate localized content in 2012. Unlike 9GAG which allows users to upload their self-generated content, or using content taken from other social media platforms, the sponsor produces and uploads its own original content. Their content is centered primarily around memes and issues that are relevant to young Singaporeans.

To capture the interests of a wider audience, content generation is currently based on four strategies: relevance to audience, contains well-articulated stories, first to be published, and being unexpected. As of today, the company has approximately an audience size of 4 million per month across its platforms.

However, the company competes within a rapidly changing social media landscape where trends are short-lasting. It is therefore vital for the company to identify how to swiftly capture new trends and optimize their content for their targeted audience to attain a higher reach. This is relevant as the company's profitability is tied to its ability to effectively capture audience. Our project would strive to fulfill such goals by using analyzing their existing content published on their Facebook and YouTube channel.

Red Dot Payment

Founded by a group of visionary financial technology payment experts in 2011, Red Dot Payment (RDP) has grown into a trusted online payment company providing premium payment solutions and expertise to the brightest merchants across Asia Pacific. Bringing best-in-class practices, RDP is the trusted FinTech partner of banks, merchants, payment schemes, payment gateways, non-banking financial institutions, security and fraud management system providers. In 2016, RDP grew to handle millions of transactions across the globe, managed by a dedicated 40-person strong operation - with headquarters in Singapore, and offices in Thailand and Indonesia. Its products and services include - RDP connect, InstanCollect, InstanPay, InstanPromo and InstanToken.

While RDP handles millions of transactions across the globe, the company has not yet been able to derive any conclusive analysis from its transaction data. There is untapped potential that is unexplored here, as they operate online and thus have the advantage of easily collecting large amounts of valuable data about their merchants as well as their customers. In addition, there are many data points captured previously with little insights derived, resulting in business decisions being driven mainly by intuition. Moving forward, RDP hopes to gather a deeper understanding of their data and make more informed decisions utilising the patterns we identify from the data. Our project thus aims to help RDP make sense of their data, to make profound observations from the datasets and to develop recommendations that can help guide their future business decisions.

Technical Analysis and Time Series Forecasting of Price Movements for Forex Currency Pairs pH7 is a private investment firm that serve clients who are keen to appreciate their wealth and grow their capital. With its expertise in trading of financial instruments and information analysis capabilities, it provides business solutions that are customised to their clients’ needs. Capitalising on cutting edge technology in their work, pH7 has been excelling in efficiency and professional.


The ability to understand and visualize price movements of foreign exchange rates plays an important role in discovering insights for trading companies. Our client signed up with software companies and deployed their own data collection platforms for storing and accessing the latest exchange rate data to gain some insights on the movements of exchange rates. However, their brokerage provided dashboards do not deliver any combined analysis across more than one technical analysis model. Hence, they are interested to understand trends and price movements of currency pairs using technical analysis to enable them to better forecast and make more informed trade executions for their clients.

Our group will be using technical analysis-Bollinger Bands, RelativeStrengthIndex and Time Series Forecasting- ARIMA method to analyze price movements and provide a form of trading action which they could adopt for USD/JPY currency pair. This would allow them to forecast future trends in the finance market and make more informed decisions in their trade executions.

Indiscriminate Parking of Shared Bicycles in Singapore: Highlighting Operational Implications of Data Quality Issues and Analyzing a bike sharing companyoBike’s Responsiveness via Geospatial Analysis
Beginning their operations in January 2017, oBike is Singapore’s first homegrown stationless smart bicycle-sharing company which uses technology to change how transportation is viewed locally. oBike has bicycles located all over the island, and these bikes have built-in Bluetooth locks to enable one-way first and last mile commuting. This provides a convenient and environmentally friendly commute option for all, especially given Singapore’s compact size and interconnected urban areas. Despite intense competition stemming from other bicycle-sharing companies such as Mobike and OFO, oBike has achieved over one million downloads since its inception. Data has revealed that the company has consistently been at the top in terms of total number of application downloads, earning them the title of “Southeast Asia’s bike-sharing leader.”

However, in recent months, Singapore’s Land and Transport Authority (LTA) has issued new rules and regulations, requiring bicycles to be parked in designated yellow boxes around the islands. LTA enforcers survey the island, and issue tickets to bike-sharing companies in the event where bicycles are found to be illegal parked. From the time a ticket is issued, oBike has a mere four hours to move their illegally-parked bicycles. Failure to do so will incur hefty fines. Consequently, oBike’s current challenge is to manage illegal parking of their bicycles.

Koi Logistics Analysis

KOI is one of the most well-known bubble tea brands in Singapore, founded in 2006. Despite this, it is facing logistics problems in their daily operations such that employees in different branches have difficulty predicting the right amount of ingredients to order. Moreover, space constraints of each branch is different and have to be taken into consideration, since not every branch can order the same amount of quantity, leading to a steep learning curve for new employees.

Current employees also do not fully understand how much ingredients would be needed during promotional periods of certain products. As such, our project aims to focus on predictive analysis tools along with data provided by KOI to better understand correlations between different factors and sales, helping employees make better informed decisions on how much to order in the future.

Inventory Analytics for F&B Company

Our sponsor is a food-service organisation that owns and manages various renowned restaurant brands. XYZ Company has evolved into different concepts, with further overseas expansion. Under these concepts, the group has a total of 13 outlets in Singapore.

Currently, our sponsor is not able to accurately determine the number of ingredients to order for their chain of restaurants. It is often based on guesswork and gut feeling which has often led to excessive holding costs as well as food wastage and in some cases, shortage of ingredients. This is not ideal as it may lead to various issues such as cost due to the non-freshness of the product, throwing of food due to expiry, not enough space in storage, the inability to satisfy customer demand, etc.

Our main objective is to forecast the number of ingredients needed for the next order cycle and create a user-friendly application which they can use. This application would be based on a predictive model that we will develop and refine. With this application, the staff can more accurately gauge the optimal inventory quantity and order quantity and not need to rely on gut feeling from previous experience, as is the existing practice. In summary, our business goal is to ensure accurate and optimal orders to fulfil storage, optimising storage space for each individual outlet.

Alleviating Operational Costs

Company ABC is a local SME within the logistic sector here in Singapore and is a typical example of a company that is currently facing problems maneuvering through its data to derive operational solutions. More specifically, Company ABC is facing an overarching problem of high operational costs which is primarily caused by un-optimized hiring in the various peak and erroneous filling process, which the team aims to solve through analytical approaches.


The team will be utilizing several key software and libraries, as well as taking into consideration the various limitations pertaining to the data, and ultimately aims to reduce the operational costs of Company ABC. Besides having short-term cost reductions, the company may also benefit from greater employee satisfaction and better brand reputation – which could potentially aid the company in achieving its long-term vision of expanding into other countries.

Assessing success factors and impact of YMCA's programmes

As one of the biggest and most recognizable VWOs in Singapore, Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) prides itself on being at the forefront of social innovation in the VWO landscape, with their programmes being fully subscribed to by organizations and individuals. Despite having a large reach across different target communities, YMCA has not been able to accurately identify if they have truly made an impact on their beneficiaries, or their key success factors in their programmes. Hence, a Social Return on Investment (SROI) framework will developed based on their current data to provide directions for YMCA to improve their programmes.

Behavioral analysis of users from Database Request Log

With over 250 000 e-books provided by both Lee Ka Shing (LKS) library and Kwa Geok Choo (KGC) law library through the web service at library.smu.edu.sg, SMU library provide an array of collections to cater to support teaching and research across the multiple schools and faculties. Currently, SMU library purchases e-books on certain databases through the Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) scheme. The PDA scheme allows SMU library to list e-books that are not yet purchased as “available” to SMU community. These e-books are subsequently automatically purchase upon meeting some trigger points when access by the SMU community. At the moment, it has been highlighted that some e-book purchases are triggered by a single unique user due to repeated access. As a result, it diminishes the effective use of PDA funds as the e-books are not widely used across SMU community.

We aim to derive actionable insights from the data based on the behavioural patterns of users and understand the extent of effectiveness that PDA provides in meeting the needs of SMU community.

TeamDAcctnew.png Using Multiple Linear Regression to Analyse Factors Affecting Costs Incurred for Cleaning Projects: A Case Study of a Cleaning and Conservancy Company in Singapore LS 2 Services Pte Ltd is a local cleaning and conservancy company that provides building cleaning services, landscape care and maintenance services activities in Singapore. For each prospective project site, costs incurred is estimated before tender is submitted. Expected costs incurred for each project has always been estimated based on the experience and professional judgement of its top management. However, such a method is not sufficient in cost-estimation as seen from several instances of loss-making projects. In this paper, we use multiple linear regression to build an explanatory model to find out what affects the various cost components incurred for conservancy project types. Explanatory variables such as dwelling units and commercial units converted to Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU) are derived from identifying the facility descriptions of various project sites. The model being built for each cost component will help identify key possible cost drivers, as well as analyse whether an increase in any of the explanatory variables determined has an impact on manpower headcount as a cost driver.

Freight Data Analysis

This project aims to study into a critical factor behind XXX’s success as a freight transportation service provider: the price of its corporate shipping contracts. Contract bidding refers to the process of XXX submitting a tender to secure a corporate contract in order to provide its freight services to a company. To secure its shipping contracts, XXX has to go through several bidding rounds with competitors, which include major players such as UPS, Fedex and other companies in the same region. By discovering insights into the factors affecting the bidding price for its shipping contracts, this better allows XXX to understand the thought process and motivation behind the bidding results of its customers, across various industries as well as different countries, and potentially better prepares them for negotiation with their customers for future contract bidding rounds by offering better terms which are of greater concern specifically for different types of customers, thus enabling them to have a higher chance of earning contracts and reaping more profits.

Improving Chope’s marketing campaigns through data analysis
Chope is a Singapore-based restaurant reservation platform which connects diners to restaurants in real-time. In the past, restaurant reservations had to be made through phone calls, which could only be done during operating hours. Chope allows users to make instant reservations with zero booking or cancellation fees, with most of its revenue generated by charging restaurants fixed and per-diner fees for the use of its reservation system. With ambitions of becoming the dominant player in the region, Chope has been rapidly expanding in recent years and now serves over 2000 restaurants in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Beijing, Jakarta and Bangkok.

Most of the restaurant reservations on the Chope system are done via its website. Hence, the marketing channel utilised most by Chope is its Electronic Direct Mailer (EDM) to its user base, featuring content such as promotional deals, new restaurant additions and curated lists. As consumers have very varied preferences in the Food and Beverages industry, Chope hopes to improve the effectiveness of its EDM campaigns through better segmentation and personalisation with the help of analytical tools, which they believe would result in an increase in the number of reservations per user from the existing user base, translating directly to more revenue being generated.

Analysis of Southeast Asian Hub Ports
The Straits of Malacca are one of the world’s most important trade corridors and transshipment regions, accounting for one quarter of the world’s transshipments. Furthermore, the ASEAN region is one of the fastest growing marine trade routes, as it includes many countries with developed and developing maritime infrastructure. There are 3 important ports in the Strait of Malacca, Port of Singapore, Port Klang and Port Tanjong Pelepas. Our sponsor, operates port of Singapore, one of the world’s largest ports.

Expanding a port’s capacity requires a large capital outlay. Furthermore, Singapore incurs a high opportunity cost due to its landmass constraints. Therefore, capacity planning is important to ensure that the port achieves a high utilization rate and maximizes its profit potential.

Through this study, we hope to gain insights into the operation of these ports, and then use their respective strengths and weaknesses to formulate relevant operational strategies.

oBike is Singapore's first homegrown stationless smart bikesharing company which uses technology to change how transportation is viewed locally. It allows commuters to travel during one-way first and last mile commuting – via bicycles located all over the island. As the use of smart bike sharing becomes more prevalent, the number of indiscriminate parking is on the uprise too. oBike has received numerous tickets from Land Transport Authority (LTA), Town Council and NParks regarding bike users not parking within the marked out yellow box.

The project objective(s):
1. To identify where and when, indiscriminate parking is likely to occur so as to better manage the bikes before reports are made by citizens and government agencies.

2. Focus on a specific area in Singapore to see how better optimization can be done on the allocation of bikes during the different time of the week.
