Vendor Stock Sales Data Analysis, Findings & Strategies

At VisionOne, we took on a challenging data analysis project to rigorously demonstrate our expertise and expand our methodological portfolio. Utilizing advanced SQL, our team meticulously handled a large sales dataset, ensuring comprehensive data cleaning and transformation. Subsequently, we leveraged Tableau to craft intuitive and visually compelling charts and graphs.

  • Study out the purchasing behaviour of customers based on the frequently changes in pricing of certain SKUs.
