Section:
Data Analytics
Technical level:
Intermediate
Session type:
Lecture
The session will give an understanding of how advance analytics can be used to drive profitable growth in eCommerce business. Various problems that exists along the eCommerce value chain are identified and analytics solutions for the same discussed.
Outline
Hewlett Packard has an online store (HPDirect.com) that provides consumers the option to purchase products online and have them delivered at the convenience of their homes. This session describes operations research solutions to a variety of problems that manifest along the e-commerce value chain, with the objective of growing share in the online sales market. First, we identify and quantify the impact of key drivers of online traffic to enhance the marketing planning and budget allocation process. Next, we apply Bayesian modeling and Markov Chain methods to predict which customers are most likely to buy which product, when are they likely to make a purchase, and through which marketing channel. Finally, we use a hybrid forecasting approach combining time series and regression modeling, to accurately predict customer orders for optimizing warehouse inventory-holding, and ensuring timely fulfillment of customer orders. These solutions when used together have led to millions of dollars in incremental impact for HPDirect.com
