FAQ
What kind of data do I need to provide?
To get the best results, historical sales data (from Shopify, Square, WooCommerce, or your custom POS system) and current inventory counts are ideal. However, even if your data is currently trapped in messy, unorganized spreadsheets, I can clean, structure, and optimize it for you.
Will I need to know how to run Python code to use my tool?
Not at all. Depending on your preference and the package you choose, I can build your final tool entirely inside a dynamic, user-friendly Excel workbook, or deliver an interactive Tableau dashboard. If we use a Python pipeline, I can provide a simple, single-click interface or a recorded video guide
How does your retail background help my business?
Most data analysts only understand math—they don't understand lead times, shelf capacity, supplier minimum order quantities, or shrinkage. Having spent 9 years managing operations on the ground for high-volume retail, I build constraints into my data logic that reflect how physical stores operate
Is my business sales data safe with you?
Absolutely. Data privacy is a priority. Your proprietary sales numbers, client details, and business metrics are treated with strict confidentiality and will never be shared, published, or used for any other purpose. I am happy to sign an NDA if your business requires it.
