Navigating the E-Commerce Maze: Data-Driven Strategies for Success

The Challenge:

An e-commerce business has to handle huge volumes and diverse data across several dimensions like sales channels, product information, order status, and fulfillment process. This rich dataset results in several challenges:

• Data Variety: The dataset encompasses order details, shipment details, categories of products, and sales channels. The integration and analysis of such diversified data mandate a structured approach to extract insights from it.
• Complex reporting requirements: The stakeholders must have an overview of the performance across different channels, products, and time. In consequence, it is difficult to track some important indicators regarding sales trends, product performances, and channel effectiveness due to the lack of a unified reporting system.
