Description

This dataset offers a comprehensive view of a retail distribution network in Bangladesh, encompassing three interconnected aspects: product sales targets, product information, and shop demographics. The data is spread across three CSV files, each serving a distinct purpose: 1. product target for shop.csv contains sales targets for 18 different products across 613,656 unique shops, identified by a unique shop code. This file allows for analysis of product-specific sales goals at the individual shop level. 2. product info.csv provides detailed information about the products, including their SKU IDs, names, brands, types, pricing structures, and physical characteristics. This file offers insights into the product portfolio, including 5 brands, 9 product types, and various packaging options. 3. shop info.csv presents demographic and geographic information about each shop in the network. It includes data on shop location (down to latitude and longitude), administrative divisions (division, zila, upazila), shop categorization (type, style, importance), and operational details (visit frequency, organizer). Together, these files create a multi-dimensional picture of the retail landscape, enabling researchers to explore relationships between product characteristics, shop attributes, geographic location, and sales targets. This rich dataset provides a foundation for analyses ranging from market segmentation and product placement strategies to geospatial distribution patterns and supply chain optimization.
