The Challenge

In a rapidly evolving retail landscape, understanding consumer behavior is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Our client, Gaps in the Matrix, faced the challenge of making sense of disparate sales data from multiple sources, including Walmart and David’s Bridal. They needed a unified, data-driven system to integrate, process, and analyze large datasets — uncovering hidden patterns in customer behavior, pricing, and sentiment to improve business decisions and profitability.

02

How We Solved The Problem

We spearheaded a comprehensive ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) project that consolidated and transformed raw, fragmented data into meaningful insights using a powerful and scalable data infrastructure.

Data Integration & ETL

Built automated ETL pipelines using Apache Airflow, Python (Pandas, NumPy), and SQL for seamless data extraction and transformation.
Leveraged Snowflake as the central data warehouse for efficient storage and high-speed query performance.

Advanced Data Analytics

Conducted multi-dimensional analysis on sales data across time intervals, demographics, and socio-economic variables.
Identified consumer preferences in color, brand, outfit types, jewelry, and household products to map purchase behavior trends.

Sentiment & Pricing Analysis

Used Natural Language Processing (NLP) via Hugging Face to analyze customer reviews, categorizing sentiments as positive, neutral, or negative.
Combined sentiment insights with pricing data to predict trends and optimize pricing strategies.

Predictive & Prescriptive Modeling

Applied forecasting algorithms to predict consumer demand and sales trends.
Delivered actionable recommendations for marketing, pricing, and inventory optimization.

Visualization & Reporting

Developed interactive dashboards in Power BI for real-time data exploration and visualization.

Scalability & Monitoring

Ensured continuous performance monitoring with Apache Kafka, AWS Lambda, and ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) integrated with Grafana for robust tracking and system health visualization.
