The primary purpose of the retail_kmds_discount_analysis DAG is to evaluate how discounting strategies affect sales and profitability within the retail sector. This analysis is crucial for retailers aiming to enhance their pricing optimization efforts. The DAG ingests data from various sources, specifically ERP transaction logs and CRM sales records, ensuring a comprehensive view of sales activities and discount applications. The ingestion pipeline begins with data collection from these systems, followed by a normalization process that standardizes the data formats for consistency. Once the data is prepared, statistical analyses are applied to assess the correlation between discount levels and sales performance metrics. This includes calculating key performance indicators (KPIs) such as sales volume, profit margins, and customer acquisition costs. The outputs of this DAG include a detailed dashboard that visualizes the results of the analysis, highlighting areas where discounts have positively or negatively impacted sales. Additionally, it generates reports that provide insights into optimal discount strategies tailored to different customer segments. Monitoring of the DAG's performance is facilitated through KPIs, allowing stakeholders to track the effectiveness of discount policies over time. This continuous monitoring enables businesses to make informed decisions that maximize profitability while maintaining competitive pricing. Ultimately, the insights derived from this DAG empower retailers to refine their discount strategies, leading to increased sales and improved profit margins.
