Product Sales Analysis: Comprehensive Insights Across Regions

This project focuses on a detailed analysis of product sales across various regions, utilizing a well-structured Star Schema data model to enhance reporting and analytics efficiency. The goal was to uncover actionable insights, optimize sales strategies, and improve decision-making processes.

Data Model Design:

To enable efficient analysis and reporting, I designed a Star Schema consisting of:

Fact Table:

Sales: Captures key metrics such as total sales, total profit, units sold, and total orders, serving as the central data repository for quantitative analysis.

Dimension Tables:

Products: Details about product names, categories, and attributes.

Customers: Insights into customer demographics and behaviors.

Time: Includes details like year, quarter, month, and day for time-based analysis.

Regions and Locations: Captures geographical data to analyze sales performance by area.

Key Highlights and Insights:

Total Sales:

$89.99M

Represents the sum of all revenue generated during the specified period. This metric provides an overall view of business performance and growth potential.

Total Profit:

Indicates net earnings after costs, reflecting profitability. This is crucial for assessing cost efficiency and profit margins.

Units Sold:

2M Units

Refers to the total volume of products sold, helping to gauge product demand and overall market penetration.
