Hi there!
I am recently reading and learning a lot about data sciences and machine learning. I am currently working as a contractor with a middle sized firm that is trading pesticides, plant protection materials and various agricultural related stuff and also packaging.
I'm currently working as a software developer but I want to show them what data science or machine learning can do to the firm. I asked the CEO previously that I'm into this and if the company might need some kind of insight based on this but he was not interested.
I honestly think that it's due to the fact that I was not able to sell the whole concept to him. I figured maybe it would be best to do it on my own and show him a few graphs or predictions that I could extract from the data I have.
The company is using a custom ERP software that I have full access to. It contains the usual stuff for billing, product list, inventory, customer data, shipping data, etc.
I know it's best if one starts these kind of tasks with a clear goal rather than "start digging and see what you can find" approach but it is what it is now..
Besides customer clustering and sales prediction what do you think should I look into?
