About this project

Objective: To develop an interactive KPI dashboard and self-service analytics platform enabling retail executives to monitor and optimize business performance.

Retail chains in India face challenges in consolidating diverse data sources and providing actionable insights to executives, resulting in delayed or suboptimal decisions.

This project will involve mapping key business processes, identifying critical KPIs, gathering data (sales, inventory, customer, finance), and designing an interactive dashboard using industry-leading BI tools.

The student team will deliver a functional executive dashboard (sampled for one retail chain or a simulated dataset), user guide for self-serve analytics, and a summary report analyzing trends, outliers, and actionable recommendations.

The dashboard will empower decision-makers to track store performance, product categories, inventory health, and customer trends in real time, driving data-driven decisions and operational efficiency.
