The primary purpose of this DAG is to streamline stock management processes in the retail sector, ultimately reducing operational costs and minimizing stockouts. It ingests real-time inventory and sales data from various inventory management systems, ensuring timely and accurate data availability. The ingestion pipeline normalizes and historicalizes the data to maintain quality and consistency, which is crucial for reliable analysis. Following data ingestion, the DAG employs advanced predictive models that take into account promotional activities and consumer trends to forecast stock needs effectively. These models analyze historical sales patterns and current inventory levels to generate actionable insights. The results are then published to an interactive dashboard, providing stakeholders with real-time visibility into stock levels and trends. Alerts are generated for critical stock levels, enabling proactive management decisions. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as stock turnover rates, forecast accuracy, and stockout incidents are monitored to assess the effectiveness of the optimization efforts. The business value derived from this DAG includes improved inventory efficiency, reduced holding costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction through better stock availability.
