Retail Sales Analytics with Automated Insights
Analyzed retail transaction data using Python, SQL, and Power BI to uncover revenue drivers, product dependencies, and geographic concentration risks.
Developed an automated analysis pipeline to generate scalable, business-ready insights across global markets.
Project Overview
A global retail company needed better visibility into sales performance across products, regions, and time to support strategic decision-making.
The challenge was to transform raw transactional data into structured insights, while enabling scalable analysis without manual effort.
Key Results
The analysis revealed that revenue growth was concentrated in a small number of products and heavily dependent on a single geographic market.
Automating country-level analysis enabled consistent insight generation across 30+ markets, significantly reducing manual reporting effort.
The dashboard provides clear visibility into performance trends, risks, and opportunities, supporting data-driven decision-making.
