Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Our project is open to individual students or groups.
Our e-commerce ecosystem connects consumers with their local producers and suppliers of fresh food and other artisanal products. We work with entrepreneurs and small businesses to help get their unique, high quality products more known by consumers. Our vision is to make fresh, unique and wholesome local products more available and accessible.
We would like to work with students in helping us support our business to succeed.
The particular challenge we are facing is how to use and manipulate data to gain greater insights for our company as well as our partners. Some questions that could be answered in helping us face this challenge include:
- How to capture all the necessary data points to effectively build and train advanced models?
- How to generate and analyze survey data to identify interests, wants, and needs?
- How to use recorded data to create full customer profiles, and how to then segment and target customers?
- How to use recorded data to provide value to customers (eg. bring attention to information, products, and experiences that they want/need)
- How to use recorded data to forecast supply and demand, and to optimize pricing?
- How to use recorded data to optimize local production (eg. know when and how much to plant of each crop, how many products to make, etc)
- How to predict production irregularities using external data sets (eg. weather & satellite data to predict yield and loss, machine or employee turnover, etc)
- How to use recorded data to optimize logistics (eg. minimize costs, minimize environmental impacts, minimize wait times)
- What can be done to visually represent this data using dashboards to help our users understand all this information as easily as possible?
- What new and disruptive technologies and models are being used in other organizations that may be a good fit for adoption at our organization?
We are looking for students who can provide:
- Attention to our real-world challenges
- Practical solutions to address our challenges
- Regular connections with our team members when necessary for information exchange
