The primary purpose of this DAG is to enhance the security of e-commerce transactions by detecting fraud in real-time, thereby reducing potential financial losses for retail businesses. It ingests transaction data from ERP systems and CRM platforms, allowing for a comprehensive view of customer interactions and purchasing behaviors. The ingestion pipeline begins with the collection of transaction logs, which are then processed using advanced fraud detection models that analyze patterns and anomalies indicative of fraudulent activity. Quality control measures are implemented to ensure data integrity throughout the process, including validation checks and error handling mechanisms. In the event of a failure, a notification system alerts relevant stakeholders to address issues promptly. The outputs of this DAG include real-time fraud alerts, detailed reports on detected anomalies, and performance metrics that track the accuracy of the fraud detection models. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as detection rate, false positive rate, and response time are monitored to assess the effectiveness of the system. The business value of this DAG lies in its ability to minimize financial losses from fraud, enhance customer trust, and improve overall operational efficiency in the retail sector.
