Project Description

This project presents an interactive Sales and Customer Dashboard, developed in Tableau to provide deep visibility into customer dynamics, sales performance, and regional business trends. The goal was to empower business leaders with real-time insights for strategic planning and execution.

The dashboard integrates key performance indicators across multiple dimensions, including total sales, customer segments, product categories, and geographical regions. By using rich visualizations and drill-down capabilities, it supports granular analysis of customer behavior and sales trends — leading to more informed, data-driven decisions.

Introduction

Understanding who your customers are, where they come from, and what they buy is critical to business growth. This project aimed to build a comprehensive dashboard that not only presents high-level performance metrics but also enables deeper exploration of sales and customer analytics.

Using Tableau, we visualized sales distribution, customer acquisition patterns, and product performance across various regions. The dashboard is equipped with interactive filters, charts, and heatmaps — helping stakeholders answer questions like:

• Which customer segments generate the most revenue?

• What regions have the highest sales volume?

• How do product categories perform across time?
