ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS 1: QUARTER WISE PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

This block analyses the sales of the various products quarter wise. This
analysis is beneficial because it helps us to find the best performing
product for each quarter. This insight will be helpful to in many ways. It
will help in forecasting the demand of a particular product that sells more
in a particular quarter and the stationary chain can stock more of the
products as compared to others. It will also help in streamlining the supply
chain management of the products so that the demand does not outrun
the supply.

With the help of this block, the user can select a particular year and the
quarter for the year and then the product to get the sales of that product.
The highest selling product is colored in green, the lowest selling product
is colored in red and the selected product is colored in purple.

REPRESENTATIVES

customer type. This block is helpful in finding out the sales done to each

representative. It contains the estimated units that were desired to be
sold against the actual number of units that were sold by the
representative. It is a measure of performance for the company. The

well by selling more than the total estimated units.

performance is to be seen. The green colored bar shows the estimated
units for the year, the blue colored bar shows the actual units achieved
and the purple colored bar shows the case when the representative has
sold more units than estimated.

ANALYSIS 5: REGION WISE SALES OF PRODUCTS

the product that are not well received so that they can devise proper
strategies to push the other products as well.

ANALYSIS 6: REGION WISE SALES OF PRODUCT FOR EACH

QUARTER

The block takes the previous block in more depth. In the previous block we
can analyze the region wise sales of the products whereas in this block we
can analyze the region wise sales of the products for each quarter.
Therefore we can now go into some in depth analysis of the sales of the
product for each region for each quarter. It would be helpful in focusing on
a product that is more in demand in a particular region for a particular
time interval. Therefore in case of limited supplies from their supplier
they can carefully plan to send the most demanded product in that region
for the quarter. It will also provide them with an opportunity to focus more
on a particular product.

With the help of this block the user can enter the year, quarter, region a d
product. The highest selling product is colored in green and the lowest is
colored in red.
