When sat for the first round of discussion, the client highlighted their struggles with ticket over-selling with no-shows. Key issues identified were:
Recurring financial losses due to inaccurate demand forecasting, leading to excess ticket purchases. Compounding this issue, a significant percentage of customers failed to show up, leaving many tickets unused and resulting in revenue leakage.
The company struggled with allocating guides efficiently across various time slots. This lack of demand clarity led to overstaffing in some slots and understaffing in others, causing operational inefficiencies and missed revenue opportunities.
The client had vast amounts of customer reviews and ratings for their tours and guides, but they lacked the tools to effectively analyze this feedback. This resulted in missed opportunities to improve service quality and elevate customer satisfaction.
The project involved implementing a data-driven solution using Power BI to address the client’s challenges. Here’s how it went down:
Azure SQL Database
