Us Regional Sales

This project is a time Series analysis, to analyze the sales trend and patterns, product performance across the regions, the sales channel effectiveness over time , and changes in demand in telling a compelling data-driven story, and presenting my findings to an audience.

The objectives of this analysis is to gain insight on our sales on the dataset to solve the business issues stated below:

1.Examined sales performance across the regions, using the warehouse-code as the regions.

2.Examined how the sales channels affected sales performance.

3. Examine the impact of discount on sales.

4.Examine sales order quantity by product distribution.

5.Comparing sales performance across the different regions by rating.

From my analysis above, we can see the impact of discount on sales is not that significant, given that sales wasn’t even affected when there was a discount of 4%, though sales started climaxing at 15% discount, sales still climax when the discounts dropped to 5% .

Hence, discount impact not significant on sales.

We can improve by establishing more in-store channels to improve sales performance across the regions.
