Project2021

Project from Project III subject from third year of Data Science Degree.

COSTOMIZE it is a university project (start-up mockup) that tries to help certain American businesses in the forecast number of customers what are they going to have on a specific day, together with income forecast and the necessary number of employees to cover the daily workforce. The model has been created from data patterns by the company SafeGraph. For this we have chosen four representative American businesses Subway, Walmart, Starbucks y Old Navy. Due to the fact that we only had data from 2020 and 2021, we wanted to choose a place where the COVID period was not extremely significant so that we could use both years for model training. Our selection was Houston, Texas, as restrictions there were not as strict and prolonged as in other states and data patterns were hardly affected by COVID-19.

Dashboard examples:

The data displayed on the dashboard is part of the validation data, so the predicted visits are relative to the validation data (not seen by the model). We have limited the data to a single month since it is a mockup of a possible start-up.

DISCLAIMER: It is a university project, we are not going to continue with him and we are not making money. It is more oriented to the construction of a Portfolio and to university research.
