Sales Strategy Dashboard – Tableau Insights for Sales Growth Trends
In today’s competitive sales landscape, businesses need real-time visibility into sales and profitability to adapt quickly and drive growth.
To meet this need, we developed an interactive Tableau dashboard that tracks sales performance across regions, product categories, and customer segments.
By integrating and cleaning data from ERP systems and sales platforms through SQL, the solution transformed raw sales data into actionable insights that highlight profitability trends, regional performance, and sales efficiency.
